Dirk Nowitzki may have just found his subsequent career.
The Dallas Mavericks icon is one of the most celebrated players in NBA history. His 21 years with the Mavs are the most by any NBA player with one team. He is one of those athletes who just doesn’t have any enemies.
Nowitzki was revolutionary during the 2000s, a 7-footer with elite efficiency from everywhere on the floor and an iconic shot that is arguably the most unguardable in league history.
He has long been retired, and unlike other athletes, he did not dive into broadcasting or being an analyst.
These days, Dirk is going viral for something else.
Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki moved the internet by dancing with his niece.
In a compilation video, Dirk either reminded fans or showed some for the first time that he has rhythm.
Known for his impressive dance moves on and off the court, Dirk is doing it again as he gets down in two separate videos.

When tuning into a Dallas Mavs game, you would always see Dirk Nowitzki supporting the squad.
That changed in 2025, when he reportedly became very upset and even “turned off” by the Mavericks after the team traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. He felt the organization lacked communication regarding the decision.
Although initially shocked and saddened by his friend’s movement, Nowitzki has become more accepting. According to Sports Illustrated, he now feels disconnected from the franchise and is critical of its current direction under GM Nico Harrison.
The team has since gotten the number one draft pick, taking Cooper Flagg.
We shall see how long it takes Dirk Nowitzki to start coming back to games.
Nowitzki concluded his professional basketball career in 2019. Nowitzki’s career averages are 20.7 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, while shooting 38% from three-point range in 1,522 games played.
