Dirk is a straight up legend. It's sad that his Franchise never put the right players around him. Like when I think of Tim Duncan I think of Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili alongside him. When you think of Dirk who do you think of alongside him? Michael Finley and Steve Nash? Devin Harris and Josh Howard? It's sad that Dirk even took less money a few seasons ago for them to get him some good role players and still the Mavs organization effed that up.
Now, you got the homie at age 37 (!) still having to play his ass of to try to get his team into the playoffs. I'm sorry but I think the Mavericks are a poorly run franchise. They won the title in 2011 and right away dudes blew up their team. Seems like all the management out there does is make stupid decision after stupid decision.
I could be wrong about this as I'm just on the outside looking in, but I honestly think Dirk would have multiple rings if his Front Office wasn't so incompetent.
