The list of people who have assisted Dirk Nowitzki on a shot is undoubtedly really long, and full of really weird names. I would only be 50 percent surprised to find that Mark Cuban was on it. Kyle Collinsworth is definitely on it now, if he wasn’t before, which he probably was.
I don’t know, I’m just thinking about all the teammates he’s had over his career in Dallas and it’s making me feel weird. And it’s only going to get longer as the Mavericks cycle through random 10-dayers until the season is over, and even longer still if he returns for next season.
Which he will. He can’t go out like this, on a team where the owner is openly bragging about how hard they’re tanking. Obviously he can’t go to another team for some ring-chasing, so the solution is obvious: bring the ring to Dallas. That means trading Seth Curry for Stephen Curry.
