Watch as Dirk Nowitzki receive the key to the city of Dallas from mayor Mike Rawlings.

Dirk Nowitzki became the third person to receive a key from mayor Mike Rawlings during his seven-year tenure. Nowitzki’s dedication to the community has been shown through his charity work with his organization, the Dirk Nowitzki Foundation. Annual celebrity charity events and other fundraisers are some of the ways the future hall-of-famer has raised money for the youth and the city of Dallas. His long time efforts have finally been noticed by the mayor and the award is well-deserved.
