spurs fan here, without a doubt my favorite rival. i'll never forget the heartbreak of game 7, 2006 conference finals. never thought i'd shed a tear when an opponent retired but here we are.
Thats unfair towards players nowadays. You never know about the inner workings of an organization. What good is there in staying loyal to a company that treats you like shit. doesnt wanna pay your money and doesnt help you get anywhere?
When you are the biggest miser amongst your social circle and rarely spend money outside of necessities but your willing to miss work, drive out to San Antonio, and spend money in excellent seats to see your hero play in his final game ever #ThankyouDirk
Don't know this guy personally and it wonders me why am i crying watching this video. This guy made an impact to my life without meeting him eye to eye.
Man, I cried when I saw Dirk wipe his tears after the tribute. Since I was 17, been following the NBA and Dirk. Awesome player. One of a kind. What a role model
Just imagine 41 years old, 21 years with the Mavs and with 1 NBA grand championship ring on his finger! An amazing journey to the towering German! Hope that the next German face in the NBA will shine as bright as him when he appears for the Lakers!
my favorite player.. the one who makes me fall inlove with nba. Im 3rd year highschool when I started to love Nba because of Dirk. 2010 that was amazing and so hyped. thankyou for everything dirk
Love uuuu dirkyyyy. I was too young when I came to US and didn't had money to get a poster so took a newspaper article and pasted ur photo in my room for 10 years till we repainted our house and my parents threw the paper pic away lol 🤦🏻♂️.. I have all the memories with me. Tried your fade away against everyone I faced. Man U will be missed Dirk. True legend man. A Goat 🐐
Wade was great but he’s a common SG you can find better. Dirks arguably the most internationally known player. In the words of Van Gundy “Dirk nowitzki has become a household name across the world. Kobe, Michael, Dirk
That Should Be A Record. 21yrs With 1 Team. Never Traded Up On Them Nor Got Big Headed. He Is Truly 1 Of The Most Influential Players Of All Time. I Am Proud To Say That I Have Enjoyed Watching Him Play And Being Able To Actually Go To Their Games. I'm Maybe 20 Mins From The Arena. I'm Glad I Had The Chance To Experience That. Wish He Went One More Year So I Could Have Taken My Son When He Turns 1🤣
@@frankpagel39 Yeah of course Bro, but Big Yao’s prime time was too short because of injury and there’s no championship run when he played for that Houston. The population of Rockets fans in China is no doubt No.1 but the loyalty in NBA is hard to tell in my opinion.
@@imdbtruth I think there is not so much relationship between the color and popularity for most Chinese fans eyeing for NBA. The real fans behind Jeremy Lin is also a small crowd in China. We always think highly of players’ production and performance especially for a overseas league. Kobe, Lebron, DWade, AI, Steph, Klay, Irving, CP3 even KD, they are all black and have more Chinese fans than Dirk.
I don’t think it has anything to do with race since there are still a bunch of Iverson fans in China! Dirk is a legend and been that since x amount of years that’s why they love him. Same in Europe
2004 pre olympiks Team USA vs Germany #. Probably the best game Dirk ever played almost alone against the NBA all stars. But Iverson kills!!!!! Germany with a Buzzer Beater !! Insane Game!!
I wonder who was the one hater on here that put a dislike 🤔 dirk is the greatest proud to be a Dallas Mavericks fan for life thank you number 41 live forever
I wish he could stay in team for couple years more. Not as a player but as a role model for Luka. Give his life examples to build another great europian for NBA and especially for Mavs. Danke Dirk for all you have done.
For now on when I shoot something into the the trash I will yell “Dirk” as i fade back on one foot, then watch it fall into the trash can or explode if its full cup of flat gas station pop, THANK YOU for your 21 years of service German Goat 🐐💯x💯
i think he have never need to pay for a ticket to see his mavs. and not for a coke, popcorn or something else in dallas! 41.21.1. greetings from germany
