It's hard to think of a player more deserving than the big German, not only has he been a true class act but he truly helped revolutionize the NBA as being one of the first great big shooting man. Congrats Dirk 👏
I grew up in st. Louis and believe me when I tell you the dirk and nash era made me a dallas fan the had no rival outside Dallas and Germany. Love that dude and his respect plus minus just got better and each year of his long carrer.
@@dallastexas5653 yeah but left because Cuban wasn't going to pay him. Cuban himself has admitted several times that it was his biggest mistake as the Mavs owner!
Mr Stein should search for a new job if he doesnt have the time to research Dirk played in the 2nd German division. And this is 2nd German Division is called "2. Bundesliga" and NOT 2. Division !!!! Thats the job of a journalist for gods sake!
Hi from Germany. I was in Würzburg to see him play during the lockout back in 99. This was the 1st division Bundesliga. He got drafted out of 2nd division but he did play a few maybe 10 1st division games. Just for your Information.
Beautiful tribute! Dirk and Tim Duncan are the most selfless, nicest human beings in nba history
Unless you were on the opposing team then they’re trying to kill you!.. with kindness

Mavs should retire Nash's number too! #41forever
Hell no. He left in free agency.

@@re-z8296 well he can go ask Phoenix to retire his jersey since they’re the ones that paid him.
Lol I like Nash but the next guy who should be getting his number retire is JET.
Digga ist Holger alt geworden😳
