The things that Dirk has done for this league and for the Dallas Mavericks, it's unbelievable. And Coach Kidd was a teammate of Dirk, so for Jason Kidd to compare me with Dirk Nowitzki, it feels nice. It's a nice compliment.

The best player I ever played against was Paolo Maldini. We [Arsenal] played against Milan in the European Supercup [in 1995]. Maldini marked me and I didn't even get a kick of the ball all game. He was just unbelievable.

Paul Merson

Dirk is like the German Moses, invincible and inspiring. That is why 'His Name Is Dirk' must be the Official Fan Song for Dirk Nowitzki.

Flula Borg

Paul Scholes is the best player I've ever played with. There's talent in every part of his game.

Gary Neville

I'm a huge Dallas Mavs fan. What I love about Dirk Nowitzki is he has just as much talent as everyone else, if not more, and he never toots his own horn. He's this silent warrior.

Erin Wasson

The best player I've ever played against is Kobe Bryant. I have seen him do some stuff that is just unbelievable.

Dirk Nowitzki

The best player I ever played against is Thierry Henry. He was something else; i've played against Rooney and Ronaldo and players like that but i think he was the best player ever to play in the Premier League

Jamie Carragher

Nadal's the best player in history on [clay], and he is one of the best-ever players that played this game.

Novak Djokovic

Dirk Nowitzki has been my hero for many years.

Flula Borg

This Guy (Messi) is the Best Player in the World, no doubt about that. I think we're always nervous about calling people who are currently playing, who are young at 23, to say he's the Best Player ever. But we shouldn't be. We should admit what we are seeing in front of our eyes. This is a special talent, who may be is the Best Player ever been seen.

Gary Neville

I've had to guard Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Dirk Nowitzki. I've had to guard the best person on the opposing team.

Jared Dudley

I might like the Sacramento Kings. One of my favorite players is Dirk Nowitzki.

E-40

Dirk Nowitzki will be better than Larry Bird. I'm a legend killer.

Mark Jackson

I have played against (Michel) Platini, (Diego) Maradona, (Johan) Cruyff and played with George Best — a lot of big names, but none of them has been able to do what Messi does. Two years ago I said that the best player I played against was Maradona and the best player I have played with was Bestie. But I can now say I have never seen a player as good as Messi. He’s in a league of his own.

John Terry

Dirk was obviously a player that I looked up to. In high school I actually wore No. 41 in honor of Dirk. He was the first player where I was like this guy is seven-feet tall and shooting jump shots and shooting threes, this is what I want to be like.
