The former NBA-Superstar Dirk Nowitzki has ruled out a career as a coach. “Coaching is not in my plans. It might be fun to work with the guys individually, but team coaching is the last thing I want to do. Honestly. Standing there, making speeches, motivating the players – I hardly have the patience with my children“said the Würzburger in Dallas.
All other options are on the table. Nowitzki, who continues to live in Texas with his family, is currently acting as a consultant to Dallas Mavericks.
All the fame is uncomfortable for him
The 43-year-old will be on Thursday night before his longtime club’s game against the Dallas Mavericks Golden State Warriors Another honor is given when his jersey with the number 41 is pulled under the ceiling and never given again. Nowitzki ended his active career a good three years ago.
For more than two decades, culminating in the first title in club history in 2011, Nowitzki had played for Dallas without interruption. Soon there will even be a statue of him in front of the arena. “Hopefully this is the last honor I get“, Nowitzki said. That was a bit of a spotlight for him.
