Quote:
PHOENIX -- Dirk Nowitzki stumbled about 18 times by his own count as he drove left, gathered himself with one crucial step to rattle in a fallaway baseline dagger out of nobody's textbook, then showed us his truly unorthodox move.
Nowitzki didn't pop his jersey in celebration. He tugged it from the bottom.
Instead of grabbing it at the top to puff out the DALLAS on his chest, like Kobe Bryant and everyone else does, Nowitzki commemorated the biggest basket of the Mavericks' season by pulling tightly on his shirttail, trying for the same effect.
"I was too hyped up," Nowitzki said later with a laugh, "to even know what I was doing."

It's not as clear as I thought. Since we don't see the literal question being asked, we can only guess Stein (or someone else) brought up the particular subject of the jersey pull to him.
