I really am not at the stage where I can talk about it yet and feel comfortable talking about it. I'm more than happy to answer basketball questions, but I think at this point, I just can't talk about it."

For the next seven minutes, Dirk answered questions about the series against Denver. He downplayed concerns about whether the drama in his personal life would be a distraction.

"I'll be ready," he said. "I'm a warrior."

Dirk's session with the media horde ended abruptly when WFAA Ch. 8's Brett Shipp attempted to ask about claims by Cristal Taylor, the 37-year-old woman arrested, that she is engaged to Dirk and pregnant with his child.

"I'm not commenting on that," Dirk said repeatedly.

Chris Webber begs to differ

If you have cash - and Dirk has tons of it (he gets paid $300,000+ a week every week of the year) - this is an inconvenience not a tragedy. It's like a traffic ticket for running a red light for me and you.

I don't quite agree. I don't think we really have enough information on this to gauge it one way or the other, unless you're holding out on us and know something we don't. And looking at the legal ramifications is just one aspect of this story. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that learning your new baby momma has a list of aliases and a rap sheet is more than just inconvenient - if that's what happened.

Yeah I'm sure a lot of posters on here are feeling pretty good about the way their girlfriends/wives look today. I've seen some lesser attractive NBA wives/girlfriends but wow.

I love you Dirk, but it's time to rebound with a few models.

MaVs 41 BaLler · 05-07-2009, 05:05 PM

Wow just more reason for haters to say why Dirk Nowitzki sucks.

This kinda scares me.

RareMilk · 05-07-2009, 05:09 PM

I wonder what Dirk is going through right now and I refuse to accept anything until it is proven official. But I'm thinking she probably emasculated him at the house.

MaVs 41 BaLler · 05-07-2009, 05:17 PM

The only way Dirk can overcome this is if he drops 60 points and takes us to the WCF.

Take Dallas to the finals then win it all and then do whatever you want to do with her.

Hope Dirk will not retire because of this.

According to the Hardline's team sources (Followill?):

-They’ve been messing around off and on for about 6 years.
-She has caused a riff between him, the team (can't remember if they specified teammates) and his family.
-Dirk found orchestrated this whole thing to go down while he was away on business.

Nope. For the most part, nobody has any duty to report a crime. There are some exceptions that you're probably familiar with, a lot of which have to do with child abuse and people who work with/are in charge of children, but obviously that's not applicable here.

mav4ever · 05-07-2009, 05:53 PM

people people people!!!!!!

give the guy a break man!!!!

so he knocked up a hispanic looking chick that kinda looks like a dude with long hair that has many aliases and has just been arrested for not paying for 15000 dollars worth of dental services.

i mean really!!!!???????

how many of us have NOT done the same thing??????

Big Shot Rob · 05-07-2009, 05:54 PM

My own theory:

1. Dirk meets woman and falls in love;

2. She moves in;

3. Dirk proposes marriage;

4. Shortly thereafter, he has suspicions about her. Her stories just don't add up;

5. Dirk speaks to his attorney--who suggests the woman be thoroughly investigated--Dirk agrees--attorney gets an investigator to do the job;

6. PI reports back to Dirk and his attorney; tells them both the woman is a con artist with an outstanding warrant;

7. Attorney tells Dirk their conversations are privileged, but knowledge of the location of a wanted felon is not privileged and must be divulged to the police or else Dirk--now with notice of her background and warrant--may be accused of harboring a fugitive;

8. Dirk reluctantly agrees

9. Attorney tips off law enforcement authorities...

If Dirk WANTS her out of jail, how hard will it be to make this go away? The bond is $20,000, which I'm sure he can write a check for if he feels like it. That puts her at home (if he wants her there). He gets his lawyer on the case, and there's a dental issue of between $1,500 and $20,000, and again I bet with a good lawyer they could make the crime go away if the bill gets paid. His lawyer can argue with the people in Missouri that this is all a misunderstanding and it's been taken care of. And so on.

If you have cash - and Dirk has tons of it (he gets paid $300,000+ a week every week of the year) - this is an inconvenience not a tragedy. It's like a traffic ticket for running a red light for me and you.

If he wants it to vanish, as I see it the most drama in this deal will be on discussion boards.

nice that someone with some intelligence finally posts +1

If only #4 had happened right after #1. Actually, if only #4 had happened before #1.

If only, if only, if only.

I'm still finding this hard to believe.

sefant77 · 05-07-2009, 06:08 PM

What pisses me off, even IF the girl didnt try to scam him and it was true love, she had over a year to be honest and confess all her past to Dirk and fix it with a kickass lawyer that Dirk would have paid if they really love each other.

Instead she was probably too scared going back to her old trashy live and took the big diamond ring and produced all that shit right now during the most important part of the season

I think it's probably something like this, although 7 and 9 aren't exactly correct.

mary · 05-07-2009, 06:20 PM

If there's a child involved, I honestly don't think you can compare this situation to "running a red light."

Seriously.

sefant77 · 05-07-2009, 06:23 PM

Makes sense too that Holger Geschwindner is in the USA right now. They showed him the first time during game 2. Or is he allready longer there? During the end of the season they showed his dad at 1-2 games.

Maybe Dirk knew it will become ugly these days and asked Holger to come.

stoble · 05-07-2009, 06:31 PM

BTW, what is the deal with Galloway and the "lizard" stuff? I remember him talking about "topless lizards" in regards to PacMan and now referring to this woman as a "road lizard", but what does he mean by lizard?

Groupie, or is there something else in the term?

I don't think I can do it. Galloway cracks me up too much.

Hansen is 100% condescension, I can't stand him. It's like he HATES every Dallas team and yet has a job in Dallas, I don't get it.

vinylstar · 05-07-2009, 07:22 PM

I hope Dirk is nothing like me - fairly introverted. If this or something comparable happened to me, my tendency to retract into myself and let less people into my life would only be strongly reinforced. It would be horrible!

I just hope The Diggler gets through this OK. Seems like a legit dude.

4) She has reportedly come up pregnant

Plenty of other things are rumored, but little is 'Officially' reported.

So is this a bigger distraction than Jessica to Tony?

What intrigue...

From what I've heard so far, that is the case here.

Mavs warned Dirk about Taylor

Members of the Mavericks organization cautioned Dirk Nowitzki about his relationship with Cristal Taylor and that he had suspicions about her long before her arrest on Wednesday, according to sources from the club.

Two local TV stations, KTVT and WFAA, cited unidentified sources in reporting Thursday that Taylor is engaged to Nowitzki and pregnant with his child.

"I'm not commenting on that," Nowitzki said, when asked about the reports.

Murphy3 · 05-07-2009, 07:42 PM

Some of you are insensitive bastards. The guy is obviously going through a horrible time in his life, and you jackasses pull this shit.

Big Shot Rob · 05-07-2009, 07:43 PM

I really think Dirk is the victim of circumstances and certainly isn't the first guy who fell in love with a woman that he really didn't know too well. Heck--go into just about any divorce court and you'll see what I mean.

I just wonder why this had to happen right now and not in June after the Mavs win the NBA title?

If Dirk didn't know the authorities were going to be informed of her presence in his home, and the PI did not tip them off, then who did? Who else would have the motive to do this to Dirk and his girlfriend?

Maybe Dirk's coach if Dirk confided to him.

One thing I do agree with--these charges can be settled with cash. Pay restitution in full in a lump sum and most victims will agree to drop the charges in theft of service, forgery, etc. Not all of course. Some will want their pound of flesh.

Maybe Dirk found out about her background--confronted her--and she refused to leave. At this point, maybe Dirk gave the permission to turn her in when he is out of town.

Again--if this was done deliberately--why the hell now?!

You are "lacking authenticity" or "not genuine" or "false" about the pregnancy claim?

Perhaps you meant "dubious." Or perhaps you meant the pregnancy claim is spurious. You are not spurious.

I'm going to go back to my community college now.

Murphy3 · 05-07-2009, 08:19 PM

Perhaps the pregnancy claim is just the whores way of trying to get Dirk to bail her out. You've got to feel for the guy though..

I really hope you're right and that's what it is. It would be sad if Dirk ends up fathering a kid in a relationship that turned out like this one.
