    Yeah I know, Rox forum and all but this fact can't be denied if you've ever come across Dirk. He is a multiple time all-star on my nicest NBA player all-star team. In fact, take away the fact he is an NBA player and he is still one of the nicest people in general.

    Him doing this-stopping to hold a convo w/this kid in the video is no surprise at all. I think Mavs fans know how lucky they are to have him.

    This was at the Toyota Center before one of the playoff games.

    He's a perennial flopper & he's destroyed us over the years despite that I really do like Dirk.

    That being said, can't wait til him & Duncan retire.

    German is basically dutch with an accent. ..
    That being said understanding it is easy but speaking is more difficult. Atleast fot a dutchman. I did suck at it in high school.

    Yes lol .I can understand a little dutch written because of german.
    But in general german is a hard hard language that you have to swallow your tongue for 2 minutes before you say a sentence or your syntax/grammar will not make sense. Not good for us southerners who like to speak fast and a lot. ;)

    He's cool. Honestly, if he was on another other team other than the Jazz or Lakers I would be fine with him. Dirk as a 76er would be cool. Dirk and AI tho.

    I think he's one of the biggest whiners to ever play the game of basketball. Whines to refs on every single call. Yells at his team mates. He's a gigantic cry baby on the court.

    He was cool until he took a massive pay cut to accommodate perennially injured diva Chandler Portions

    Do classy guys sexually grope women when they are out on the town. That's what dirk did to one of my family members. Hardly classy. F**k him.

    Never liked him in his first couple of seasons, hated him through the 2000s... I certainly am not going to like him because of a few youtube vids. I'm sure other players are just as nice to fans, we just don't see it on the interwebs.
