You say goodbye and I say hello.
Hello, hello.
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello.

BOSTON -- When Dirk Nowitzki and Luka Doncic step on the court Friday night against the Celtics, they will be heading in opposite directions.
For Nowitzki, it'll probably be the last time he sets foot on the parquet floor he has loved for so many seasons, trading jumpers with the great ghosts of the old Boston Garden like the man he's been compared to so many times, Larry Bird.
For Doncic, it'll be an introduction to a new level of basketball history.
