Nowitzki 2010 interview: If recruited, I will strongly consider joining the Heat and join hands with Zhan Wei
Live Bar News on August 15, Nowitzki and Wade joined hands in the Hall of Fame the day before yesterday.
But you know what? In an interview with a German magazine in 2010, Nowitzki said that if he was recruited, he would strongly consider becoming a member of the Miami Heat that year.
Nowitzki said at that time: “It would be incredible to leave the Mavericks and go to other teams, such as playing with LeBlanc and Wade in Miami, but only when I get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, will I consider changes. For example, LeBlanc and Wade came to me and said, ‘Hey, do you want to come to Miami? This is the situation I must consider.”
In 2010, Nowitzki told the Mavericks that he would jump out of the last year contract. The heat had a chance to win him, but they finally signed Chris Bosh and Nowitzki eventually stayed.
