He’s spent his entire career with the Mavericks, leading them to their only NBA championship in 2011. Nowitzki’s 29,491 points is not only the most in Mavericks’ history, but also the seventh most in NBA history. He’s a 13x All-Star and has appeared on 12 All-NBA Teams (4x First Team, 5 Second Team, 3x Third Team). His best regular season came during the 2006-2007 season, in which he averaged 24.6 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game. He also registered a 50-40-90 season (50 percent from the field, 40 percent from three, and 90 percent from the free throw line). He was awarded with the league MVP. Nowitzki is the greatest Maverick of all-time and it’s not even close. His 2011 run to the NBA finals is among the most dominant runs by a single player in NBA history. C- James Donaldson:
