Dirk Nowitzki: "It's been a long season here this year, tough one with my ankle, so I'm kind of glad it came to an end. But also bittersweet, of course. You know, they always say an athlete dies twice. It's tough. It's tough to let something go that you love so much, that you've been doing basically your entire life, something that you lived and breathed for basically over 20 years. So it's going to be tough for a few months, maybe years, but I tried to enjoy the heck out of the 21 years."
