    His loyalty to Dallas really is the greatest thing about Dirk! Hes one of the greatest to ever play in the NBA! Its not just him sticking with the mavs his entire career... Its the pay cuts hes taken over & over again to try & do whats best for team is most Impressive... I think Dirk n Duncan went back n forth trying to do whats best for their teams in terms of staying & the contracts they would take when they both even in their last yrs could still get MAX $ if they really wanted it.... Right now at 40 yrs old if Dirk wanted 30M+ per yr from Cuban he would get it! Or whatever the Max is per yr for someone like Dirk!

    I've lived in Dallas since 1994. I'm the same age as Dirk too. When Dirk was younger every blue moon I'd hear from somebody they saw him out at a club or a bar having a good time, usually with Steve Nash. Not a lot, just every so often. I never heard about Dirk being a jerk or anything to anyone. He just liked to get his party on when he was younger. Then about the time the Mavs made the Finals in '06 & lost, you really didn't hear much good about Dirk in the media. I think Dirk was still a great guy, but it was obvious that he became more secluded, more private & definitely focused on bringing home a title. Plus, the media & fans were very frustrated with Dirk & the Mavs at that time. From '06 to '11, you would start to hear respect for Dirk. Definite respect for his loyalty to the franchise. Respect for him as a great player, still questions about could he lead a team to a title... and then they won!! That's really when the love affair with Dirk & Dallas began. It's a little sad to me from the standpoint that Dirk is & always has been a great human being and that it would take a title for people to really talk about what a great person he was so much. Still, things couldn't have worked out better. I've lived in Dallas for close to 25 years, the entire time Dirk has been here & I've never heard anything but the absolute best from anyone whose ever told me they had an interaction with him. I listen to a local Sportsradio station, and Dirk has been coming on the midday show for an hour once a year for the past 20 years. They talk about him in glowing reviews & they're honest. If Dirk were an asshole, they'd say so in not so many words, but they always talk about what a great dude he is, just down-to-earth, just a guy, who's just a guy, just an average dude who happens to be anything but average on the basketball court. I think Dirk is maybe one of the greatest people to ever play professional sports, and it's just a bonus that he happens to be one of the best hoopers to ever do it. #41 #MFFL

    Easy for Kobe to say. The Lakers had TWO 25 yr old all stars when Kobe got there (Shaq & Eddie Jones). And he spent his career in LA, which was a tie breaker to a lot of contracts signed. Kobe is the guy who talks about how hard it was being raised by a poor single mom, and fails to mention that his lawyer dad lives 2 blocks away, pays $5K a month in child support, and takes them on vacations a few times a year. GTFOH.

    As a Lakers fan, Dirk and Tim Duncan were always my favorite opponents. Dirk was so ahead of his time, a 7 footer who can make threes and fallaways and who could score basically anywhere on the floor. Would have been right at home in an era where Nikola Jokic is the MVP. Much respect to Dirk for not bailing on Dallas, will always be one of the classiest guys in the league.

    1:39 The greatest respect I’ve ever seen. Dirk hits a Kobe fade-away. Runs into Kobe. Recognizes it’s Kobe. Pats him on the heart/chest. Kobe nods and tells his teammate “tough shot” Rip Kobe, the best to ever do it.

    Dirk and the Mavs had been great that season. We are so stupid and arrogant talkin' about what should have been, what could have been. This guys played in the league for 10/15 years, workin' their butt off. I like especially that kind of stories. Stand by your team. Times are easy when you win title after title. But every title is hard work. And it's also hard work competing and challenging the best teams for many years even if you don't win the title. I was so happy for the entire Mavs team. This is what team spirit is all about. Love you Dirk, J-Kidd, Jet, Tyson, Shawn, J.J., Custodian, ... and also Mark Cuban for believin' and let your men play! Go Mavs
