Rick Carlisle had awesome wardrobe choice for Nowitzki street naming ceremony

The Mavericks and the city of Dallas honored Dirk Nowitzki on Wednesday in a ceremony that saw a portion of a street that runs alongside American Airlines Center renamed Nowitzki Way. That brought all the luminaries out, but none of them had a better story than Rick Carlisle.

Carlisle, the longtime head coach of the Mavericks, had a rather appropriate choice of suit — the same one he wore when Nowitzki led the Mavericks to the 2011 NBA title, which has never been cleaned.

Nowitzki admitted that having a street named after him was a little bit embarrassing. The tributes probably didn’t help, as Nowitzki is a humble guy. But Carlisle wearing a champagne-soaked suit that hasn’t been cleaned for eight years? Now that’s dedication. Nowitzki should be proud of that.
