“Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki, who's an outspoken fan of the Rangers and the Cowboys”
Reported by NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth, November 4, 2013.
Last checked November 4, 2026: the quote still matched the page word for word.
Is Dirk Nowitzki a Rangers fan?
The word on this is a report, not a statement from Nowitzki himself. NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth described him on November 4, 2013, as "Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki, who's an outspoken fan of the Rangers and the Cowboys." That is the outlet's description, written by its own writer, and the page has no direct quote from Nowitzki about the Rangers to set beside it.
How does a Rangers fandom fit with where Dirk Nowitzki is from?
It fits where he played, not where he was born. Nowitzki was born on June 19, 1978, in Würzburg, West Germany, and played for DJK Würzburg from 1994 to 1998. The Milwaukee Bucks picked him ninth overall in the first round of the 1998 draft, and he spent his entire NBA career, 1998 to 2019, with the Dallas Mavericks. The Texas Rangers are an MLB team based in Arlington, in the Dallas area where he lived for more than two decades. The report places the fandom in those Dallas years.
Did Dirk Nowitzki grow up a Rangers fan?
Nothing here says so. He grew up in Germany, and the only dated statement about his Rangers loyalty comes from 2013, when he was in the middle of his Mavericks career. No source gives a date for when the fandom began, so there is no basis for calling it a childhood allegiance or for saying when it started.
Does Dirk Nowitzki root for other Dallas teams?
Not in his own words, as far as the sourcing goes. NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth reported on November 4, 2013 that Dirk Nowitzki is "an outspoken fan of the Rangers and the Cowboys", and the description is the writer's, not a statement from Nowitzki. The Cowboys appear in the same sentence, so the outlet treats both teams the same way, and the Rangers claim stands on that one report alone.
Is he still a Rangers fan?
As of November 2013, the report presents the fandom as current. Nothing indicates it ended, and no source disputes it. His later status was not checked, so the only safe statement is that NBC 5 called him an outspoken fan in 2013.
Which other athletes are Rangers fans?
No other players are listed alongside Nowitzki for the Rangers.
