Steve Kerr has played against Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki.
He’s broadcast Nowitzki’s games, too.
And Kerr has game-planned for years about ways to beat the German superstar.
So what memories stand out to Kerr, the Golden State Warriors' NBA champion head coach, as Nowitzki's career continues in its 21st, and perhaps, last season?
“I wouldn’t even know where to begin,” Kerr said before the Mavericks hosted the Warriors on Sunday night. “He’s just incredible to watch. Tough to prepare for because he was so unique, and great for the game.”
The Warriors have triumphed in two of three meetings with the Mavericks this season -- the latest a 119-114 result -- and Nowitzki hasn’t had much influence.
