    What he's done to the Mavs and NBA overall is insane. But omg how caring and selfless he is for his team is shown by announcing his retirement AFTER the game and not at the beginning of the season. I wish we had athletes like Dirk in every type of sport. He's one of a kind, a true legend!

    Dirk imo is the greatest power forward ever simply because of how he redefined the game. Bigs being able to shoot the deep ball was a rare luxury until he came. He’s 6th alltime in points scored, won league MVP, won Finals MVP, his championship run was done without another complementary Allstar teammate, took $197 million in career discounts out of loyalty, played 21 years for one organization, and was an even better dude off the court.

      as a nba fan I kinda want tyson chandler dirk nowtizki vince carter pau gasol zach randolph jamal crawford nene hilario carmelo anthony d wade udonis haslem jose calderon kyle korver za za pachulia joe johnson to retire so lebron is the longest tenured player in the nba next season...they all could be and most of them will not be on teams next year or active so we will see but its funny to me if lebron is the last guy left pre 2004 draft in the nba next season and how la thinks they can win a title with him if no one else of top 10 status comes lol...a 35 year old 17th season vet lol..good job la...

    I still remember watching him losing his tooth in a game and remembering to myself, this guy has alot of heart. Who would have thought it was just the start of a great career. #ThankYouDirk

    He has a ring, he is CLEARLY a first ballot HoFer and the way he plays changed the game for Forwards in this new age of basketball. Thank You Dirk.
