In the 1998 NBA draft, DeKnoviski was selected by the Bucks with the ninth pick in the first round and then traded to the Mavericks, apparently the Bucks at the time did not recognize the value of Nowitzki, and when Treller, who was replaced by the Bucks, averaged 5.5 points per game, Nowitzki had become a superstar.
As a big player, always floating outside to shoot, let many people see him as a soft egg, and the 06 season finals were reversed by the Heat, 67 wins in the 07 season regular season were blackened, waiting for Nowitzki and the Mavericks is a succession of blows, Nowitzki's projection play, poor confrontation, coupled with the status of foreign players, let him suffer a lot in the NBA, be regarded as an outlier, and even insulted by local players, that time is now the darkest period of Nowitzki in the NBA.
And Nowitzki did not give up on himself, he worked silently with the name of soft egg, always ready to wash away his shame. Until 2011, Nowitzki led the Mavericks 4:2 to beat the Heat to win the team's first championship, and was elected the Finals Most Valuable Player, to know that the Mavericks were facing the Heat team with the peak James, that year's series, Nowitzki convinced everyone, no one would believe that the Mavericks won the championship before the game began, everyone including the Mavericks fans did not believe, and Nowitzki did such a miracle, He averaged 26 points, 9.7 rebounds and 2 assists in 40.3 minutes per game in the Finals, and the Heat had no one to stop him, thus winning his career-worthy championship and FMVP. Nowitzki's 2011 victory also made him a household name, and it is also the championship with the highest gold content in recent years.
On April 10, 2019, Mavericks owner Cuban promised to build a statue for Nowitzki and retire his No. 41 jersey, his career showed us what one man, one city, and the Hall of Fame should only be a matter of time for him.
