I miss Dirk. The greatest Maverick ever and one of the greatest players of all time.
Yeah it’s weird, cause like let’s say hypothetically, Luka wins Dallas some chips or 2 mvps or breaks some Mavericks record... he’d still be regarded as the 2nd greatest Maverick cause of Dirks huge insurmountable legacy. Maybe the thought process will change in let’s say 60 years. But I feel the consensus for the next 30 years (long after Luka retires) will still have Dirk as the greatest Maverick of all time.
@@jonathanriojas2177 plenty of youngins will be singing luka over dirk all day
yea
@@jonathanriojas2177 I do think that Luka has a chance to surpass Dirk. I think Luka has a chance to be somewhere in the top five players of all time.
@@jonathanriojas2177 if Luka continues on this trajectory he will overshadow many players, including Dirk.
I feel like Bill loves Luka more than his entire family and maybe even the Boston Celtics.
It's because Luka reminds him so much Bird. So, for him it's like reliving his best years hahah
You're wrong. And here's why...
But he hates harden and his cheap assists?!? Like they are the most comparable player
It’s because bill loves being right on his takes.
@@Lordandmaster26 Luka has similarities with quite a few players, not just Harden.
How can you hate dirk. I love that he won that chip for Dallas.
Who hates Dirk?! :D
The city went wild after they won lol
The competition dirk faced was dsmn near unbelievable beat a young talented okc ...beat the defending Champs the lakers took out Miamis big 3 sheeshh ..that alone top 3 run ever ...dirk faced atleast 9HOF
@Late Notice means more than the 2 cheap rings KD won
yea
Honestly I just clicked on this because of Dirk. Love Luka but Dirk means more to me.
same haha, can't wait for the full podcast
Same haha
Me too
Dirk the original stretch big. The reason 7 footers shoot the 3 so much now.
I’d hope so.Luka has only played a few years p
Dallas iz really lucky to have a franchise player immediately take over Dirks place. Would've really been awesome to see Luca play with prime Dirk. Guess we'll only get to see that playing an All Dallas Mavericks Team in 2K.
Could also add the all time team in a season w the current one and just trade the Lukas w the extra stars from the all time team
Nash played w prime dirk but cuban admittedly regretted not paying up to keep him.
As a Mavs fan, I'm just praying Cuban doesn't screw it up. Cleveland and OKC lost their stars when they didn't get enough talent around them. I always try to remember that Dirk's loyalty to Dallas is exceptionally rare, and there's no reason to think Luka will keep that tradition if he eventually feels unhappy.
All I hope is Luka is a legit franchise player for us. Would hate to see him team bouncing. But in this league now, who’s to say.
@@rabd3721 u have a good point. Dallas was just lucky that dirk was loyal. But I don't think Luca would be like that so they better offer him a Max contract if they can't surround him with the right players.
Dirk is such a genuine nice dude
We Mavs fans witnessed a passing of the torch we could have never dreamed of 🐐🐐
Watch this before game 1 of the conference finals against the warriors, what bill said at 3:20 is exactly what happened in the series he luka just won against the suns, it’s crazy how spot on that was just a year too early
I miss Dirk so much!!!! Love listening to this man, hope he stays close the Mavs building... in whatever capacity.. I don't care, for rest of his life! LOVE YOU DIRK!
One of my favorite players of all time!
It seemed like yesterday when Dirk was still sporting long hair and entertaining us with his fadeaways and athleticism.
Dirk so underrated! Miss you Dirty!!
When Dirk pumped his fist when he made that layup late against the Heat in the championship knowing they just kicked their ass was great.
Remember when Dirk beat Durant, Westbrook,Harden, swept Kobe, then beat the heatles for the 🏆
*Year 2060*
- Hey grandpa, how Mavericks won their first title?
- Sit down, son. Let me tell you a legendary story...
10 years ago …time runs so fast
He was moving like Leonidis that year
Bruh durant, Westbrook and harden weren't in his prime.
Dirk essentially climbed Everest and immediately ran a full ironman.
I miss the days of Dirk and Steve Nash!THAT was an AMAZING team!!!
It’s crazy how one playoff run completely changed the way we view dirks career. If he didn’t win in 2011, especially the way he won, I think we would view him as a good regular season guy, who wasn’t “tough enough” to win a ring.
Maybe to casuals like you. He would have been a top 5 PF ever regardless.
That's pretty weird considering Dirk only had two bad playoff series in his entire career and he was in a lot of series. I dont think there's a single player in the HOF who didn't have at least a couple of bad playoff series. The truth is that Dirk was one of the very top playoff performers of his era overall.
That championship definitely changed the way he's viewed as it should. However, I definitely would have had the utmost respect for him still even if he hadn't won in a similar way to how I view Steve Nash as an absolute legend despite not winning. Dirk was unstoppable.
Lets all be honest he should have 2 rings. That 2006 finals was rigged af
That chip legitimized Dirk. He would have been a top 10 - 15 power forward of all time, but that ring put him into the top 5 IMO. 100% agree with the “tough enough” view, his run in 2011 validated his whole career, without it he would have been painted in a completely different light.
hes losing his dallas accent and slowly reverting back to his og german accent
I feel it too after i got back to my hometown after UNI
I’ve always loved that Dirk sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger 😂
Both speak german as a first language.
Fun fact: Arnold birth place is much closer to the Lukas one (80 miles) then to the Dirk one.
@@altergreenhorn Fun fact: I used to watch his father play basketball against our team. "Slovenian Premier League"
@@BlazVeber69 wait his dad played Handball
They sound nothing alike to me but whatever lol
@@altergreenhorn Was Lukas father also a 6'7 small forward?
My goat 🐐
Much love, Dirk! - from Dallas. Hopefully, we can win enough to keep Luka around and challenge your 20-year record.
Gott zu Gast bei Bill Simmons. Endlich!
GO MAVS!!
He hit the free throws???? 😲😲😲 That's the shocking part
fr :D
Hahaha good one 😎
Lol only people who watch Luka knows he's terrible at free throws
@@dylanbrown4901 73% isnt terrible... If he is terrible, what can be said about Lebron, Giannis...
@@DGismeraESP 73% is terrible lmao. The other two are just worse at free throws, especially Giannis since he actually can't shoot.
Captain Dirk ... my favorite Baller forever
God Bless Dirk, loved the Mavs Heat Rivalry
It isn't much of a rivalry if the teams only matched up once in the postseason and one of the teams completely embarrassed the other
@@shawna4309 once 🧢
@@shawna4309 I literally feel old reading those misinformed comments sometimes. Look up the 06 finals, will ya?
@@shawna4309 L
@@a.e.a. you're actually counting '06? That's a bit of a reach to add '06 into it to make it a "rivalry". That's a whole 5 year window. Half a decade. Lol what players were on the '06 Heat/Mavs teams that were there for the second match-up in '11? D Wade, Haslem, Nowitzki, Terry. There may be a few more but not a lot. Completely different teams when they matched up a whole 5 years later. I wouldn't call that a rivalry in the least.
2:25 there’s a highlight tape where bird takes like 8-9 consecutive midrange jumpers from the right baseline against the hawks. Dude just walked to the spot, middy, bang. Nothing they could do. He was a problem
Dirk is so underrated!!!!!
Feel like Dirk didn’t get his just due. This boy is one of the best EVER. Period. The one leg fadeaway can be called “THE DIRK.”
Great to see Dirk again. Man, I wish he was still on his Prime years. Trust me, he's going to smoke all of these young bigs here specially with that painted area so wide open now. Just a pump fake and he will give you a lefty just like what he did to Chris Bosh. lol
Not to mention how he destroyed Ibaka back in ‘11 playoffs I think that was.
Man imagine 2011 Dirk with Luka right now. That shit would be unstoppable.
Luka so lucky he got his moments with Dirk and Kobe,
How can you not love Dirk
Gotta love Dirk! All time great 👍🏿
In skills and size, Doncic has the profile of a near-perfect NBA offensive player -- and perfection might just be a few percentage points of long-range accuracy away. With a 6-foot-7 frame, the vision of an owl and a magician's sleight of hand, Doncic can demoralize a defense any which way from any spot on the floor. But there are a few specific decisions that can improve an opponent's chance of survival.
This was needed! Shout out to dirk
This was amazing ...
Dirk is the greatest Maverick of all time ‼️‼️‼️‼️
I’ve been through the ringer but they can do little to the middle finger. I think I got a tear in my eye; I feel like the king of my world. Haters can make like bees with no stingers and drop dead.
Okay eminem
man I love dirk
I need that full video asap
Legend
Dirk the legend!!
We miss you Dirk.😓
I am only watching this because of the legend that is Dirk Nowitzki. F BS. Want to be very clear. I couldn’t think less of Bill Simmons and his work. I get the game though. But I appreciate Dirk.
Since Dirk left the Mavs, there's been a gap in the roster for who is going to be the next star and Luka is just the perfect fit, he really makes the Mavs just like Dirk made them before. I don't think Trae would have made the same impact, no disrespect whatsoever, but Trae needed a team like the Hawks where they can develop a little more while Luka is just ready for a franchise like the Mavs. *ALSO! Luka is from Europe like Dirk is and I can see that being a tradition for the Mavs:)
How do you watch entire podcasts on videos?
Dirk ❤️❤️❤️
Luka and Dirk playing together woulda been a sight to see
Bill Simmons...watch your tone with our King.
I have never heard dirk talk! I love his German accent!
Dirk seems like such a cool dude
I was wanting to hear what Dirk thinks of Luka in 2021 and I got my answer.
I mean i said before the draft he was the best player of that class, even though he wasn’t gonna go first because the suns and kings needed a big. When you see a guy dominating grown men who play basketball for a living in the second best league in the world you know he is the real deal
This is sports journalism gold unicorn poop. 🙏🏾
🐐🐐🐐
Dirk
Where’s the full interview?
Dirk the beast
You guys called it truly amazing how dirk saw this in him but then again he is a legend and real recognize real.
Dirk!!!!
Can y’all imagine how nasty & nightmarish a Luka/Dirk PnR combo would be? 😰
This is aging like fine wine🍷
Agreed his shifty is special
🐐
after todays game (game 3 1st round) im surprised he hit those fts 😳
Dirk out here lookin like Haywire from Prison Break!!! 😂 Miss watchin u hoop greatest Maverick o.a.t.!
aw hellz naw, a Prison Break reference?
Why does he sounds like my favorite Governor?
Cuz they are both from Germany?
@@xXSprMgaAwsmFxyHtXx Arnold is Austrian, but Austrians also speak German.
Dirk is from the South of Germany. The dialects there are closer to Austrian German than they are to the German in the north of Germany. All those dialects are sort of influenced by the surrounding countries. South: Austrian, Czech. West: France. North: Denmark... The same in the other direction. Dutch is understandable for a german when spoken. Near the borders you have some sort of culture and language mixtures.
There is a high German, you usually talk during business and use it for everything written and a couple hundreds of dialects based on a main dialect like the bavarians/Austrians.
Both, obviously, German. Arnold being from Austria with an Austrian dialect that sounds similar to a the dialect in the neighboring Southern part of Germany where Munich is the capital of the state of Bavaria. Dirk on the other hands hails from the Northern part of the German state of Bavariav where they speak a different dialect. But most just think it sounds similar.
Can you start a second channel where you just upload the full video podcasts 95% uncut? Slap 100 midrolls on those bad boys idc I just want video for full podcasts
Fucking love Dirk man
If it wasn't for Dirk you would not see the same Durant or Jokic, he changed the NBA
Dirk the myth, the legend. Dallas Mavericks bastketball god.
Wow Dirk is back
Halleluka indeed 🥰❤
Imagine them playing together in dirks prime
And hiss kicking their ass right now😂
Here after he’s been beating up on two of the best defensive players in the league
@@stanvanillo9831 PG and Kawhi
Maverick 🐐
Dirk: "Yeah I gave him a little trash talk"
(Dirk speaking to Luka in a foreign language)
Cuban to translater: What did Dirk just say?
Translater: He said Germany has a better futbol team, sir.
Whats futbol?
@@thoughtrover6400 Football/soccer in German
@@silewis9396 its called fußball in german.
Dirk hat recht.
Where’s the full pod?
It's at the end of his recent one with Joe House, no idea why he hid it there
Crazy, everything they said about the clippers came true yesterday lol
Luka is so far ahead of Dirk 1st 3 years, it's not close
Dirk take Luka to they gym and show him how to make Free Throws. Bc he's missing them like crazy.
The whole team was missing free-throws . If they can make their free-throws they will sweep the clippers.
Thank you dirk is my father
He's good, but can he take out Durant and Lebron in one playoff series like Dirk did?
Once he reaches his prime I could see him doing something like that, yeah.
and kobe!!
Maybe not but he can definitely get PG and Kawhi lol
Luka to Boston confirmed!!!!!
I miss dirk
I have to know what room he's in. Is he in an empty office rental? A hallway? The laundry room? That blank wall is driving me insane!! (Also, I love Dirk so much).
Dirk is the GOAT PF, Duncan was Center .
I would put Garnett before Dirk in terms of overall career. But Dirk has the highest peak when he single-handedly beat the Heat’s big 3.
@@M0ebius Kinda shows how OP Dirk was on offense that it's even a conversation who was better between him and Garnett lol
@@M0ebius I'd never put KG over Dirk
@@M0ebius H2H matchups between Dirk and KG tilts heavily in favor of Dirk and in my mind pushes him over the top
1 on 1 Dirk would win over KG
And it’s currently Mavs 2 Clippers 0 🤗
I want to see Dirk return using a handheld mic in his next podcast appearance, reclined in customary post-game press scrum lampin posture.
How about a Mavs post-game episode with Ryen or Drunk House for some extra fun playoff vibe?
TH-cam ads are ridiculous
was this a teaser or it's over over??
the full interview is on apple podcasts rn. listened to it this morning. Don't know how long till it will be up here though
Spotify has it too!
The comp for Luka isn't Bird, it's Harden.
Dirk got the dad bod going
who's watching this after Clippers 0:2 Dallas :)
I dont know which series you watched but clippers were close to get their asses kicked
Luka iz made in sLOVEnia so you know he is top notch quality 🤪😛😜🇸🇮👍
Dirk is missed by nba fans
I will call it!! 2021 mavs will be 2011 mavs!! World champ.. they will defeat lebron(kobe in 2011) in nba west finals!! Then defeat nets big 3(miami in 2011) it will happen!!💪💪💪💪💪
Triple dirks
Dirk top 5 PF ever. Easy.
He made 2 free throws, it is not difficult to get respect from Dirk.
