      its funny how some teams get remembered but dirk was on the mavs from 1999-2019....he was on all their teams..how man players can say that?...like think about that...he was a true legend...he didnt go from team to team to chase rings...he stayed in dallas suffered for 11 straight years then decided to do something about it without adding anyone special when people looked over him...and then he stayed....the mavs haven't done anything in the playoffs since that 2011 finals yet dirk stayed and thats what people appreciate....not this bandwagon shit bron kg and kd started....I respect players who stay..bird magic duncan kobe dirk...their breed is dying.....its a shame...they stuck it out....true champs....dirk won 1 single playoff series from 2007-2019 outside of that 2011 finals run...1...he lost 6 series missed the playoffs 6 of the last 7 years and since the title has 3 playoff game wins in 2 series....the dude literally suffered for 12 of the last 13 years there but thats what makes the 1 so special..it will be remembered like he won 3....kds possible 3 and even if he wins in ny will be seen as bought not earned....kobe earned his 5....mj earned his 6...dirk earned his....kd and bron are bandwagoners...totally soft generation...
