SouthernSportsFan Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 "We're back baby,'' Nowitzki yelled in the locker room before the game against Minnesota. "Kentucky is back on the map.'' Kentucky, of course, was where Nowitzki was going to attend college had he not bypassed college to go straight from Germany to the NBA. Dirk: We're back baby!
BaseballIsLife Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 I didn't know that Nowitzki would've attended UK if not for the NBA! Thats great! Good post SSF.
BaseballIsLife Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Dirk is on my fantasy team too for our yahoo BGP NBA Fantasy League and he is one of my best players. Glad to know he is on my team!
LCPATS Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 This is the funniest quote from the article listed above... Of course, the best line came from a Maverick who shall remain unnamed, who said: "Dirk was only at Kentucky long enough to pick up the envelope with the payment inside.''
TubbyCAT Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Dirk was a done deal to UK while Tubby was helping with the Olympic teams! Tubby got very close to Dirk and his parents. When Dirk learned he would be such a high draft pick he chose to go pro. Tony Parker was also gonna come and play for Tubby for one season, but he went straight pro, obviously!
DragonFire Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Never had any idea he had thought about UK at all. Weird.
inthesuite Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 I had no idea of this either, pretty interesting.
halfback20 Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 I never heard that about Parker or Dirk. Wish both would have came.
RockPride Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 We're back? I bet he couldn't pick us out on a map.
BaseballIsLife Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 We're back? I bet he couldn't pick us out on a map. I'd take that bet.:clap:

I had heard that about Dirk but not about Parker. Glad to see he is a Cats fan too!
BigSpikes Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 I had heard that about Dirk but not about Parker. Glad to see he is a Cats fan too! I've heard about Dirk, but like you, I hadn't heard about Parker. I heard that Kobe really liked UK and Pitino and that we were on his short list as well.
