Mavs.com just dug up a gem from the archives -- a Q&A with Dirk Nowitzki shortly after he was taken with Dallas' first-round pick in the 1998 NBA Draft.
The story, which originally ran in XXL, opens with a pickup argument between two NBA players about whether Nowitzki would ever be a "great" player. It's hard to picture Dirk as just another foreign gamble, albeit a 7-footer with a silky shot.
