Hilarious Story
I'm thankful Dirk is ok and no damage was done, but Dirk's repsponse was hilarious.
Nowitzki OK after teammate slams fingers in cab
By EDDIE SEFKO / The Dallas Morning News
MIAMI – You'd think the toughest thing about being a young, unproven player in the NBA would be waiting for your next minute of playing time.
But not damaging the team's superstar probably rates above that.
Dan Dickau had the scare of his professional life when he went to South Beach for dinner with Dirk Nowitzki on Wednesday. The pair hopped in a cab and Dickau asked Nowitzki what seat he wanted for the most legroom.
Nowitzki took the back seat. Then Dickau shut the car door on Nowitzki's fingers. Worst of all, it was his shooting hand.
"I looked at the door and two of Dirk's fingers were hanging out," Dickau said. "That could have been the most expensive cab ride of my life."
As it turned out, there was no damage done, other than a bruise at mid-knuckle. Nowitzki was calm when the accident happened.
"I said, "Dude, open the door. My fingers are in there,' " Nowitzki said.
Dickau, who was activated before Thursday's game against the Miami Heat when Michael Finley took his place on the injured list, was thankful there wasn't serious damage done to Nowitzki's fingers.
When the story circulated in the locker room and everybody was told there was no harm done, Dickau knew he was going to get razzed.
"That could have been an end-of-career cab ride for Dan," Shawn Bradley said. "That would have been his shortest stay on the active roster ever."
Daniels gets the nod:
Marquis Daniels was inserted in the starting lineup in place of Finley, who returned to Dallas with his sprained right ankle.
Daniels started 15 times as a rookie last season and was scheduled to be the starter at shooting guard this year.

It's [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] if Dirk really would've got hurt over this but hell if he is going to put together a game like tonight together than smash away before every game.

This had me laughing to tears. I can just see Dirk saying that. How many Mavs teammates is it now that have hurt Dirk? Isn't Dickau #3 or 4? Atleast it wasn't during practice this time.

That's what Dirk claims he said. What did he REALLY say? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

RE:Hilarious Story
I slammed a car door once with my mother's hand getting stuck in... I was 6 years old...
let's refer to him as Dan 'Dickhead' from now on [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

RE:Hilarious Story
If somebody's going to injure Nowitzki, it should at least be Finley, or Stackhouse, or someone who has any kind of value to this team.

I once slammed the door on my ex-wife's hand (she was current wife at the time) by accident.
Really. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Replace "by accident" with "repeatedly" and you know what really happened. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

RE:Hilarious Story
Pretty funny story...that would have been Dickau's head.
"I said, "Dude, open the door. My fingers are in there,' " Nowitzki said.
