I just don't see him getting 100% away from it all, it's not in his DNA... Dirk could probably work in the same capacity as Holger; show up for a bit, drop some knowledge on the young guys, then spend most of his time doing whatever the hell he wants. No need for set hours, no need to travel with the team. I'm positive he'll still be active in the community after he retires, so I'm sure he'll make some time here & there for his Mavs.

@cwmwrites: Cool thing post game: Larry Nance got Dirk’s jersey and got it signed. Says he’s framing it immediately.

He allready said Dallas will be his home base because he has his network there.
My guess is that he would pretty much disappear for a year, doing all the stuff he missed out (travel, kids) and then he is back and decides his role within the Mavs organization.
My guess is maybe shooting coach/development coach, but in a reduced role (not traveling the road games etc)

I have no doubt he will be working with the team in some sort of capacity, but doesn’t sound like it will be the year after he retires.

Not a new member, but unfortunately I can't access my old account.
Anyways, not to raise any hopes, but what Cuban actually did was reply "It certainly feels that way" to the question whether this is Dirk's last season. At least, that's how he is quoted by the German Press Agency, I have yet to listen to the podcast.

Apparently today is the 20 year anniversary of Dirk’s debut in the NBA.

Yeah, I had no idea he hadn't played the first half of his rookie season... Dirk's career kinda snuck up on us back in the days before social media.
EDIT: just realized that was a lockout year

@SportsDayDFW: Pump the brakes on all that Dirk Nowitzki-retirement chatter https://sportsday.dallasnews.com/dal...ark-cuban-says
Quote:
"Well, I said yesterday to somebody that I didn't think it would happen, and then Dirk corrected me," Cuban said with a laugh. "And so I'm not gonna get into the middle of it at all. I'll let Dirk speak for himself."
So, is he saying there's a chance we eventually get to see Nowitzki suit up alongside Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis?
"Is it possible he takes the Kevin Garnett route, where he's on the bench and encouraging guys and plays every now and then next year? I guess so, that's what he told me," Cuban said.
"So I'll leave it up to him."

With the all star nod and standing O at every away arena it seems a bit unlikely. Either way I want to see the big fella go out on his terms.

I mean, obviously he'd be a super mentor to both Doncic and KP. But I think Dirk can still be valuable off the bench as a shooter. I still hold belief that he doesn't have his legs 100% just yet and we have already seen what he can do in spurts. He's one of the best scorers of all time and possesses a few indefensible shots that don't necessarily require top notch athleticism.

You're really surprised? It's not like it's 2011. I didn't even want him to play. I want Doncic to play. If Doncic was selected last that'd definitely piss me off though.

I wasn't suprised but I hoped Lebron would select Dirk as recognization of a far greater career

At least Dirk doesn't have to play with that tool.

Much better, Dirk is on a team with Vuce and Giannis and should recruit the shit out of it

Dirk at 31,283
Wilt at 31,419
136 points to go and 29 games. That's 4.7 ppg. Dirk averaged 4.4 ppg in Jan but only 11 min per game
Do you think coach will play Dirk enough down the stretch to make it?

I think (and hope) so. He will have games where he scores 8-10 points, and I agree that once we know we are out of the playoff race he will start firing a little bit more. Rick realizes his greatness and will do everything in his power to help Dirk add to his legendary story.

Of course they will. I expect us to be out of the playoff race after the next tough 8 game stretch. I think then Dirk gets the green light and more shots.

12 points against the Heat brings the Tall Baller from the G within 109 points of Chamberlain's 31,419 on All Time Points List.
Swish is at 31,310 with 25 games to play, needs to average 5 a game.
Memo to Luka: Start feeding the old dog first. You're playing with history.
