NBA: Kevin Durant ennobles Dirk Nowitzki:”Unique in the league!”

The 44th. For the first time Kevin Durant played now in the regular season or the playoffs against Dirk Nowitzki. It is still an honour for the current final MVP to compete against the oldie. KD praised Dirk’s relationship with Dallas.

“It’s always a great feeling to play against him,”Durant said after the Golden State Warriors’ narrow victory at the Dallas Mavericks,”He has given so much to the game and is still working hard. Still, he loves the game, as he always has.”

Now, at the age of 39, Nowitzki is already playing his 20. Season in the NBA – all for the Dallas Mavericks, which Durant finds more than impressive “This is unrivalled in the league. What he means to the people of Dallas is hard to measure.”

Of the 44 comparisons, Durant won 27 games with the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Warriors,”I have a lot of good memories when I played against him,”Durant said, perhaps because of that.”Maybe there will be some more.”
