Two devoted fans traveled from China to Dallas to meet NBA star Dirk Nowitzki.

Both wore his jersey and wielded signs that stated they'd cherished the Dallas Mavericks icon for 17 years. Upon spotting them in the American Airlines Center tunnel, Nowitzki stopped to have his photo taken with the couple.

After sharing a few seconds with the NBA's latest 30,000-point scorer, the man excitedly hugged another man in the crowd and laughed.

On the same night the Mavericks extended their winning streak to four games with a 105-96 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, Nowitzki gave two loyal supporters a moment they will never forget.
