Funny to hear Dirk talk about how much the game has changed, considering how much he himself contributed to that change.
The NBA has unfortunately changed for the worse in the past two decades
Game changer
Facts!! Him and lebron
But he went through the gulag before it started getting soft
@@antarahibnshaddad7725 I’m not hating but LeBron didn’t change the way the game is played he played well dirk made it ok for bigs to shoot game changer
dirk literally makes me smile. one of my favorite players of all time
The OG “stretch four”
I agree. Fun to watch!!!
same. one of the best OAT as well 💯
I agree. Competitive but true gentleman of the game.
My Goat from Dallas
“It is we” for real, you can’t talk about the Mavs without mentioning Dirk, the GOAT of Dallas basketball 💪
He is not wrong to say "we" if i'm not mistaken he is still involved as a front office consultant.
He has the right to say we, 21 years there.
He is Mr Maverick
Damn, I love seeing Dirk again. One of the most likeable players the entire time he played.
Add to the fact that he spoke little English when he arrived in Dallas, now he’s a broadcaster!!
Ill take him over of trashy harden, léonard and george
He was on EPSTEINS list
@@champ3408a broadcaster on scripted entertainment television what an accomplishment
@@champ3408it is very unlikely that he wasn’t speaking fluent English when he arrived. Usually us Germans are fluent in english by a very young age because we learn it in school here. Just as a side note.
Kyrie in the suit is slick af
he standing on business! he got his CEO fit on
I knew it was over when i saw em a suit lol
@@jjpark1989more like a TV priest
@@peachydls341 get off your Semitic high horse the man never did or say anything wrong
@@pratikptl06That's actually a men in black suit
Dirk is such a class act. Humble and what an athlete. As a Mavs fan I feel very blessed to have watched him all the years he was here.
Amen! We were blessed indeed!
Paul George making excuses he just ready to get back on his podcast 😂😂
Him and Patrick Beverley 😂
He's such a joke. "it's hard" yea no crap. Last game it was you fail and live with the results. Plus he disappeared again in the big moments. This man couldn't care less about winning
@@bmon85ifyIt’s a joke he ever even wore #24 at one point.
His podcast is nothing but him bragging about himself. I turned it off cuz it was self serving
U sound just like sas look like his twin
Great to see Dirk on TV. He looks good, he should consider being an analyst for TNT
This is probably his and TNTs test run. Dirk seems comfortable in the seat so I bet we'll see more of him
Add him - retire Kenny
Nah he works for/with the mavs.
Dirks a Mavs guy for life!!!
TNT is about to lose the rights so I unfortunately I doubt it.
Dirk played in the most dominant PF era and excelled. Duncan, KG, Webber, Rasheed Wallace, Jermaine O Neal, Shareef Abdur Raheem, etc...
Pau gasol , Chris Bosh, Lamarcus Aldridge, Amare Stoudamire, David west, David Lee, Carlos boozer, Serge Ibaka, Rashard Lewis, Elton Brand, Blake Griffin, Antoine Walker & Jamison, KMart, Lamar Odom, Kevin Love, Josh smith
With the exception of a few guys, Dirk , Duncan, and kg faced all these dudes in their prime. Craziest PF era of all time , Even dudes like scola, nene, Paul milsap could bust ur ass any given night in the late 2000’s
Pau Gasol
damn what an era man
@@DrChim24 100%
Love to see dirk there he’s a solid fill in instead of the 🗑️ they try to replace him with typically
damn y'all don't like shaq?
@@lovekeegohe's not talking about shaq lol hes saying whenever shaq is out the person replacing him usually sucks
I think they meant that Dirk's a better fill in than whoever they normally find if Shaq isn't available @@lovekeego
@@lovekeego think he means the people who typically replace Shaq. They're not the worst but guys like Shaq and Dirk have auras
@@lovekeegono he’s saying Dirk has been the best substitute for Shaq
Dirk is too humble. When talking about how the game changed he never says he changed it.
Cause he didnt. Gsw and Phx Suns did. Dirk just changed his position along with KG The first real stretch 4 Superstars
@@justthatguy1808 if he changed the position by definition he changed the game.
@@AndrewL31413 He didnt though he was the BEST at it or at least tied with KG. There were alot of stretch 4s but none of them were superstars avg 25+ ppg like KG and Dirk. Dirk was the best 3 point shooting stretch 4 that was a superstar.
@@justthatguy1808 you just said he changed the position yourself. That means he changed the game. How can you change how a position is played and not change the game 🤷♂️
@@AndrewL31413 I will say it again. Dirk was NOT the FIRST STRETCH FOUR. He was tied with KEVIN GARNETT for being STRETCH FOURS that SPREAD the floor who were also SUPERSTARS. DIRK was better at KG from shooting 3s. While KG was better at DEFENSE. Hence why i said its a TIE. So if you want to mention Dirk you have to mention KG too.
That gotta be the proudest Dad ever to not only have his son on, but have Chuck and Kenny crack some harmless jokes about u lol. W for father and son
I promise you Dirk, it will always be "we" when it comes to you, big man.
Kleber being out indefinitely for the Mavs is a big loss.
Maybe they can get tim hardaway jr back. that'll help a little
There getting swepth without maxi@NateN8Nayt
@@mariogray6848 lmao noooo 😂😂 You OKC fans really thought playing against CJ and Ingram is the same as playing against Luka and Kyrie 😂 You played against a Pelicans team without their best player, their 2nd best player coming from injury, and their starting SG McCollumn playing as point guard. Mavs in 6 😂
I’m pulling for Okc but, I hate too see anyone not play.
Lively II about to have a good series. LFG!
WE SEE YA DIRK!!!! Looking good behind the TNT desk
I love how dirk using "we" instead of "the mavs" and too humble to correct himself even though there is really no problem with it. Dirk is maverick forever 🥰
Dirk's takes are on point.
They are crisp and clear
Dude Dirk saying "we" was my favorite moment. Teared up
Dirk being so humble saying "I didn't mean we, I meant the Mavs." Kenny coming in with "nah, It's we!" Lmao
I’m biased as a lifelong Mavs diehard. But can anyone here tell me how someone could possibly dislike Dirk? My favorite player ever, an absolute baller, and one of the coolest/most genuine dudes around. Will never thank him enough for giving us a Title. It’s the only championship I’ve witnessed for one of my teams. I’m an OU Sooners football/Basketball fan, and a Mavs/Cowboys fan as I grew up in Dallas then moved to Oklahoma/my parents went to school there then I did too. Lifelong fans of only Dallas professional and OU college & 1 title witnessed all thanks to Dirk. What a legend. Thanks for the memories Dirk💙🤝🏼
I hate that fade away. That shot is a major reason to dislike him.
@@afroabroad lmao fair enough. I’m sure I would’ve hated him hitting that shot on my favorite team as well
Dirk is doing well. They gotta bring him back
growing up, dirk's mavs were my favorite teams post the jordan‐era... seeing him here makes me feel so old 😂
The nice thing about OKC and Dallas is that it is a close drive.
Dirk is NBA royalty, hope to see him more on any networks basketball panel
Dirk would have killed if he was playing
Dirk one leg jumpshot will always be legendary
With Kleber being out for the rest of the playoffs, the Thunder caught a big break.... He's not a star or anything but he's a big contributor off the bench and can spread the floor hitting the 3 @ 6'10. He's also a very good defender; but he needs to be more careful how to attacks the basket.. He almost broke his damn neck a couple of yrs ago going for an alley-oop when he was landed on his neck, now this injury...
Paul George from Game of Zones 2019: “I will lose in the playoffs no matter where I go… but LA has a beach.”
It’s always nice to hear from dirk, legend.
OKC defense is a lot of fun to watch - but the young guys will need a lot of restraint to avoid KI & LD taking advantage of them overextending.
They'll need to do the same when defending SGA.
Facts bro, Luka and Kyrie gonna be clowning, I got Mavs in 7
@@DurellPowell ur the first to not underestimate okc
@@keeganacSGA is washed compared to Kyrie
@@randomhotdogman8767they’ll learn.
The dad filming on his phone next to TNT cameras is definitely the funniest part.
While they clowning him 😂
If there's no Inside NBA, forget about watching anything
we gonna boycott the NBA if NBC takes it away by the end of the season
Frfr no cap
Mavs keep defending like they have in these playoffs they can win this series and the next 2 I can’t believe what I’ve seen from them defensively
Love seeing DIRK on Here!!
TNT please open up another spot for Dirk. He is the best role model for the kids.
Replace shaq
Look at Dirk man so inspirational and so humble he even stood up greeting the young blood
Dirk, the most humble NBA player ever saying that he would have a field day in the modern day´s era is just so funny because it´s true. He would average 5+ ppg if not more since he was such a monster from long range
Inside the NBA is the best NBA talk show. 4 funny people, 4 legend.
Uncle Drew !!!!
Hope Irving stays healthy and continues his maturity as a basketball player.
Dirk accent almost came out at the end. 😂
Kyrie and Luka have figured it out and it’s great to see.
no they havent...KYRIE scoring on trahs minutes wont work against good teams. MY TURN your turn won work...
Glad to hear Dirk even say the game should continue to be played at a faster pace and stop all that damn dribbling and a step back 3….if he said this then we know it’s too much damn dribbling going on 🤣🤣🤣
honestly everytime when dirk shot that fucking beautiful rainbow jumper I never get tired of it
Dirk played in arguably the most talented PF era ever. That made him ultra self aware and humble. But he out there acting like he is not a killer in his time.
Dirk said we talking about the mavs and then corrected himself. He is the most mavs player ever playing 21 season with them. We love you and miss you dirk
Society can’t function without this show. NBA has to figure out a way to keep these guys together.
“We.” YES SIR! 21 years it’s always we with Dirk. 41/21/1
Very refreshing listening to Dirk talk basketball 🏀
Dirk bouta take someones spot
they're preparing to replace EJ, who's going to stay with Turner if ever Inside the NBA leaves TNT. there's also rumors Shaq won't join the new show if ever Inside the NBA does leave Turner. 2 spots are open. i don't really think they can recreate Inside the NBA without EJ and Shaq.
Dirk-Nash-Finley years coming back to me... Fun times.
Dirk, greatest European Player in NBA before Joker's era 😮
Key for Mavs after a little rest will be to take advantage of rust in Game 1. OKC had to sit a little too long. Can mean poor shooting to start series.
LETS GO MAVS & LETS GO DIRK 🔥🔥
Dirk is a role model for the whole NBA. Great character & charisma
Dallas have a legitimate shot. Go Mavs ive never cheer for Dallas since Dirk retired but seeing the remaining teams they have a chance damn.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate and acknowledge the shift here? All the greats of yesterday are gone and it’s a new day in the NBA
Lively vs chet 🔥🔥🔥 rookies battling in the semi conference finals 😮
Hope to see more from dirk during the playoffs.
If there is anyone on the planet who can say "we" when referencing the Mavs, it's Dirk lmao
Lifetime mav!!! Can the mavs keep luka with him knowing that he could make a dynasty in Denver
I think if mavs can get pass thunder they can do this the only team im rooting for rn but if not then anyone but denver I’ll root for Timberwolves instead
The only thing that could stop the Nuggets from repeating would be an injury to Jokic
Mavs are the underdog against OKC on game 1 but my gut is telling me to bet on them. Thoughts?
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again Dirk completely changed the game a real deal stretch 4!
It feels like only yesterday that he retired. But prime Dirk playing today would be crazy
This series is going to be entertaining
Dirk said we. Yes dirk, its still WE
Dirk is the truth!!! legend!! Forever my most favorite player to watch..that title run was SPECIAL!!!!!
Dirk can say we. Maverick for life.
Dirk the GOAT. God I hope Dallas wins this. OKC is truly great already. These western conference matchups are insane.
I've been a Mavs fan since the 80s, and I'll say that Luka was better than Dirk his rookie season. Luka is the greatest all-around Maverick in their history.
@@Physics_Dude I agree by actual basketball skill but there’s no chip yet. Nostalgia factor is at play. I was in high school in 2011 and had great time in the city when Dallas won. Dirk was our lightowers in the dark for some teenage hoopers who hated LeBron. Dirty Dirk always no. 1
Thanks for the OKC respect! Not much of it going around by Mavs fans who must have missed OKC playing the entire season. Hopefully gonna be a great series, could see it going either way but Mavs should probably be slight favorites cuz of the end of the season and the 35pt blowout they gave OKC during the season (even if suns wolves proved the regular season means nothing 😂). No Kleber hurts though!
Yall really just overruse the GOAT word jeesh
Dirk fr fr I hope he’s happy with the torch he left Luka with he’s left the kingdom in great hands 🔥✨
Alot of people don't know that Dirk is one of only 7 players to have 30K points. 1. Bron 2. Kareem 3. Malone 4. Kobe 5. MJ 6. Dirk and 7. Wilt
Dirk with Texas accent. You won’t say this guy is German with that accent.
Abbreviating Kawhi to “Whi” is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
Dirk likes to make fun of himself because he is so humble. He wouldn't have been bad defensively in if he had played in today's NBA. He was only bad when he got old. Years 3-14 he was a decent defender
i think i got it from cashnasty but we used to call dirk THA GERMAN JESUS 😂😂😂
"See you down on the Plains" LOL Chuck is the best recruiter for Auburn.
Best wish to him. Hope he make it to the League!
Dirk is the legend
Dirk can hold his own in the post. He's a good post-defender because of his length and anticipation. He's slow laterally, though which might be a problem in a "switch-heavy" scheme today. When Dirk's involved in a P n' R action, he doesn't drop. He usually shows and then recovers back to his original assignment. What's good about him though, is that he's quick to recover to his man.
Dirk is awesome. We all saw his smile when Kenny saw it. This legend would average 50 in todays league no question
Average 50? Let's not exaggerate here.
Dirk would have feasted in today's game.
First time hearing Dirk talk, Never noticed his accent. He has Texas, German , and East coast accent as vernacular
when you play 20yrs for the same franchise, you earn the right to say "we'' !!!!!
Mavericks in 6
This aged beautifully
it sucks for Clippers fans when your best player is injury prone. 💯
Those same Clippers fans were talking heavy smack after game 1. I don't feel for them at all.
Sad that this may be the last season of Inside the NBA on TNT :(
I want more of dirk !!
Dirk changed the game. There would be no Steph without him. No one ever saw a 5 shoot a 3 until I saw him take a drop pass from the point. Usually that’s a drive dunk. Dirk was the OG. Love the dude.
The mavs pretty much took the trash out. George, harden and léonard are all in the trash.
Luka was out of gas in the second half. If the Mavs play without energy the Thunder will destroy them.
Thunder won’t have energy after getting bullied
Wasnt he sick?
Sick, injured, dude is worn out. Hope he can get a little bit of a rest and recharge.
Thunder are in for a bit of a lesson in playoff basketball
@imm85-yi4zpwhat a stupid take
Chet is gonna block a ton of shots this series
Love that they brought dirk on. Please do it often
Harden wants to be traded mid-season to Magic City Luka and AD seem to have the have the same issues fundamentally, health and quick decision making. When they get to their move early and see the ball go in they are in for a big night!
Kyrie wearing a formal suit almost as unreal as his shotmaking
Hopefully Okc can put the clamps on one of the star players. Go Thunder!!!!
Playoff P talking about how people don't understand how difficult a professional sports calendar is...🙄
Man this series😩😩😩🤒
I LIKE BASKETBALL BUT LOVE FOOTBALL.. BUT I’VE WATCHED EVERY PLAYOFF GAME THIS YEAR AND MAN I TELL YOU THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING PLAYOFFS I SEEN IN YEARS!! I LIKE THE NEW BLOOD AND NOT THE SAME OLE AGING SUPER STARS .. I CAN’T WAIT TO WE PUT A WINNING TEAM AROUND WEMBY!! GEAUX SPURS GEAUX! LETS GET POP TWO MORE BEFORE HE RETIRES!!
Gonna be a fun
Luka n kyrie experience will stop okc
