When Larry Bird shows up to thank you for your contribution to the NBA you've had a damn good career.

Barkley tells that same story every time that he's around Dirk. The funny thing about it is that Barkley changes the number of points that Dirk scored. The last time Barkley told it he said Dirk scored 52 points, but Dirk only scored 42 points this time. Lol Gotta love the Chuckster.

Respect to dirk, he never tried to form a super team, went through the ups and downs, didn’t ring chase towards the end of his career. He was a competitor a great teammate, a winner, and a real champion. Dirks one ring means more than most of these fake rings players are getting now days.

10 years ago, when my hero Lebron join force Wade in Miami, they laughed at Dirk, and ended up Lebron chokes, Wade play well in the first 5 game and get cold in game 6. I was heartbroken at that time. However, this gave me the most respect to Dirk. These 6 games in finals was truely epic at that time and I never forget how he always can wake up on 4th quarter and shedded the front court defense. As a Lebron fan, I want to say thank you Dirk to have such a legendary career, your 2011 was very touching to me, and also thank you to teach Lebron how to be a tougher player
