It’s always nice to hear from dirk, legend.

With Kleber being out for the rest of the playoffs, the Thunder caught a big break.... He's not a star or anything but he's a big contributor off the bench and can spread the floor hitting the 3 @ 6'10. He's also a very good defender; but he needs to be more careful how to attacks the basket.. He almost broke his damn neck a couple of yrs ago going for an alley-oop when he was landed on his neck, now this injury...

Paul George from Game of Zones 2019: “I will lose in the playoffs no matter where I go… but LA has a beach.”

First time hearing Dirk talk, Never noticed his accent. He has Texas, German , and East coast accent as vernacular

Crazy to see The era of NBA Basketball shift away from the past decade.

Alot of people don't know that Dirk is one of only 7 players to have 30K points. 1. Bron 2. Kareem 3. Malone 4. Kobe 5. MJ 6. Dirk and 7. Wilt

Dirk can hold his own in the post. He's a good post-defender because of his length and anticipation. He's slow laterally, though which might be a problem in a "switch-heavy" scheme today. When Dirk's involved in a P n' R action, he doesn't drop. He usually shows and then recovers back to his original assignment. What's good about him though, is that he's quick to recover to his man.

Best wish to him. Hope he make it to the League!
