Dirk Nowitzki is part of the anniversary team of the North American Basketball League on the occasion of the NBA's 75th birthday - just like Michael Jordan, Oscar Robertson, Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell, among others.

The NBA announced.

There are a total of 76 players in the team, which was selected by a jury made up of current and former players, coaches, managers and sports journalists.

The stars brought together 158 championships, more than 1.5 million points and made 730 appointments in all-star teams.

Originally there should be 75 players for the 75th - a draw ensured the additional nomination.

It was not known which player it was.

The list includes all 50 players who were 50 on the team 25 years ago.

New to the group are LeBron James, Dennis Rodman, Kobe Bryant - and Nowitzki, among others.

Nowitzki played for the Dallas Mavericks from 1999 to 2019 and won the first and so far only championship for the Texans in 2011.

The now 43-year-old was also the most valuable player in the league in 2007 and was elected to the All-Star team twelve times.
