I came up with my own 'Dream Shake' I guess - the white version.

If you do the best you can, you have nothing to be ashamed of. A defeat is not a disgrace.

Of course parents want their children to confide in them.

The playoffs is all about showing heart and playing together.

I want to raise a family and have a couple of small Dirks running around. But it will not be easy to win my heart.

I wanted to avoid service, because I was on the road to becoming a professional basketball player.

Basketball gave me a lot, which is why I want to stay connected with this sport later on, maybe working with young people. But it would be more in the background. Being in the spotlight was never really my thing. I never wanted to be famous.
