BEST EUROPEAN NBA PLAYER – DIRK NOWITZKI
Dirk Nowitzki received a compelling 46% of a total of 2,321 votes to be named the Best European NBA player of the Decade by Eurohoops’ readers!
The 2011 NBA champion and finals MVP hang up his shoes at the end of the 2018-19 season for the Mavericks, leaving behind a great legacy for the future generations. A 14-time NBA All-Star (2002–2012, 2014, 2015, 2019), 4-time All-NBA First Team (2005–2007, 2009), 5-time All-NBA Second Team (2002, 2003, 2008, 2010, 2011) and 3-time All-NBA Third Team (2001, 2004, 2012), he is arguably one of the greatest players in NBA history.
