After participating in his first full practice of the season, Dirk Nowitzki was feeling economical. The rest of his teammates and coaches walked in waves from the practice facility to the Mavericks’ business offices, literally next door, for a team function. Nowitzki pulls up in his SUV, having driven over instead. “No extra steps!” he shouts on his way in, having saved himself a walk of maybe 50 feet from door to door.
Challenge his methods if you will, but there’s only so much one can say to a man who has played in 92% of his team’s games over 20 years.
