Before the championship sure he swore, but he never did so with malice. And it seems a lot more common now. Someone tell me I am crazy please.

I've been asking myself lately, what if Dirk wore himself out during the 2011 title run? He played at such a high level for a 2 month stretch that his basketball body might not recover from that grueling 2 month stretch.
