If you don’t like Dirk, something is wrong with you
-
As a German I can translate for you 16:39 : "What you have done for me, I will never forget for the rest of my life. If I become a half as good father like you were as parents for me, than I am happy"
-
Love you Dirk. Thank you for your humble nature, hard work, and sense of humor.
-
“When you’re green, you grow, when your ripe, you rot” What a line!!!!
-
have waited over 20 years for this speech. There are only a few who have been given this honor. Dirk stands for the basic elements of basketball. Humanity, loyalty, diligence and a bad singer.

As dallas resident and a big mavericks fan I enjoyed watching Dirk! That championship run was historic. He accomplished so much. Same team his entire NBA career. He never gave up, never turned his back on his team and we ABSOLUTELY LOVE him in Dallas! Congrats Dirk! Well deserved 💯

That 2011 run was one for the ages
-
How can you not love this guy. Dirk is a fucking legend! And what an amazing speech to manifest his legacy. I had tears in my eyes the entire speech, but flat out cried when he switched to German to talk to his parents. Danke, Dirk!
-
One of the best hof speeches I’ve heard in any sport
-
I will never forget Dirk coming to the arena listening to some soul music getting out with a foil plate. That's when I knew he was iconic. This was an amazing man to ever meet
-
What a humble person! I'm so glad that he recognized Jason Kidd and what he really meant to that 2011 team! Dirk is just an incredible guy! Nothing in sports could ever match 2011 for me!!! ❤
-
I actually have tears in my eyes. One of the best. most humble guys in sports. Dirkules!!!!!!!!
-
Dirk's legendary championship run and the 7:1 against Brazil - the two things every good German is obligated to re-watch at least once a year.
-
Grew up hating him cause he was so good against the spurs, but I was fortunate enough to watch his very last game of his career against the spurs. Every spurs fan was on their feet cheering him on , it was really a special moment to be apart of.
-
Dirk ist die Definition eines Vorbilds! Vielen Dank für all die Jahre…🥹❤️41

Praise to Shawn Marion. In that 2011 run, he guarded Kobe, Durant, then Lebron in rounds 2, 3, and the finals. We won't count Brandon Roy since he came off the bench.
-
How many memories, blessed of being a basketball fan in his era. Amazing human, incredible player.
-
This dude went to the finals in his eight year, he lost. He was the league MVP in year 9, they got swept in the first round. He stayed until finally in year 13, he won his chip. Not many players have that patience. That's real loyalty to the franchise. Not asking for a trade after signing a supermax because you already "gave your all" to the franchise like some players these days claim.
-
That 2011 run was magical. Dirk was a superhero. Will always have more respect and admiration.
