The Defining Moments of Dirk to debut Saturday, March 10 on FOX Sports Southwest
DALLAS – FOX Sports Southwest will televise The Defining Moments of Dirk, an in-depth, chronological look at the most meaningful moments of Dirk Nowitzki’s iconic career with the Dallas Mavericks. The one-hour show will debut Saturday, March 10 at 6:00 p.m. CT on FOX Sports Southwest prior to coverage of the Mavericks game against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Nowitzki, currently celebrating his 20th season in the NBA, sits down with host and Mavericks TV play-by-play announcer Mark Followill to reminisce about his illustrious career with the only organization he’s ever known. Topics of discussion include Nowitzki’s arrival in Dallas, friendship with Steve Nash, playing in the Olympics, relationship with mentor Holger Geschwindner, becoming the Mavs’ all-time leading scorer, the 2011 NBA Playoffs and Championship, and reaching the 30K point mark, among others.
The show is unique in that Nowitzki recounts his journey with Followill while watching clips from his past, detailing each memory as it unfolds on the screen in front of him. When the topic of legacy is broached, the future Hall of Famer has this to say:
“He’s (Nowitzki) a big guy that could shoot, who could move, that changed the game in a way; helped pave the way for some of the younger Europeans now; loved playing the game; help this team, help this city, help this franchise win games. That’s really it. Always try to be out there and help my team win games.”
