Who says that Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks is old and should retire? The German himself proved he can still lift up his seven-foot frame and slam it down.

Per the Dallas Mavericks on Twitter, Nowitzki proved he can still get up during pregame warmups ahead of a game with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Can Dirk Nowitzki still suit up for one more year? He still hasn't declared if this will be his final season. The dunk above shows that he still has some athleticism left.

Besides, the Mavericks won't require him to dunk every game. As with his role this year, he's there to lend some veteran support to Luka Doncic and other young guys on the team. From time to time, he can log some minutes and swish the net as he has done so many times before. Dunking is welcome, provided that he doesn't strain his back or hurt his legs.

Final season or not, Nowitzki will go down as one of the best to ever play. The Mavericks have fewer than 10 games remaining. Everyone should keep their eyes peeled whenever the German plays, because we might be seeing the last of him on the court.
