Dirk Nowitzki Blocked A Shot And Then Hilariously Stared Down His Own Bench

You see that? That right there is when you know you've conquered all there is to conquer. When you are no longer playing just to beat your opponents, but playing to show your teammates - that undoubtedly clown you mercilessly for having a lack of athleticism - that you still can. Dirk Nowitzki's NBA career has been so successful that he longer has anything else to prove...other than the fact that he can still get up high enough to block the shot of someone his own height. He posted a double-double in a game the Mavericks won and no doubt his favorite moment of the night was mean mugging his own bench. He's somehow a 7 footer that can elicit a rise out of his teammates when he swats the shot of a nondescript white dude, yet he's still a star in the league. I don't know how he has done it, but not only has a goddamn quirky German dude become one of the most accomplished players in NBA history, but he's become one of the most lovable players in NBA history.
