The Dallas Mavericks continue to honor franchise great Dirk Nowitzki more than 6 years after his final game.

The team sponsored a renovation project of two basketball courts in Nowitzki's hometown of Würzburg, Germany, which were unveiled this week.

According to a news release from the Mavericks, the project was a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Dirk Nowitzki Stifung, the branch of Nowitzki's charity that focuses its work in Germany. Stifung is German for foundation.

"We are pumped and proud to present this community, my hometown, with two beautiful courts. The Mavs are my family, Dallas is my new home, but this is where I grew up. So, for my two worlds to collide, to come together in a way like this for the community means a lot," Nowitzki said.
