The Mavericks home game on Tuesday night against the Lakers will always be remembered as the night that Dirk Nowitzki joined the prestigious 30,000 point club. Nowitzki is just the 6th player in the NBA history to reach the milestone.
After the game, Nowitzki left the court to a celebrating crowd as he greeted fans heading to the locker room. Then it was time for post game press conferences.
Rick Carlisle went first where he delivered a heartfelt speech on the legacy of Nowitzki and then it was Dirk’s turn to take the podium.
Nowitzki answered numerous questions about the millstone and special night, but one question was centered around how long he would celebrate the milestone.
