Dirk keeping it real. From one legend to another.
“Tim Duncan was the best power forward ever”: Dirk Nowitzki
NBA Champ Dirk Nowitzki was named in the NBA’s 75 Greatest list which was released recently. The German superstar was also named as one of the ambassadors for the league’s milestone season. And recently, Dirk took part in a Twitter Spaces and spoke about many topics.
In a wide-ranging discussion, the 43-year-old named Tim Duncan as the toughest player he’s ever faced while dishing out some huge compliments (https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/mavericks/2021/10/23/mavs-legend-dirk-nowitzki-says-luka-doncic-is-the-full-package-among-the-nbas-best-players/) to the Spurs legend.
“To my mind, always comes Tim Duncan on my position. Before he slid over to center, he was really a power forward. He was the best power forward ever. He was so skilled… He’s a great rebounder, great defender, was really low key and I don’t think he gets talked about enough because he’s such a low-key guy and never loved the limelight. But between those lines he was so tough, he was so good and there was no way you could stop him on the blocks… We had some great battles with San Antonio over the years. We had a little rivalry going there for a lot of years. And just to compete against him and see his greatness up close in the playoffs almost every year made me obviously appreciate him so much.”
