You did through screen image. 😜

hello monkey12 such giants of the game leaving within a few years of each other. I love this trend of farewell tours. We get a whole year to show them our love and appreciation for how hard they played and gave us so many lifelong memories. We love you Dirk!!!!

Is true is sad to see a career come to a end but there lives out of sports will be a new journey in their life

Grandpa Carter is not yet retiring.

he could have made something out of himself

I don't even have to look it up. I'm positive your statement is based on facts.

hhhmmm thats a good question...i slightly remember him once kicking a Gatorade containor over but i thinkthat was outtta anger of the game

@@agthaog1986 i see, stil Dirk is such a nice player, he is not like other nba player who love to trash talk

@@christianmanalo3179 oh yea no question. He was the def of cool 😎

Never forget that he was also an unrestricted free agent the same year Wade, James, and Bosh all teamed up in Miami.

Houston offered him a huuuge money contract not long ago. But declined and stayed in Dallas while being paid a lot less. While I would've loved to see him here, I respected the man even more for his loyalty to the team/city.

Lol nah. Everyone's known what the Mavs had in Dirk. And no one appreciated it more than the city of Dallas. They love that guy to death, and for good reason.

I don't think no one forced him to retire, but everyone knew it was time. People love Dirk so much in the NBA and here in Dallas that we wanted to do a goodbye tour similar to Kobe's because he is a all time great himself. We would have hated it for him to not receive anything this season and him making a decision in the summer to retire without a proper send off like Duncan . His body was done at the end of the last season, he pushed himself for another run and even if he might want to next season was impossible for him. He didn't announce anything before because this is life for him, he came in at 18 and played for 21 years more than half his life

@@hectorgaytan2424 The only person who knew about the retirement is Dirk. NBA gave them (Wade & Dirk) spot on the All Star roster because Wade told about the retirement. But Dirk didn't mention about retirement until the last game. People assumed because he played 21 years. Vince Carter played the same years and no one think he is retiring. How come they never thought of Vince? (cu'z he wasn't special enough?). I just thought it's wrong.. if they want to give him a Kobe or Wade treatment, then they should've let him announce it first. I think he retire from NBA because he doesn't want to let people down.

hayzz its just its his time to retire he already achieved what the fans want 🏆

@@russrod1222 probably cause Vince is still doing fine and dunking on people here and there, but Dirk is struggling on the court you can see that
