Mark Cuban Promises Dirk Nowitzki A Job For Life And The Biggest, Most Badass Statue Ever
Dirk Nowitzki is one of the realest dudes in this league!
Over these last 20 years, he and Mavericks’ owner Mark Cuban have become good friends. Whenever Dirk was a free agent, he was wating for free agency to be almost over, in order to set his salary accordingly. He sacrificed a lot of money, simply because he wanted to play with a competitive roster. 2006’s most valuable player was basically paying other players’ salaries (Parsons, Chandler etc…) out of his own pocket.
The bond and trust Cuban and Dirk share is something we might never see again in the NBA. But being such a devoted player, gives Dirk the permission to say and do stuff nobody else would be allowed to. It also gives him the permission to choose whatever job he wants within the organization. This and the biggest badass statue one can imagine.
“I promise you that everything you taught us will continue on. I promise you, that you have a job for life. I don’t care what you do. I promise you, that we’ll retire your number. And I promise you we will put the biggest, most badass statue EVER… and we’ll put it right in front of the arena. Thank you!”
