Nowitzki started his NBA career in 1998 as a 9th overall pick for the Milwaukee Bucks. The same year, he was traded to Dallas where he has played the rest of his career. During his years in the NBA, he has been included in the All-star team 10 times.

But despite Nowitzki’s achievements, fans and pundits had always talked about the one thing missing in his illustrious career and whether he can manage to get it: an NBA championship. Marc Accetta reflects on how Nowitzki managed to get through all obstacles and achieve one of the most sought-after accomplishments every NBA superstar dreams of. “It’s amazing how many of the ‘experts’ were saying he’s soft, not a true leader, and does not have a winning spirit,” says Marc.

In the lead to their champion match against the Miami Heat, the multitude of NBA fans and pundits are not expecting the Dallas Mavericks to reach up to that certain point, so much more to beat the team with the “Big Three” in their lineup. Nowitzki proved them wrong, carrying the Mavericks to a 4-2 lead against the Heat en route to winning the franchise’s first NBA championship.

“Don’t feel because you’re on your own you can’t win. Don’t look at other companies that have superstar lineups,” Marc says, adding that Dirk “was focused on what he can do” and not on what the opponents can.

At the end of his lecture, Marc Accetta dares, “You got to win. Take your company; take your challenge; Put them on your shoulders; put your head down and win. You’d be amazed at what people will be saying about you. Your attitude could be infectious.”
