Dirk-Nowitzki-Statue, Basketball commemorative statue at American Airlines Center, United States.
The Dirk-Nowitzki-Statue stands outside the American Airlines Center and depicts the player executing his signature one-legged fadeaway shot. The white bronze sculpture rises about 23 feet (7 meters) tall and captures the distinctive shooting form that defined his playing style.
The monument was unveiled on Christmas Day 2022, honoring the player who led the Dallas Mavericks to their championship victory in 2011. Its creation marks the conclusion of a 21-year career in which the player built one of sports' longest single-team associations.
The inscription 'Loyalty Never Fades Away' on the base honors the deep connection between the player and his team. It serves as a gathering point where fans openly express their appreciation for what he accomplished during his time in Dallas.
The statue stands near the north entrance of the American Airlines Center and glows in Mavericks blue during evening hours. It is easily accessible year-round and makes for a natural photo stop whether you are visiting the arena or passing through the neighborhood.
The sculptor collaborated with the player's former coach to capture the exact trajectory and angle of the famous shot. This technical precision turns the artwork into something more than a symbolic honor, making it a documented moment from the sport itself.
