DP drains jumpers with Dirk Nowitzki
Dan Patrick's interview with Dallas Mavericks' forward Dirk Nowitzki appears in the April 28 edition of ESPN The Magazine DP: Did you hear I bet Van Exel that I could beat Shawn Bradley in a three-point shooting contest? DN: I've got my money on Bradley. DP: I have nothing to hide, pal. I'll admit I lost to Avery Johnson. DN: You lose to The General in three-point shooting, that's pretty bad. DP: Aw, man, you just stabbed Avery in the back. DP: Did you enjoy being Time's Person of the Week in May 2002? DN: I didn't know I was. DP: Yeah, for fulfilling the promise of globalization. DN: I don't know what that means, but it's awesome. DP: Favorite cartoon character. DN: I don't watch too much TV. Do you guys have Bugs Bunny over here? DP: Uh, yeah, Dirk. DN: Well, you don't have Lucky Luke the cowboy and his horse, Jolly Jumper. DP: That's because it just sounds silly. DN: Stop it. Growing up, my idols were Lucky Luke and Jolly Jumper. And Scottie Pippen. DP: Scottie, huh? Did you have his jersey as a kid? DN: I had Cedric Ceballos' jersey. Everybody in Germany had Shaq. I wanted Van Exel or Ced. DP: I only know one other Dirk. DN: Let me guess: Dirk Diggler. DP: So you've heard that before? DN: Yeah. I never watched all of Boogie Nights. I thought it was stupid. DP: If you could invite any four people to dinner, who'd you pick? DN: Dennis Rodman, because he knows how to party. Shakira is very good. Steffi Graf, a German hero. Salma Hayek, just for the fun. DP: Do you still play the saxophone? DN: Not too much. I started to play the guitar, like, two years ago. DP: Give me the guitar player you most look up to. DN: Keith Richards. He's an old man, but he still rocks. DP: Who's the clown on the team? DN: That would be Nash for sure. DP: He's going to lose the hair soon, isn't he? DN: You see it too? I thought I was the only one! He hides it by combing the long hair to the front. It's sad. Unfortunately, short hair doesn't work so well for him, either. DP: You served a mandatory stint in the German army from '97 to '98. What was that like? DN: Basic training was hard. They didn't have a uniform in my size, so I had to run around in sweats. It was embarrassing. DP: Would you rather have Nellie yelling at you, or a sergeant? DN: Nellie, definitely. My army sergeant was two feet shorter than me. I wanted to laugh whenever he yelled at me. It was very awkward. |

Dirk is just a little kid playing like a man. Seems like the coolest person in the NBA.

He gave a similar interview on ESPN radio you can listen to it here Link
its on the 6th row. Next to that one their is a funny NVE interview which started the 3 point contest bet, if SB wins Patrick has to wear a NVE jersey on Sportscenter, also NVE cracks on Bradley a couple times. |

Isn't Lucky Luke that gay cowboy?
Dirk's interview shows he is well grounded. Yet another reason he will be successful in the long term. |

Lol ... Lucky Luke is of course an American Cowboy. But Asterix and Obelix rule, that true!

Lucky Luke and Asterix are both drawn by Frenchmen, they tend to be good at that [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Anyone here remember/know of Percy Pickwick?

Seriously....I wasn't trying to be funny...I thought that Lucky Luke was the first openly gay cartoon character. That he's french only adds fuel to my suspicion. I don't think sexuality belongs in the cartoons myself. Straight, gay or otherwise.

He hides it by combing the long hair to the front. It's sad. Unfortunately, short hair doesn't work so well for him, either. >> Hahahahahahahah. This one had me rolling. I don't know if anyone else ever notices, but late in blowout wins it always seems like both Dirk and Nash are cracking each other up on the bench. Dirk will usually hide his laugh underneath a towel. I think that both of them are probably clowns and I wouldn't be surprised if Dirk starts most of it. Anyone remember or even see one of the games Dirk had to sit out. He was in one of the courtside seats next to Cuban and a young kid that had popcorn in his lap. He reached around the behind the kid and tapped him on his outside shoulder. When the kid looked the other direction he quickly nabbed some of his popcorn. It gave that kid the laugh of his life once he found out that Dirk tricked him and stole some of his popcorn. It was a simple trick all of us have probably had played on us before, especially as a child. That one had me laughing also.

We really do have a likeable bunch of players. Dirk is hilarious, that interview is great. Van Exel has been great since he came over too, you should all listen to his interview with Dan Patrick:
DP: I'm going to make Shawn Bradley cry. NVE: You're going to make Bradley cry?? Opponents make him cry every night. Hahahahahahaha! |

That might be funny if NVE and Bradley were on different teams. However, they are on the same team. For an inconsistent and overpaid player such as NVE to say that...that's pathetic

Holy crap. Relax Murph.
If Dirk said that you'd think it was hilarious. He made a f*cking joke and it was funny. That's all there is to it. Salary has nothing to do with it, nor does consistency. |

Murph, Bradley and Nick are extremely good friends, and have been for a while. I'll try and find the article that I read about this when Nick was traded here.

Not to mention SB probably wouldn't get the ball if not for Nick, he's one of the few players on the team that seems to look for him, his only FG tonight came off of a assist by Nick.
As for the joke even Dirk lauged at it. |
