Dirk Nowitzki had a great moment with a Sacramento Kings security guard last week. The officials for the Mavericks-Kings game were doing a video review of a play with 36.1 seconds remaining in the game. Dirk was trying to work his way over towards the monitors to see how things were going with the review, only there was one problem: a bold security guard stood in his way.
The old man shadowed Dirk wherever he went and boxed out the Dallas all-star. His
“That’s the best defense Sacramento has played!” the announcers agreed.
“This is textbook defense!” the amused announcers said.
Dirk even had sly grin on his face as he tried to outmaneuver the guard by reversing course, but it didn’t work. He should have tried some sort of crossover.
Dirk eventually gave up and playfully pretended to punch the guard in the stomach, and the man reacted with all the emotion of a Buckingham Palace guard.
The whole thing was awesome. The review went Dallas’ way, and the Mavs went on to win 117-112 in overtime.
