Others out there. I snagged one quote for a sig.

Reflections
Nowitzki prefers to stay hidden, keep everyone focused on his game. Off the court, he takes the brilliant tack of appearing uninteresting, which he is decidedly not. (How many NBA players teach themselves guitar or read Joseph Conrad?) At press conferences he drops his voice, tape recorders shoved beard-close. He avoids eye contact, says little. Dull by design, he has no interest in being the color in the commentary. “He’s a character. He’s funny,” says teammate Jason Kidd. “He can laugh at himself. But unless you’re in the inner circle, you’ll never see that side.”
....
Or rather, if Mavs fans have spent the last decade building a 20-foot high statue of Nowitzki in marble, Glock and Crain have destroyed it. Not in the name of myth-shattering revolution, but simply so we can erect a new one, standing a mere seven feet, bearing the inscription: “Behold Dirk Nowitzki, the man who made the Mavericks great.
