I heard shorter dudes are often desired to have in the field because of strenght to weight ratio. I'm 5'9, and weigh 130 lbs so it takes very little energy to climb or hold my own body in the air...and can lift a lot for someone my size.
Cause all of the schools that are any good (even D-1 football/basketball programs that suck) pay the top recruits to come. It’s just a matter of getting caught or not.
The NCAA is one the most corrupt organizations on planet Earth. It is crazy that Americans allow this organization to extort and exploit young athletes. I don't want to hear Americans complaining about socialism and communism when they allow an organization such as the NCAA to exist. LOL
@MAN UTD no😂😂 dude I don’t think you understand Americans we like watching people get hit we like watching football are American football not soccer the nfl will always be #1 in America as long as they don’t take it away from all the head injuries
Charles would gladly have given Dirk a dumptruck full of cash, legal or not, to play for Auburn. That's why I love Chuck. "A good damn investment" indeed.
So true. It really is a good investment. A national championship brings millions of dollars into a program, so a couple 100k is nothing. Not to mention if you don't win a title, at the very least your recruitment will go through the roof and the investment is still worth it. NCAA is super corrupt lol but fun to watch
lol. the simple, straight-forward logistics of a 7 ft grunt trying to find suitable cover from enemy fire is just too funny. Picturing Dirk do it is even more hilarious.
Also he's mainly unintentionally comedic. It's just his mannerisms and character that make people giggle. Not sure if he could think through an act. But I have to say: he's not stupid how many view him as, I think he's quite smart for an athlete tbh.

Chuck is a great story teller, I don't think they have enough time on Inside the NBA for him to tell stories like this. Always cool to find a hidden gem like this.
@UrbanProfessor "Barkley is a hypocrite he was one of Dirks biggest haters before he got a ring!!!" He always liked Dirk. He just wanted him to post up more which he did when he won the title. The fade-away jumper was so much more effective coming off of the post-up than anywhere else. That's when alot of 6'7", 6'8" and above guys started to emulate the move and add it to their repertoires. Lebron and other guys admit to starting to use it now. Imitation is the best form of flattery.
Lebron has high basketball IQ and see's the genius in Dirk's game. He also said admits Dirk in his prime was unstoppable!!! DIRK HAD THE GREATEST CHAMPIONSHIP RUN OF ALL TIME Brandon Roy /Aldridge Swept two time defending champs on the road Kobe / Gasol / Odom / Phil Jackson Dominated OKC Durant / Russ / Harden Lebron / Wade / Bosh & changed the game
@Jason he is right. KD, as well as most of the mobile big men in the league, learned the fadeaway from Dirk. No one could quite pull a fadeaway from such distance as Dirk, until Dirk
@@FecalMatador What? Are you a fan of this Superman! In all seriousness what has he ever done. He dresses nice and has personality but that's about it.

All Dirk has to do is smile and it's quite incredible how powerful a high class athlete has he was able to make the calls and dirt that didn't have to go to the army
Dirk, mich macht es stolz, dass wir Landsmänner sind! Du bist nicht nur ein überragender Spieler, du bist humble!!! Das imponiert JEDEM! Du kannst auf eine wundervolle Karriere zurückblicken!
I swear, Chuck is the only person left on the planet who can joke about anything, racism, sexism, fat women, illegal activities, and people just laugh because the storytelling is so good and he's obviously having fun. A reminder, we all used to be like this. Just normal low stress enjoyment having fun, poking fun. I miss it.
We Probably weren't pronouncing it right, but growing anytime a big man blocked a shot, or made a crisp three, we were shouting Nowitzky. One of the best to ever play the game in my opinion. Cheers buddy. Hope you and your family are good🙏
How'd ya know that?? Did you meet him or know him personally?? Lol ppl keep saying that bs.. you think personalities like Barkley, Kobe or Oakley would be bestfriends with Mike if he wasn't just like them?? Lmao Yall are too simple minded.. Mike is a billionaire brand himself now ofcourse he's changed he don't gotta go out talking jokes in public Smh.. before MJ retired he was very social w everyone.. ppl who dont know that didn't even watch nba back then lol
Dirk's number is actually an homage to Chuck, number 14 in when Chuck was playing on the Olympics but Dirk couldn't get the number in mavs cause he was still a rookie so he flipped the number to 41
I watched Dirk's retirement speech, and for a quick second, I said to myself, "Why is Barkley there?" Then I remembered this video...funny AF! Congrats and mad respect to Dirk!
and the footage question, im pretty sure it does exist, jordan used to take like the mcdonalds all stars team or something over with some pros, and they played the germans, i think that is where donnie nelson saw dirk.

100% some booze
Some lean my dudes

Superstition or OCD
It could be cold
That’s that henny in the cup nvm that. Playa swag.
why the hell do you care is the the better question
He switched hands the entire video, probably muscle memory from all those basketball drills.
All Dirk has to do is smile and it's quite incredible how powerful a high class athlete has he was able to make the calls and dirt that didn't have to go to the army

You know Chuck got more than free pizza and a scholarship from Auburn
Barkley talking about the rampant NCAA violations in the SEC.

Again lol, same here
Shout out to y’all like me who are just here because this was somehow recommended by RUclips outta nowhere.

he went to a football tryouts, one of his hilarious stories.😂
came back here after Dirk's retirement ceremony
"Dude, who the hell are you?" :D
i would love to watch even the highlights of that game chuck was talking about!
I remember first hearing about Dirk from a news article that was very similar to Charles' speech. Very cool.
