This is going to start off like an old movie line. “This one time, at band camp . . .”
But this isn’t about band camp. It has come time to trot out some personal remembrances of Dirk Nowitzki. So here are a few of my favorite moments from having covered almost all of his career – at least the last 17 years of it, plus all the retirement ceremonies.
We’ll skip over the obvious moments, like the championship and the MVP award and get to the good stuff.
There was that preseason trip to Mexico City, where Nowitzki, Steve Nash and a few others of us were having some cervezas at that little cantina across the street from the hotel.
