Dirk Nowitzki: ‘I don’t think I see myself coaching in the future’

Talking about Luka Doncic, his former teammate shared what he was like looking at him in his last season in Dallas. “The transition was pretty smooth for him. I played with him for one year, my last one. We all didn’t know how good he was. He was the MVP of the EuroLeague, but that didn’t mean anything when he came to the NBA. From the first practice, I knew how he felt about the game”, the German phenomenon revealed. “He plays like a 35-year-old: wicked basketball IQ, what he sees on the floor I never saw. He knows how to handle big moments. We talk about basketball often, but I don’t need to mentor him anything. He’s an incredible talent and player. It was fun seeing him transitioning to the NBA. The start of something special, we’ve been witnessing greatness from him”, Dirk Nowitzki continued on Luka Doncic. -via EuroHoops.net / August 23, 2024
