My king
That’s sweet
Tin foil hat: Dirk coerced Nico to trade Luka so he can’t break his franchise records
So easy to root for Jalen man. Aside from the skill, the leadership, and the winner’s mentality he’s just such a good dude. Legend.
love the humility to eat your own words on national television
High praise from a legend
Make a mf cry man
Taylor Rooks is thirsty for some Brunson and I’m here for it

Watching that interaction 🥲
Mavs somehow fumbled 2 generational guards on their franchise within 5 years.
They straight up could have created a dynasty.
Nice words Dirk
From one GOAT to another. Love both of these guys. Legend and future legend.
Inch for inch, my goat.
Dirk is all class
JB you so tough too bro
Dirk and Brunson were teammates so he saw up close and personal Brunson’s work ethic and the product we seeing night after night that is a result of it. Also dope because he’s learned a thing or two from the big man, JB be doing the one legged fadeaway in some games.
a hofer to another futer hofer
You know Dirk is going through it right now. The Mavs are a disaster and drafted two top 10 players in the same draft and all they have to show for it is Max Christie
Taylor Rooks🥵
