The bread which you use is the bread of the hungry; the garment in your wardrobe is the garment of one who is naked; the shoes you do not wear are the shoes of the one who is barefoot; the acts of charity that you do not perform are so many injustices that you commit. - St. Basil
I still can't believe so many people believe KG was better than Dirk, despite having years of head-to-head match-ups that show KG's incredible defense literally never matter against Dirk's transcendent offense. Ever.
Nico: "My obligation is to the Dallas Mavericks, it's what's the best interest of the Dallas Mavericks, and that's the most important thing. Some of those decisions are going to be unpopular maybe to Dirk and maybe to the fans, but my obligation is to the Dallas Mavericks."
That was heartbreaking. Watching Luka get emotional only reinforces the love he had for Dallas and the reality the HE WANTED TO STAY.
A guy who will retire as one of the greatest of all-time with a decade of memories still to go...
He was our guy. We were his city.
❤️Luka❤️
@NicoHarrisonGM you can’t make that kind of trade in Dallas…we ride with our guys. 21 years of Dirk! #MFFL meant we’re with our guys for the long run. Winning only matters if you can enjoy the ride, not a cheap and quick race to the top.
I would have rather watched Luka go crazy every playoffs w shit conditioning on one leg for 15 yrs and never win a title than watch us trade him. Idc, I was invested. He’s one of the most incredible players I’ve ever watched and I was lucky enough he was on MY team. I just don’t get it.
Mavs could win the title THIS YEAR w AD and it wouldn’t mean 10% of what it would mean to win one with LD to Mavs fans. We’d keep him every fucking time. That’s what I can’t comprehend with this decision. He’s spent his entire career here. He was OUR GUY.
In a largely unprecedented financial concession to give roster flexibility to a contender, New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson has agreed on a four-year, $156.5 million extension, his agent Sam Rose of CAA tells ESPN --- $113M less guaranteed than he’s eligible to receive in one year.
