Dirk Werner Nowitzki (pronounced [noˈvɪtski]) (born June 19, 1978 in Würzburg, Germany) is a German basketball player for the United States' National Basketball Association's (NBA) Dallas Mavericks. Standing at 7 ft 0 in (2.13 m), Nowitzki is an all-purpose forward, able to play any position in the frontcourt (center, power forward, or small forward).
Nowitzki was selected with the 9th overall pick in the 1998 NBA Draft by the Milwaukee Bucks and was immediately traded to the Dallas Mavericks for their sixth pick, Robert "Tractor" Traylor. Nowitzki is widely regarded as one of the best players in the NBA today. Although there have been numerous German players in the NBA, in 2006 Nowitzki became just the second German-born player (after Detlef Schrempf) to make it to the Finals.
In May 2007, Nowitzki became the first European-born player in NBA history to receive the league's Most Valuable Player award.[1]
