The team did not disclose terms of the deal but it was
reported last week that Nowitzki and the Mavericks agreed to a
two-year deal worth at least $40 million. He played last season
on a one-year contract.
During his 18-year tenure in Dallas, Nowitzki has guided the
Mavericks toward many of the franchise's greatest achievements.
He led Dallas to its first-ever 60 win season in 2002-03, first
NBA Finals appearance in 2006, a franchise-high 67 wins in
2006-07 and to the organization's first World Championship when
the Mavericks defeated the Miami Heat in the 2011 NBA Finals. He
is currently the longest-tenured player in the NBA with one
team.
Nowitzki was named Most Valuable Player of the 2006-07 season
and was MVP of the 2011 NBA Finals.
