Such a classy and humble guy. His qualities as a human being may even surpass his basketball skills. All German sports fans are proud of you, Dirk!

13:55 his german words to his parents: "What you did for me I will never forget for the rest of my life. If I become half a good parent as you were to me I would be happy" 😢

Dirk’s single ring holds more significance than hundreds of other player rings imo

Absolute class act. We will never see another Dirk Nowitzki. The GOAT for any Dallas fan. We love you Dirk! Thank you!
-
That 2011 playoff run the most legendary one IMO...
-
Greatest International player ever. A top-15 player of all time. First European NBA League MVP. Legendary Signature shot. Leader of one of, if not the hardest, NBA championship runs ever. Changed the game forever. Hall-of-Famer. Legend. Congratulations to the great Dirk Nowitzki.

To Mavericks fans, Dirk is the GOAT. Hall of fame player of course, but even better human being. Congrats Dirk on this final chapter of your career! You will forever be cherished.

You won’t find a more universally beloved athlete than this guy

Really puts things in to perspective listening to dirk. All these people he looked up to and found guidance in when as a mavericks fan we always looked to dirk as the guy. The weight of the organization was on his shoulders for 20 years and he never folded. He gave us fans everything he had. Truly deserving of this honor.

Holger looking so proud. You did an amazing job, sir, with an amazing young man. Thank you, Dirk. The ultimate winner and human being.

Before even watching this I knew I'd cry my eyes out at some point. What he said to his parents was: "If I can be half as good a father as you have been parents to me, I'm lucky." Dirk - absolute Legend <3

Dirk and Timmy. Two of the greatest forwards who didn't talk much but just killed you on the court every single time.

Ganz Deutschland ist Stolz auf dich Dirk. Du hast nicht nur einen Ring für Dallas geholt sondern auch einen für Basketball Deutschland. Du hast den Basketball hier revolutionert. Ohne dich hätte ich niemals mit diesem Wunderbaren Sport angefangen. Danke für alles Dirk!

As a german I can savely say that Dirk Nowitzki is one of the greatest sportsmen this country has ever produced. Easily on par with the likes of Schmeling, Beckenbauer and Schumacher. And his down-to-earth persona is the icing on the cake. What a guy! I’m really happy for him. 🖤❤️💛

The teary eye of Holger is a testament how proud he is on what his student accomplished. ❤

I’m smiling from ear to ear listening to Dirk’s speech. What a great guy 😊

This man is 6th all time in scoring and won one of the hardest rings in nba history.

Translation of what he said to his parents: "As long as I live I will never forget what you have done for me. If I can be half the father you were to me as parents, I will be happy." Maybe the classiest player of all time. What a guy. Danke, Dirk.

What a wonderful speech. The 2011 title was the best title win of the last 20 years.
