Although he hasn't been shy about his voicing his opinion when it comes to NBA players participating in international basketball competitions, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is supporting Dirk Nowitzki's latest decision to play in Eurobasket '15.

Eurobasket will be held in Nowitzki's home country of Germany. Nowitzki, 37, hasn't played international basketball in over four years.

Here's what Cuban told ESPN.com about Nowitzki's decision:

"I think it's great," Cuban told ESPN.com through the Cyber Dust messaging app Thursday. "Games are being played in Germany. It will be a chance for his fans there to see him play."
