NBA Greats Dirk Nowitzki And Dwyane Wade Have Played Their Last Games
The careers of two NBA greats, Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks and Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat ended last night, in otherwise, virtually meaningless NBA regular season finales.
They played against each other in two memorable NBA Final Series, each capturing a playoffs MVP in their title winning season (Wade in ’06 and Dirk in 2011).
Nowitzki won his lone title in ’11 while Wade, denied that first year (’11) after the NBA sanctioned “pick your team,” which drastically affects competitive balance in a 5 player sport, paired him with LeBron James, did win titles the next two seasons, giving him 3 in his great career.
Spelling still counts, thus always remember the “y” in Mr. Wade’s first name and the “z” in Dirk’s last name.
