Encore: Dirk Nowitzki jersey retirement special with 8 guests! Aug 10, 2023

Show notes

This is a repost of the 2022 podcast on the day of Dirk's jersey retirement. This was such a good and fun episode we had to post it again.

Eight different people were able to drop what they were doing the day of Dirk's jersey retirement and tell Dirk stories and moments which made an impact on them. Jason Gallagher kicks us off, followed by Matt Moore of Action Network, Rob Mahoney of the Ringer, and Bobby Karalla of Mavs.com. After a short break, Jonathan Tjarks of the Ringer joins, then Dalton Trigg of DallasBasketball.com, followed by Tim Cato of the Athletic, and lastly Ben Collins of NBC News. This is one of the best episodes we've ever put out, but that's because talking Dirk is always an outstanding time.
