Dirk Nowitzki has taken several pay cuts in order to play his entire career with the Dallas Mavericks.
The future Hall of Fame forward will make $5 million during the 2017-18 NBA season and has left countless millions on the table so that Mavericks owner Mark Cuban could put a better team around him.
And Nowitzki’s sacrifice has not gone unnoticed by the Dallas faithful.
A very dedicated Mavericks fan acknowledged the sacrifice the sharpshooting forward has made for the franchise and offered to buy him a modest lunch.

While Nowitzki has taken multiple pay cuts, he still has made over $200 million in his career so he can probably splurge and take this die-hard fan out for a nice meal.
