It was big, emotional and memorable night for the greatest Dallas Mavericks player ever and his legion of fans.

Dirk Nowitzki, who played all of his 21 NBA seasons in Dallas, saw his #41 jersey hanging from the rafters of the American Airlines Center after the game against the Golden State Warriors, which the Mavs won 99-82.

Golden State offered its tribute to Nowitzki in a video during a third-quarter timeout.
