NBA champ and Hall-of-Famer, Dirk Nowitzki, sat down for an exclusive interview with Matt & Stak. Nowitzki looks back on one of the toughest moments of his career when the Mavericks lost to the ‘We Believe’ Warriors in the playoffs and why he didn’t want to accept the MVP award that season.

Been waiting for Dirk to appear on here! Now y’all gotta get Tim Big Fundamental Duncan on here!
Dirk was a FKN BUCKET! hof'er indeed!
The reason for my mid range turn around build right here
'11 Dirk beating Prime LeBum, Wade, and Bosh makes up for '06 & '07
Who cares. That warriors team didn’t win another round. Knicks made it to the finals as a 8 seed.. what are really talking about?
Man I loved Dirk as a kid in my mind being from North Texas nobody was better than 41 and he had every kid thinking the same way😂😂
this is gonna be GOATED episode…cant wait
Those guys talk about that "we believe" team as if was a special all time NBA team 😂.
2011 still the sickest run I have seen in my life.
Finally! Dirk on the pod !
I just realized I had no idea what Dirk sounded like for all these years.
Bruh I was so mad in 07 😂
We Believe real Warriors fans like myself appreciate that.
That 06 series definitely broke me as a Mavs fan it’s crazy hearing him talk about it I still cant watch the highlights
I realize I've never heard Dirk speak, I didn't grow up with him playing. His accent sounds kinda Irish but he's German….
He has the same hurt that Jerry West has. Looks at those MVP/FMVP trophies or any individual accolades as failures because they wanted to be champions.
People gotta remember Don Nelson raised Dirk so he had an advantage against them with GSW WE BELIEVE
Dirk is big sitting down – he's big in the single shot. That game that series that team was so huge for the bay and the fans. Captain Jack.
You can still see how competitive Dirk is. He's still upset about that. What a killer he was.
I was there. It was glorious.
fell for dirk u can see how sad and disappointed he is to this day over that 2007 season but I’m happy he got that 2011 ring
Thank you so much DIRK for pushing yourself that summer and getting better where it counted. Without it we wouldn’t have won in 2011. 💙
The Great White GOAT! 42.21.1!!!
Get coach Nelly on now 😂
We Believe was just a fluke. Dallas were just unfortunate bcoz it was the touggest match up for them. After that round the Jazz dispatched the warriors in 5😂. Stak is acting they were the 1999 knicks or 2023 miami heat
They finally got Dirk up here. They love bringing up that damn we believe team. Yeah im still salty about it lol
To think that Dirk scored 2 points in his first ever nba game and ended up being top 5 scorer in NBA history is Mind boggling
lmao they torturing asking how it was to loose to them on their own show
If you haven't watched this series then WATCH IT ASAP. You'll get chills
🐐
That year the Warriors only barely got into the playoffs as the 8 seed. And the main reason they got there was because they won one of the last games of the regular season against the Mavs, when the Mavs were already cruising and not taking it seriously. They rested some of their main players and didn't take it seriously. Because of that game the Warriors got into the playoffs (facing the Mavs) and had a lot of confidence for that series. That was a huge mistake by the Mavs to take that last regular season game against them so lightly.
Dirk solidified himself as a Legend of the game during that championship run. Absolute legendary performance
This whole segment of Dirk loosing to those guys shows how great he is. He took the challenge and pushed to win the 2011 chip. The only legend in the room.
I've been waiting for you guys to get Dirk. Looking forward to the full show
Could we trade today’s childish stars for guys who cared in the 2000s like Dirk, Steve, Kobe, Kevin, Tim?! 🙏🏾
How can you not like Dirk? Professional, keeps it real and married to a sistah. He always invited to the cookout.😂
I'm glad they got Dirk on the show.
Man Dirk's pits were sweatin reliving that series 😂
