A Quote by Giannis Antetokounmpo

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.

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.

Because I'm playing Dirk Gently [ in Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency], I'm so fond of Dirk. I really see Dirk's vulnerability, and you get that, more and more. You'll start to see a little bit more of Dirk's backstory, why he behaves the way he does, and why he's doing what he's doing. I see a lot of his vulnerability, his sensitivity and his insecurity.

Samuel Barnett

Dirk Nowitzki is the best European player, for me, that's ever played the game. He's an unbelievable talent.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

My son's name is Dirk - I named Dirk Pitt after him when he was about three years old.

Clive Cussler

Dirk Gently has been a long passion (my career started with Douglas Adams and my stage adaptation of Dirk Gently) .

Arvind Ethan David

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

My closest friends in the league are Dirk Nowitzki and Rex Chapman. Although I think Michael Finley and I will be friends forever.

Steve Nash

Dirk Nowitzki has been my hero for many years.

Flula Borg

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

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

Mark Jackson

Dirk Gently [from Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency], needs a sidekick, as all good detectives do, and he gets this message from the universe that this guy, Todd Brotzman, played by Elijah Wood, is the guy to help him through this mystery. But of course, that doesn't really explain the breadth of it.

Samuel Barnett

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.

DeAndre Jordan

If you're calling yourself a maverick and you're not Dirk Nowitzki, then you are probably not one. In fact, this rule applies to anyone declaring themselves a 'God-fearing Christian' or a 'Man of the people.'

Adam McKay

Max [Landis] writes in quite a heightened way, specifically for Dirk. There's a rhythm and a specific speed to it, and it was very easy to learn because it was so well-written. It just rolled off the tongue. There aren't many auditions that I go for, where I feel like I could actually do the part. But with this one, even though I was not quite sure how to pin Dirk down, I thought I could do it.

Samuel Barnett

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