Dirk’s Loyalty

Just watching what transpired this summer between the Miami Heat and Dwyane Wade, and you can’t help but appreciate Dirk Nowitzki’s loyalty. It’s rare and the Dallas Mavericks should be thankful for that.

When he had all incentive to walk this summer and play for a NBA title contender, Dirk decided to stick it out in Dallas. He could’ve joined a team like the Golden State Warriors or San Antonio Spurs. Instead, he stayed true the franchise that helped give him everything he has.

Taking paycut after paycut, Dirk was finally rewarded this summer in the tune of a two-year, $50 million contract.
