I thought basketball was a game for women. My mother played basketball, and so did my sister.
Dirk NowitzkiI know, basketball is a dance. I didn't understand the significance of that type of training at first. I was supposed to read poems.
Dirk NowitzkiI take my sport damned seriously. Basketball is my life. There are other people who go into important games as if they were any other game. I'm a brooder and I spend a lot of time thinking about my opponent, about the things he can do and about what I have to do to win. I don't think I'll ever be able to change that.
