Quote of the Week

“He walks like a 30-year-old pro. Super smart. Super great passer. Super great decision-maker off a pick-and-roll. He has been fun to watch. I didn’t know he was as good as a shooter as he is. It feels like every 3 is going in.” -Dirk Nowitzki on Luka Doncic

In the second quarter of the game vs. Oklahoma City on Saturday night, Dirk Nowitzki joined the Fox Sports Southwest crew for a handful of minutes. While he talked about his injury recovery and the team, he also took time to talk about Luka Doncic’s early impressions in Dallas. This was just a small tidbit of his comments on Doncic.

Moment of the Week

In the second year of the Nike City Edition jerseys, the Dallas Mavericks unveiled their 2018-19 City jerseys in style. On Thursday night, the Mavs hosted an exclusive launch party in Deep Ellum where numerous musicians took the stage. As the surprise headliner of the night, Big Sean took the stage for an epic performance in the new city edition Mavericks jersey.

Must Read

Dirk Nowitzki Q&A with Marc Stein

“Dirk: It’s hard not being out there. It’s what I love. It’s what I’ve always done. Throughout my entire career, I always tried to play all 82, no matter if I’m sick or I rolled my ankle or whatever. I was only able to pull it off a couple of times in my career, but it was a pride thing. So for me, any time I had to sit out, it never feels right. And it’s the same now, especially because it’s been a rough start for us. You’re in a suit and you’re not as involved as you want to be. Hopefully once I’m over this tendon thing then I won’t look back again for the rest of the season.”
