Statue of Dirk Nowitzki

The statue of Dirk Nowitzki, nicknamed "The Fadeaway," stands 23 feet tall in white bronze in front of the American Airlines Center in Dallas. It depicts the former Dallas Mavericks player shooting his signature one-legged fadeaway jump shot. The monument was designed beginning in 2019 and unveiled to the public on December 25, 2022. Visitors can view this lifelike tribute to a basketball legend, which was sculpted by Omri Amrany with direct input from Nowitzki, his wife Jessica, and his longtime coach Holger Geschwindner. The statue is a must-see for sports fans and anyone interested in public art, located outside the arena where Nowitzki played his entire NBA career.
