In the future, those of us privileged enough to be alive now will look back on the jaw-dropping exploits of Steph Curry and realize with nostalgia how fortunate we were to witness this era.
Truth is that the previous generation will always be overcome by the new gen. The game evolves and adapts. Just like how curry is a better shooter than Bird now
Even Cuban was yelling at him to. Very poor situational awareness by Walton in that moment. Hilarious that Dirk forced him to take one right after that anyway by splashing again though.
Was für eine Persönlichkeit... Unglaublich!!! Er besitzt alles, was ein herausragenden Sportler und Mensch ausmacht! Bleib gesund Dirk!!!!! Danke für Alles 👍
NBA fans not in Dallas & who aren't Mavs fans so undervalue and underrate him. They know nothing about his game, or think he's legitimate & deserving of his accolades. They don't recognize how much of a transcendent player he is/was to the league..which is a big deal. Again, they undervalue him. The Nation needs to give him more love.
It's been that case his entire career. They'll go, "He's the best European player," or they'll say, "He's the sweetest shooting 7 footer ever." Negating that he carried some garbage supporting casts to 50 win seasons the majority of his career. Best sidekick he ever had was Nash. Never had a true all star after that. 30k points, a ring, finals MVP, and HOF career later, they have to shut the fuck up. Dirk seems to be the only one that gets knocked for his defense to. As if every nba great in the history of the league was specifically a two way player. I also hate looking at his double double average in the playoffs, and hearing that he "couldn't rebound." Dirk played in the best era for a PF ever. Find an era that has Timmy, KG, Pau, Amare, CWebb, Wallace, and ZBO talent in the same time period. They all lit each other up. Yet Dirk is the one singled out for defense, when he eventually developed a pretty solid help defensive game later in his career.
Jason Terry was a good player, not a really good player. He was a clutch shot maker, and a streaker that could carry a team in spots if he was hot. Terry was the 2nd scoring option for Dallas for years, when Terry should be 3 or 4. JT was either scalding hot or ice cold. Which is why he was brought in off the bench. As a 6th man he hit his stride, because he could attack 2nd string guards, and take more risks shooting the ball. Him and Dirk were a nice pick and roll combo when they got used to each other. Terry is a Maverick great. He however is the worst sidekick of all the teams Dirk had to compete against to get to the championship. Timmy had Tony Parker and Manu. Kobe had Shaq, Pau, and Artest. Lebron had Wade and Bosh. Nash had prime Amare, Marion, and Joe Johnson. Dirk had... Jason Terry? Dirk had FAR less of a supporting cast than any of the greats for most of his career.
Jason Terry was a good, not great player. But, that doesn't matter. He had the game of his career in Game 6 in Miami in 2011, and that brought Dirk and Dallas their only championship.
I simply love, how the three-pointer rushes through the net after the 30.000. As if there was nothing to it. Naturalness in perfection. If I had to name the greatest moment in sports that I've witnessed live (on TV), it would be the day Dirk and the Mavericks won the title in Game 6 in 2011: Middle of the night, German time, somewhere in the middle of nowhere in Schleswig-Holstein, northern Germany, my dad and I and a shaky internet stream. Memories!
I saw him when I was 16. and I got busy for study and naturally away from NBA. Now I got a job and 32. And he became a legend from fresh man from Germany. you are my role model of life. big man!
I had the utmost fortune to be at this game. It was absolutely surreal to see this happen. Dirk is one of my all-time favorites and to witness this was so awesome. I remember vividly getting to the AAC early to watch warmups and Dirk was hitting every single shot and I knew something special was gonna happen. This video gave me goosebumps. Dirk is the greatest to me. Swish 41!!!!
Dirk, UNTOUCHABLE in his prime. The early 2000's were an amazing time to be a Mavs fan :D LOVE you Dirk, now go rest those legs son. They need it! LeBald wishes he could get an ovation like this!! Dirk did it with class, being humble and doing it his OWN WAY! A LEGEND! We LOVE you Dirk, you are a TRUE Texan to us!!
Einer der wenigen deutschen sportler von denen ich meinen Hut ziehe. Einfach unglaublich was er geschafft hat, davon träumt doch jeder der basketball spielt
As a child Dirk wanted to play Tennis until such time that the game of basketball was introduced to him and now he is a legend and an all time great in the nba and all time great power forwards ever!
The 7 footer sharp shooter and his unstoppable fade away shot. I don't really like watching basketball but I watched the whole finals Dallas vs Cavaliers before and they became champ..
Jason Terry’s tribute was touching. Forgot how amazing this first half was. Blessed to grow up a Mavs fan and watch Dirk for every year he’s been in the league. Now he gets to be the bridge to the next generation of Luka and KP. Go Mavs!!!
wow. I totally forgot he was on track for that this past season. I'm a spurs fan for life and the battles they had with the mavericks was always memorable. I have to give dirk respect and total admiration for what he has done. Beside my team winning the championship, I almost cried to see him win a title, and what ppl said about him, and destroyed the heat. Man him and the spurs showed me, heart, humbleness, never give up attitude and nothing can stop you. Even if there some bumps in the way. Respect dirk the net jerker
Honestly speaking I am more interested in soccer like most Germans. But watching this stunning German basketball player and even more important experiencing such a kind and down-to-earth human being makes me happy. I hope a lot of young people will copy his style of play but even more his down-to-earth nature. This is Dirk's biggest legacy. Congrats from Germany to our German Wunderkind!
@@PlutoDarknightthat’s why tall players are perferred in nba. you can be the most skilled baller, but you can’t reach height. a 6 foot fadeaway is nice, but a 7 foot fadeaway is unstoppable
WOW WHAT A GREAT TEAM. THE MATES REALLY JUST FOCUSED ON THE BIGGEST THING IN DIRKS LIFE. THEY HELPED HIM OUT SO MUCH LIKE HE DID IN THE 90s. GREAT TO SEE HOW EVERYBODY RESPECTS AND AIMS FOR 30 K POINTS BY DIRK. EVERYBODY HAVE A BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS.
You know, all those guys, who still talk him down ala "Lebron threw the final away"(just not true), "Dirk cant defend"(7th all time on the defensive rebound list), their hate will be forgotten soon. But the love for this man, the love you see in this video, that will live on. Go Dirk, go for Michaels number, go for top 5,top 4. Couldnt happen to a nicer or better player.
I think he is the first German born NBA champion. This man is dope at this era. Great physique and scorer. Glad to see him to be hall of fame with his buddy Steve Nash!
5:23 you KNEW it was going in! Good job for him! Bravo 👏 Well played my man. He is one of THE best to ever have done it! 7 feet tall ALL finesse (in the beginning). Then in 2011 finals He took over that game and single handed ky beat the Miami Heat team. Nobody has represented the game of basketball any better than Dirk. With one of the Mist unstoppable shots to block, the fade away one leg.... he will be a first ballot hall of farmer without Question!
21 seasons for one team. No player has ever played more for a single team. That is loyalty
He also took less money so we could bring in better players!
