NEW YORK –- When Dirk Nowitzki returned to Dallas after a four-game road trip, the Dallas Mavericks' star was hoping to see his newest possession waiting for him –- his now famous potato.
“I have never received a potato,” Nowitzki said in his first comments about the strangest thing he has ever received in the mail after Dallas beat Brooklyn on Sunday. “It is something fun, hopefully it is there when I get home. I haven’t seen it yet, we were on the road [when it was sent], usually fan mail comes to our office so I have only seen pictures.
