Unless he's being interviewed by the Media. He was consistently a rude, classless dick to so many Media members during in-game and post-game pressers. There was no reason for it. Those people were just doing their jobs. Let's face it, it's just basketball they're covering, not world politics or science. There simply aren't that many intellectually compelling questions to ask about men playing a basketball game. Any time Pop didn't like a question, he was curt, condescending, and outright rude to whoever asked it. Oddly, no one called him out on this crappy behavior. Everyone just gave the man a pass. I'll never know why. I'm glad his team has sucked for many years now, because he doesn't have the ability to get away with such awful behavior.

Can’t believe my eyes. You were my idol, my role model… You gave me some of the greatest memories a fan can ask for. I really wish we could still see you day to day dirk:/

To anyone who didn’t follow Spurs’ basketball, Dirk was referencing the tribute the Spurs did at home the last time he was playing there. A great video showing his best plays against the Spurs in all the hard fought battles they had over the years.

Dirk is the greatest. I'm glad I got to watch his career as a Mavs fan. His humility and loyalty are rare traits of modern athletes. So glad he never went to play for anyone else despite the endless offers and opportunities.

Nice to see that beautiful smile on Coach Pop’s face.

Dwade beat mavs for the title in 2006 and mocking Dirk when he was sick in the finals
