It was an emotional night at the AAC on Wednesday. Not only was it the Dallas Mavericks salute to first responders, but it was also a night to salute Dirk Nowitzki. After spending 21 years and counting with the Dallas Mavericks and contributing a great deal, not only to the team but to the community, Dirk Nowitzki received the key to the city.
After the ceremony the Mayor and Nowitzki joked about the (lack of) perks that come with the honor.
