Our ever humble Dirk!During All-Star Weekend, Michael Jordan gave an interview in advance of his 50th birthday and said only four players from this era could have been superstars in his era – Dirk Nowitzki, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan.
Nowitzki was properly humbled.
“Obviously, I was a Bulls’ fan, and Jordan was my hero,” Nowitzki said. “For him to even know my name is crazy, to be honest.
“Everybody knows he’s the greatest of all time. For him to even say my name is weird.”
