    when Larry legend shows up. you made it
  • @BeatsbyBlanch
    Damn. 62 yrs old and you can still hear a bit of that Larry Bird trash talk.
  • When a living legend like Larry Bird leaves his home to travel to Dallas, and then give a speech at someone else's farewell tribute, that means a lot to the great player that Dirk Nowitzky was in the NBA.
  • @Matthew-rc1xt
    Larry just showing up is the highest level of respect one can receive
  • @286mic
    Dirk had one of the greatest playoff runs ever in 2011. And Larry bird came out for him, he hates doing this stuff. So much respect.
  • @user-vb2bt9kh1p
    When Bird,Pippen and Barkely are in your presence You know you are a legend
  • The fact that 3 Hall of Famers came to pay tribute when he retired speaks volumes for the man..great players
  • Afterwards Larry hit a three in Dirk’s face and said that was your retirement present.
  • 'You played the game the right way' coming from Scottie Pippen that's a major compliment
  • @VeinySausage
    Mavs fans showing Larry the respect he deserves…what an emotional moment
  • @vee1766
    I don't think Americans can truly realize how completly surreal it must be for Nowizki. For a German, white kid, from a mid size town growing up in the 90s it wasn't even in the realm of dreams to become a superstar in the NBA one day. For young Nowizki these guys were like mythological heroes, a completely unatainable thing.

    Yow we can rarely see larry bird come to a retirement speech Dirk is really something else!!
  • @daschwah
    Pips stopped aging somewhere around 2002.
  • @tomsevcik1792
    That speech by Charles was so great. He showed him respect where respect is due
  • @gustavotriqui
    "Leave the game better than you found it" Awesome quote. And absolutely true about Dirk. The game is better because Dirk existed.
  • @sen1402
    I cant believe larry bird came here lol just goes to show how much people loves dirk
  • @Nfnf889
    Scottie looking like he can still drop 20 a night easily
  • Larry coming in, giving a tribute to Dirk and delivering his brand of comedy is simply the best!
