July 9, 20188 yr I enjoyed this one, Dirk seems to be a great person. A truly driven professional sharing a relationship with a basketball genius. So much respect to the big German from Wurzburg.
July 9, 20188 yr This was a great documentary. Dirk had such a unique approach to workouts and preparation. He is a prime example of a guy who realizes what his strengths are and works on them and doesn't try to play a style that didn't fit him. I feel like more players should do the same. However, it never hurts being a 7 footer with the ability to shoot like he can. He really learned how to use his height and become extremely crafty to make up for his lack of foot speed and athleticism. The Mavs also did a great job letting him develop. He was thrown into the fire and struggled a little at first but they were patient with him and let the game come to him over time.
