Nowitzki issued an official statement on April 1st:
Playing my whole career in Dallas has been something special. I've been surrounded by a great organization and owner, good coaches, great teammates, and the best fans in the NBA. The treatment that I have received here is unmatched and I am happy to say that as I shut it down, I still call Dallas home.
I want to thank everyone who has cheered for the team and who supported us through everything. It was never about the individual numbers for me. I never played to set records. I was too focused on playing and bettering myself and doing what needed to be done to help the team. What we accomplished in 2011 was one of the greatest moments in my career and I am never going to forget it.
However, the time has come for me to focus on the next journey of my life. I knew this day was coming for some time. I just never knew how difficult it would be for me. Seeing Steve [Nash] announce his retirement was tough. Then my wife and I had our second child. Everything just kind of fell into perspective for me.
I cannot thank the city and the fans enough. You truly are the best.
