Exchange of statements before the NBA Cup semifinals which ended with the San Antonio Spurs prevailing over the Thunder
Dirk Nowitzki
There are times when the stars want to come together, and for that, they have to play a little with the salary cap.
Since retiring from basketball, Dirk Nowitzki has continued to live in Dallas, where he played throughout his NBA career. Last Sunday, as a big tennis fan, he was in attendance at the city's ATP 500 final between Casper Ruud and champion Denis Shapovalov. Just a few hours later, the German hopped on a plane to Los Angeles to watch Luka Doncic's debut with the Lakers in person: "I have always admired him. A great mentor. For him to fly from Dallas was amazing. I appreciated it a lot," remarked the Slovenian superstar after the game.

Dirk Nowitzki is one of the great legends in the history of Dallas Mavericks and still can't hide his displeasure over Luka Doncic's trade. "I was in shock when I heard the news. It will take some time before we can all process what happened. I will always cheer for the Mavs, but this trade has hurt me a lot," said the German, before adding that the loss of up to $100 million resulting from this move for the Slovenian, will not be decisive for him. "I know him well and I know he's not someone who plays for money," he said.

Dirk Nowitzki is one of the greatest players in the history of basketball. He revolutionized the NBA in his own way, with his height and outside shooting, becoming the first European to challenge the Americans. The German was MVP in 2007 and champion in 2011 as the undisputed leader of the Dallas Mavericks. With the arrival of Amazon Prime Video to the premier league in the 2025/26 season, the '41' of the Mavs will be one of the platform's luxury commentators.
