The Mavs host the Phoenix Suns at 7:30 tonight. That means Dirk Nowitzki has another meeting against his longtime friend, Suns point guard Steve Nash.
The Mavs went through last season facing Nash and the Suns, so Nowitzki said it's no longer odd playing against him.
"I think, at the beginning of last year, it was a little weird seeing him in that ugly orange uniform," Nowitzki said. "But we've all moved past that now.
"I think, once you see your friends more and more in other uniforms, you get used to it."
With no disrespect to the Mavs' point guards, Nowitzki said no one has provided him easier looks at the basket than Nash.
"He's always looking for an open teammate, always penetrating and kicking [the ball outside] and seeing the open guy," Nowitzki said. "That's why he's the best point guard out there.
"You see him make passes that you think are impossible. ... He used to get me at least three or four wide-open looks a game."
It was the exact same thing he said to Finley :lol
