Dirk Nowitzki received potato in the mail from fan

You would think that Dirk Nowitzki had seen it all after 19 years in the NBA … and you would think wrong.

The Dallas Mavericks’ resident 13-time All-Star took to Twitter on Wednesday to share a rather interesting gift that he recently received in the mail from a fan: a potato with his image attached to it.

Whoever sent me this POTATO!!!! Much appreciated…. pic.twitter.com/fVaqRvvgTn

Because there’s no way to celebrate joining the 30,000 point club than by getting your recommended daily value of carbohydrates and potassium. It’s also worth noting how well-thought-out the gift was as you can make out “Potato Parcel” as the return address in the image. Potato Parcel is actually a gag gift company that was featured on “Shark Tank.”

This was our 30K points accomplishment gift to @swish41! Thank you for ballin all these years! Who will be the next @nba baller to share their potato?

Now the only question is if the soon-to-be 39-year-old Nowitzki still has what it takes to jump over the potato.
