Said longtime rival Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks: “He was always un-flashy. That’s why he was never in the limelight so much. But he was so good. Could do it all. “Pass. Score on both blocks. Drive. Rebound. Great defender. Great shot-blocker. But he was always about winning, never about making a brand out of himself. That’s what I appreciated the most.” – via ESPN.co
