Dirk Nowitzki's First Impression Of Luka Doncic 😳

#lukadoncic x #dirknowitzki

[@simonkue3730]

Wish they played together more would be fun to see

[@robben6994]

That wish never come tru..thats illusion only

[@Jumpshot_James77]

​@@robben6994we obviously know that. But Dirk and Luka would be a NASTY combo on the court in 2v2

[@Mark-db1ok]

I went to ONE game where they played together during the brief crossover of their careers here in Dallas. I got to see a Luka dish to Dirk for a 3 pointer. It was pretty cool, the place went nuts.

I never thought Dirk spoke with such a American accent

[@Yethegoat10]

Been here a minute

[@arthropod-doctor]

He lost the German accent over the years

[@aewisjericho8848]

I am German myself and english is really easy to learn as an German because the languages are very similar(Germanistic languages lol). So quite a few Germans have American accents actually.

[@raiderr5632]

@@aewisjericho8848that’s really interesting, would you happen to know if the same is true in the opposite direction? That is do American that learn German have a German sounding accent?

[@arthropod-doctor]

@@raiderr5632 German-American here. A lot of Americans who learn German pick it up pretty quickly. They do have a bit of an "American" accent when speaking, but it's generally not too far off. The inflection patterns are a bit similar, since they're both Germanic languages

[@Mark-db1ok]

Dirk is an international treasure.

[@vicdelrosario4237]

The German sharpshooter!

[@ChryslerChristler]

Passing of the torch! As a big Dirk fan It was really nice to see Dirk and Luka play for at least a season, it was the perfect ending for Dirk's career too.

A true superstar. Stuck with the team his whole career and didn’t take them down with him with a huge contract towards the end of his career

[@chuckfinley9352]

I read somewhere that him and Cuban made a deal where he would make less money when he was playing, in return he would have a lifetime “ consultant job”

[@crimson2209]

“is he quick enough?” that’s the thing. he’s magic. he doesn’t need to be

[@jessicagalvan3358]

Yea because u can’t play defense now it’s offense league it’s a joke..he’s not like bird he can’t handle physicality

[@KingstonDope]

@@jessicagalvan3358players just adapt to the rules of the game. You can’t compare 2 players that played 40 years apart it’s a different game

[@sasquatch7234]

To be fair, once in a blue moon, Luka will turn on the jets. He can be pretty fast when he wants to be. But yeah, other than that he slow as hell lol.

[@ballerez7889]

​@@jessicagalvan3358he's 6'7 230, he'll be fine

I really hope Luka is as loyal to dallas as Dirk was

[@AsetAbulgaparov]

He will

[@Sebastian_Polak_Maly]

He'll be paid almost $350m over 5 years soon, on top of making this season's Finals. Luka will stay.

[@Gastrofox]

That's sad to stay in the same team

[@capello85]

If he has a team to fight for NBA title he will stay, it seems the Mavs made the right moves this year

[@shanrenee2908]

I miss the days players stayed with one team to win. I think Luka will stay and hopefully Kyrie

[@robiny4457]

I really want doncic to win the championship. Going to make dirk so proud

[@Elija389]

Yes ,Dirk would love it as much as when he won it,he loves the MAvs

[@efraimsoloway4420]

Ironic of dirk to think a European player wouldn’t be able to figure it out in the nba 😂😂

[@sasquatch7234]

I mean, many Europeans never did figure it out or were just average in the NBA. So, it was a fair assumption.

[@Baguenaudeur]

​@@sasquatch7234Except Luka wasn't your average 25th pick. Bro was a phenomenon in Europe, playing exactly how he plays today. There is no way, no way any decent scout watched him and was like "I don't know if he can make it in the NBA". Literally everyone who watched Euroleague knew he was the obvious 1st pick, by far. For comparison Victor was being hyped as hell years later while he never came close to the level Luka displayed in Madrid.

[@kharathos4121]

I mean Dirk, being a European, doesn't put all European players in 1 bag like alot of people in the states do, but rather judges each player individually

[@GriefingGamer]

@@BaguenaudeurI mean Ricky Rubio is a good example of a well accomplished young prospect from Europe that didn’t pan out either yeah he was a good role player but he isn’t what Luka is, I feel like it’s the same argument that is used for being able to draft players straight from high school. “Oh Kobe and Lebron were drafted straight from high school and you’d be blind to assume they weren’t gonna be superstars” meanwhile there were tons of previously drafted 18 year olds who were supposed slam dunks that never panned out

[@ball3677]

​@@Baguenaudeur Thats easy to say in hindsight. The reality is you can never actually *know* a player will make the transition. Whether it be D1 college in the states or in Europe. There are guys who on paper should have 100% been able to make it at the next level who became busts. There are guys who everyone had zero faith that their body and skills would translate that ended up being the best in their class. Its a real crap shoot. People tend to think "The next LeBron" is a lock when they turn out like Andrew Wiggins and OJ Mayo.

[@stansbruv3169]

Glad they got ONE season together. Wish it could’ve been more. Dirk (step daddy) was a defensive liability even more than his incredible shooting would allow. Love these dudes. Go Mavs.
