SL Game 2: DAL vs SA @ 3:00cst on ESPN

This.  I don't know what Nico did to turn Dirk sour on the Mavs organization, but CF could learn a lot from Dirk--as a man, basketball player, and friend.  Dirk had some warts, but he always worked hard to improve in every way.  My hat's off to Dirk.  I hope we can eventually say the same to CF.

Wow...I try not to, but I'm also putting a lot on CF.  When I was 18--60 years ago--I was dumb as a bag of rocks.  I did stupid, stupid things.  I just hope the pressure won't be too much for CF.

From what I recall (can't remember the source) Dirk took a step back from the Mavs after Casey Smith wasn't retained. Dirk didn't like how Casey was treated.
