About

On April 9, 2019, Sila Sveta created a tribute show for NBA superstar Dirk Novitski’s last game.
The retiring Dallas Mavericks forward and his team won against the Phoenix Suns with a score of 120 to 109.

Concept

The several-minute-long graphic show was named 41.21.1, after Novitski’s highlight achievements playing as number 41.
In 2011, he led the team to its first championship title; Novitski played for Dallas for 21 consecutive seasons, setting a new NBA record.
The basketball hero also surpassed the 31,000-point mark over his career, cementing his status as the team’s most valuable player.

Setup

The game took place in the multifunctional stadium of American Airlines Center, located in Victory Park in Dallas, Texas.
Sila Sveta directed the 78,000-square-meter projection over the entire basketball court.
