I remember being so proud of Dirk. I felt like Dirk had been overlooked and disrespected for so long and he was finally getting the credit and recognition he deserved.
He was cordial, polite and respectful as always but you could tell he wasn’t happy. I feel like moments like that made the 2011 title so much more meaningful and significant. I’m glad Dirk can appreciate the incredible season he had now that the sting of the loss isn’t as sharp.
Luka will have this exact convo later in his career

Those glory years with Dirk sure were beautiful
It’s nice to see an actual player care about his team and the city and it’s success. Most players today seem like they could care less about winning and or bringing in a championship they just get paid and hop teams.
Love ya Dirk!
I remember being proud and heart breaking for him. He truly deserved the award considering the playoff exit that year
A true Living Legend
So humble. Dirk is my personal hero as a European growing up in the US. The GOAT!
