James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Dirk Nowitzki scored his 30,000th point on Tuesday night, and while the entire NBA celebrated his monumental achievement some of the best messages came from the players and people who know him best. Former teammates and people close to the Mavericks sent some really sweet messages.

Steve Nash sent a sweet message along with the best blast from the past imaginable.

Mark Cuban didn’t dive quite so far back, but still shared a memory.

Michael Finley congratulated his big brother.

Tyson Chandler sent a heartfelt message.

Shawn Marion still admires the fadeway.

J.J. Barea.

Devin Harris was happy for himself as well.

Huge congratulations to Dirk Nowitzki. Reaching 30,000 puts him in rare company, and the achievement is nothing short of spectacular.
