Many teams had decided to get nostalgic this season. The Portland Trail Blazers have a special 50th anniversary court, the Denver Nuggets have some cool new jerseys, and the Memphis Grizzlies are kicking it back to their days in Vancouver.
But the Dallas Mavericks are winding the clock back to just last year.
It appears that Dallas will have a Dirk Nowitzki-shaped logo on their court next season. The logo looks like a watermark in the shape of Nowitzki’s famous one-legged fadeaway.

Dwight Powell says the new Dirk logo on the Mavericks court probably moves at the same speed as Dirk did last year.

Dirk, laughing: “that hurts. you can’t recover from that one. can’t wait until you get cut in two years.”
It looks like Mavericks players are already having fun at the expense of Nowitzki, and this is a great tribute that Dallas fans are sure to love.
