Dirk Nowitzki wants to play next season: I kinda want to make the 20 fold

Nowitzki wants to play next season too

NBA
Dirk Nowitzki wants to honor his contract and play one more season in the NBA with the Dallas Mavericks.
Nowitzki will be 40 this summer and next season would be his 20th in the NBA with the same team.

Per ESPN, Speaking to ESPN’s Marc Stein on the TrueHoop Conversations podcast, when asked if his return for the 2017-18 season can be considered a lock now, Nowitzki said: “I think so … unless something drastic changes here in the next few weeks or the last few weeks of the season, which I don’t anticipate. “I said last summer: I signed a two-year deal [and] that obviously meant I want to play for two more,” Nowitzki continued. “I want to complete that deal.‎”

“Twenty is a great number,” Nowitzki told Stein. “I think 20 seasons also with one team, like I’m trying to do it — I think only Kobe has done it — that’s another great accomplishment. So I kinda want to make the 20 fold. Plus that summer I’m turning 40. I think that’s also a good number to be in the league … from 20 to 40. That’s what I’m looking at.‎ “‘Hopefully I’ll finish this season out strong, and then have a decent year, hopefully not as [many] injuries next year.”
