Congratulations to Dirk, Chris Kaman and Team Germany.

Dirk Nowitzki did not do any interviews immediately after propelling Germany to its first Olympic berth since 1992. He couldn’t.

The Dallas Mavericks’ best player was in the locker room in Greece bawling Sunday, like a baby or newlywed or player who has finally delivered on a promise to his country, his coach and himself.


I unfortunately had to move this past weekend so I missed all of it, but congratulations to Dirk, there is not a person in the world that deserves more than this guy, Go Germany!
