The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Hour 2: Dirk Nowitzki And Stump The Meech

Thu, 19 Dec 2024

Description

Miami's very own boogeyman, Dirk Nowitzki, joins the show and Mike Ryan has fled the premises in fear. We talk to the Dallas Mavericks legend about slaying the giant in 2011 when he took down LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and the Miami Heat basically all by himself. We also dive deeper on his rivalry with Dwyane Wade and just how frosty things got at one point in time. Plus, Amin goes deep into the archive to find the stats from when Dirk and John Amaechi matched up back in the day and we make a shocking revelation that Meech may have been a Dirk Stopper. To wrap up, we play Stump The Meech with some shocking mispronunciations from Stugotz. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Mike Ryan has fled the studio the way that Amin once fled the court when Tim Duncan roared after making a game-winning shot. Mike Ryan has left because he's seen this face. He's seen this name. It's a 14-time NBA All-Star, MVP, Finals MVP, NBA champion. And when I look at him on behalf of Miami, I think Izzy will vouch for me on this. It is...

101.167 - 123.658 Dan Le Batard

The highest compliment you can give in sports, which is, I do not dislike this man, even though he broke my heart. I must respect it. His excellence was such, I saw what those Miami teams became, and he slayed them, not by himself, but it damn sure looked like it was by himself, with him and J.J. Baret on his back like a spider monkey, like a howler monkey, carrying them and beating Dwayne.

So thank you, Dirk. Thank you, Dirk. No, but you know that that's what you did to Miami that year. Dirk, people were questioning you.

0
💬 0

147.036 - 171.198 Dirk Nowitzki

Yes, that's true. But, you know, after 2006, I had to come back and do something, right? That was a tough year where, you know, we were up 2-0 on you guys. And we were in a great position to win it all. And there's just that whole week, you know, back in the days, it was still the 2-3-2. And that whole week in Miami where we lost three straight was like a week from hell. So that'll never...

💬 0

172.218 - 178.382 Dirk Nowitzki

Never let me down, but I'm glad we got back in 2011 and had the chance to redeem ourselves.

0
💬 0

178.802 - 201.176 Dan Le Batard

I'd be curious, Dirk, given how that went in 2006. Like, I know a lot of people in retrospect will say, ah, we were the better team. But you'd have a pretty good argument if you thought those three games, Avery Johnson never stopped doubling Shaq. Like, if some things had changed there, it felt like Dallas was the better team. Would you ever say that, having lost?

0
💬 0

202.745 - 226.266 Dirk Nowitzki

I mean, I don't know. We were up 2-0 and we were up, what, over 10 points in the third game with five, six minutes left. So, I mean, we made a pretty good case over the almost three games that we were the better team. But, you know, you can never not close and say you were the better team. Now, you can say maybe...

0
💬 0

227.487 - 245.958 Dirk Nowitzki

in a series of one game where you lose, you can say we were a better team, but you can't say that in a seven game series, that's the better team usually wins. So I can't sit here and say we were the better team. I think we definitely had our chances, but once

0
💬 0

247.319 - 276.121 Dirk Nowitzki

i think our experience wasn't quite there yet once we once we lost game three they came back and four was a complete blowout and then it was so mental i mean you guys were in our heads we switched hotels uh i mean it was that whole week uh like i mentioned earlier was just uh it was just one of the toughest weeks i've ever been a part of in the nba so that's that was a week to forget and then we came home the down three two still have two home games all we had to do was

0
💬 0

277.061 - 285.425 Dirk Nowitzki

was win game six, force it to a game seven, have a home game for game seven, and we just couldn't stop the bleeding and win game six. So, yeah.

0
💬 0

285.505 - 291.047 Stugotz

They switched hotels. It was over. It was over. The Miami Heat knew it was over at that point, wasn't it?

0
💬 0

292.377 - 321.81 Dirk Nowitzki

Yeah, I think that was just something Coach Eri tried after game four. It was just so ugly. We got blown out. It wasn't even close. And so, you know, he's like, pack your stuff. We're leaving right now. We're leaving. And so we all had to go upstairs and pack our bags and basically checked in somewhere in Fort Lauderdale somewhere. It was, yeah, once it got that far, that was pretty tough.

321.85 - 322.851 Dirk Nowitzki

You guys were in our heads.

323.091 - 341.402 Stugotz

Derek, I've never been more upset with players that wear heat uniforms than I was when Dwayne and LeBron mocked you for supposedly not being sick. Like, why would you fake being sick? It's ridiculous. But that was part of the relationship between you and Dwayne. He also said something, I think, where you maybe weren't a great leader or something like that.

0
💬 0

341.442 - 350.491 Stugotz

Could you describe sort of the relationship between you and Dwayne? Because you are two superstars who shouldn't be disliked by anybody. But for a stretch there, you disliked each other.

0
💬 0

351.647 - 370.736 Dirk Nowitzki

Yeah, I think it started with competition, and with competition every now and then, you know, emotions run a little high. And I think what started his comment was when I said, we shouldn't have lost that series. No, I think I said, obviously I was frustrated afterwards, I said,

0
💬 0

371.996 - 396.568 Dirk Nowitzki

um they stole i think he stole this and we gave it away something like that and i think that really triggered him because he felt like that this was disrespectful to their efforts and rightfully so so that was totally me after losing the serious saying something that you know obviously wasn't true and they he played an unbelievable serious and so they obviously deserved it i just

0
💬 0

397.568 - 418.622 Dirk Nowitzki

I just felt like we didn't quite execute. We didn't have experience. We didn't know how to close. So I think that triggered it all. And then he said some stuff that I didn't appreciate. And so there was, you know, there was some, I would say heated. There was just some, we kind of ignored each other for a couple of years. And there was just no relationship. There was no, no, no talking.

0
💬 0

419.903 - 445.305 Dirk Nowitzki

or even when we saw each other somewhere, there was no conversation. So and then, yeah, in 2011, it's kind of fitting that we saw each other again. And, you know, you know, it's always good now to say we're one in one with the Miami Heat and the finals. And so that's that's all it matters. But we're super cool now. We obviously win the Hall of Fame. uh, together last summer.

0
💬 0

445.445 - 468.217 Dirk Nowitzki

And that was an incredible experience and kind of a bonding thing. And, uh, on his podcast, we actually had a little moment where we, we talked about the, or aired out some of the stuff that was said. And, uh, so I, I think everything was kind of, you know, obviously in the heat of the moment and emotions and, uh, but I don't have a problem with, with, with obviously Dwayne and the person.

0
💬 0

468.257 - 468.677 Dirk Nowitzki

That's fine.

0
💬 0

468.757 - 477.607 Dan Le Batard

But I want the innermost thoughts when you're in a room together and you see him and you're like, I'm not going to talk to him. And if he comes over here, I'm not going to talk to him. Like, I want your innermost thoughts in there.

0
💬 0

479.189 - 502.367 Dirk Nowitzki

I think it was just like, you know, we kind of both act that the other person doesn't exist. I think... To this day, was it 07 maybe in the All-Star game in Vegas? We were the only All-Star starters that didn't high-five. I think in the history of the All-Star game. So I think that kind of sums it up a little bit.

0
💬 0

502.387 - 511.374 Dan Le Batard

So you're pretending he's invisible. You're like, I'm competing with him at not letting him know I know that he exists over there.

0
💬 0

511.994 - 535.01 Dirk Nowitzki

we're both acting like the other person wasn't there it was it was just awkward and like i said it was uh just something silly but um it just it started with with both sides saying something that wasn't appreciated and just we had i wouldn't even say there was just no relationship nobody neither guys wanted to talk to the other or wanted to have a conversation and we left it at that

0
💬 0

535.43 - 552.382 Dan Le Batard

Well, perhaps I can make you giggle with this and bring you closer to your good friends because insults and laughter are the shared intimacy of our language among men in sports. So here you go. I'm going to tickle you a little bit. Give me all your honest thoughts here at this Dwayne Wade statue.

0
💬 0

553.888 - 568.458 Dirk Nowitzki

Well, he chose this moment. You know, this is my house. And, you know, it's actually the same artist that did mine in Dallas. So I can't be too critical. Oh, no.

568.498 - 573.362 Dan Le Batard

You can't say that that looks like Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool after he's been burned?

0
💬 0

576.144 - 597.596 Dirk Nowitzki

Oh man, the weather is cold outside here in Europe right now. Dwayne was obviously involved from the beginning, so that's obviously the most important thing. If he's happy and he feels like this represents him the right way, then we all should be moving on.

597.836 - 609.679 Dan Le Batard

Meech, what are you laughing about? It's just incredibly diplomatic. It was so good. It was so nice. I tried to bait him into it. He wouldn't do it. John Amici is here. Dirk, do you remember ever playing against John Amici?

0

609.72 - 614.521 John Amaechi

He absolutely does not. I would have been on the bench. He would have been on scoring and I would have been on the bench.

614.949 - 621.492 Dirk Nowitzki

Yeah, I obviously remember you from Orlando. So when I got in the league, were you still in Orlando?

I think I may have been last year in Orlando.

Amin, can you find for me, please, some head-to-head stats in Amici's games against Dirk Nowitzki? Why would we do that?

One of the two of us talking has a statue, and the other one does not.

The other one is a statue.

That's why I beat his ass. I noticed that Tony is not brave enough to suggest he could beat you in one-to-one.

💬 0

648.373 - 670.259 Tony

To Dirk? Yes. Dirk is a childhood idol of mine. I wore 41 as a kid because of Dirk. I was a bigger kid. That evaded answering the question. I'm talking to Childhood Hero really quick, though. I was a bigger kid that had a jumper, and I always looked at Dirk and be like, if I can hit a one-legged fadeaway in the JCC at five years old, I was the guy. I didn't hear an answer to the question.

0
💬 0

670.279 - 671.019 Tony

What was the question?

0
💬 0

671.32 - 681.608 Dan Le Batard

He was asking you, we didn't want to hear from what your jump shot was at five years old. We wanted to see whether you could, whether you feel like you, if you played Dirk right now, how do you think you would do?

0
💬 0

681.628 - 684.991 Tony

Do I get ball first or no? See, this is absurd.

0
💬 0

685.031 - 698.748 Dirk Nowitzki

Dirk, that guy in the back. That's always a big question with me too. Is it make it, take it? Who gets the ball first? Exactly. If you can't defend. then it's very important as it may take it or who has the ball first. So I get that. I ask that all the time too.

0

699.109 - 703.075 Dan Le Batard

Okay, but he is in my studio in the back row and he thinks he can beat you.

0
💬 0

704.761 - 721.237 Dirk Nowitzki

Yeah, I'm not quite sure about that. But, you know, I do have some health issues. So my mobility is more than suspect these days. But, listen, I'll just take two dribbles, put you down on the block, and it's night-night. There you go.

721.277 - 723.238 Tony

The one-legged fadeaway. And there it is.

0
💬 0

723.278 - 729.965 Dan Le Batard

When I grew up watching, he'd hit it on me. But what if you miss one? But, Dirk, what if you miss one?

0
💬 0

730.285 - 751.936 Dirk Nowitzki

He's got to miss a little. So if I miss one, I'm going to play. I'm going to use my length and my experience. And so I'm going to give you a little cushion. I'm going to watch if you can hit the first couple. And then if you make one that I got to make you, you know, do something else. You know, I just I use my length at seven feet with a long reach and see where this is taking me.

752.056 - 756.159 Tony

We're going to test the lateral quickness for sure, give you maybe an up and under, see if you can get around.

0

758.1 - 763.663 Dan Le Batard

Dirk, I feel like you're moving all that well these days. 20 years of running up and down at that size.

0
💬 0

764.624 - 780.594 Dirk Nowitzki

You know what? Lateral movement was an issue at 25, so it for sure is an issue at 45. I wasn't known for getting out there and showing on pick and rolls, and that was tough for me 20 years ago. You don't want to see my lateral movement now.

0
💬 0

781.614 - 802.738 Dan Le Batard

Dirk, do you have one moment? I'm not talking about winning the championship, but at any point in any of these games, do you feel one moment that feels better than all the others that at the end of a game, something you did where you were like, this is the best that this can feel trying to be excellent at this all my life?

0
💬 0

804.761 - 830.658 Dirk Nowitzki

Honestly, I wouldn't say 2011 was a great run, but some of the best playoff runs that I've had in my or maybe the best run I've ever had was probably in 06 when we got to the finals to beat the Spurs in that seven game series and win game seven on the road at the Spurs. was probably one of my greatest wins, the greatest achievements.

0
💬 0

831.239 - 852.711 Dirk Nowitzki

They were always the big brother, the big rivalry, and they always beat us. And so to get through there was just an amazing feeling. You know, to beat that team. Obviously, we all know how good the team was, how well coached they were. And so to get through there was probably the best series that I've been a part of over the whole seven games.

0
💬 0

853.451 - 875.45 Dan Le Batard

and probably the best i've played over over seven games stretch in my life we will tell the people about what you're doing with december 21st world basketball day but i mean just get me the head-to-head stats between dirk novitski and john amici did you find it what a jerk i got him right in front of me uh you guys met seven times seven times okay i must have been on the bench a lot

876.129 - 890.695 Amin Elhassan

You played quite a few minutes in the last meeting when you were playing for the Utah Jazz. You played 20 minutes. You were 0 for 4 in that game. Nice, nice work. Zero points, two fouls, four rebounds. Dirk had 21 and six, so pretty good job right there. Yeah, I mean, not bad.

0
💬 0

890.875 - 894.157 John Amaechi

I feel like that's a pretty indicative matchup.

0
💬 0

894.657 - 912.008 Amin Elhassan

You were three and four against Dirk in your career, so you can hold your head high. Now, if you want the averages, Dirk averaged 21.6 points, 8.9 rebounds, and almost a block a game. You averaged 1.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, and almost a turnover and a half a game.

0
💬 0

912.228 - 918.272 John Amaechi

What's amazing about that is that that 2.3 points, that must be almost higher than my actual average. It is.

0
💬 0

918.712 - 934.429 Dan Le Batard

You also held Dirk. You raised your average those nights. I really picked it up on those days. And you also held Dirk below his averages. Like those numbers are not as good as Dirk numbers. You're basically a Dirk stopper as far as I can tell.

938.893 - 953.386 Dan Le Batard

Tell us about what you're doing, Dirk, because you've become an ambassador for the game, World Basketball Day. You've always been an ambassador for the game. The global impact of basketball, unity through the game. You are doing what now in terms of selling the game?

0
💬 0

953.547 - 962.515 Dan Le Batard

Because right now, the NBA is taking quite the hit when it comes to people are saying ratings are indicative that the sport isn't as interesting as it used to be.

0
💬 0

964.127 - 989.888 Dirk Nowitzki

Yeah, I saw that too, and I'm not quite sure what to say to that. Whether it's young guys or young people don't really watch that much TV anymore or don't sit in front of the TV for two and a half, three hours anymore, I'm not quite sure. Is it really the game? Is it really that we're shooting too many threes? I just don't see that being the main reason why... People don't watch our game anymore.

0
💬 0

990.469 - 1015.392 Dirk Nowitzki

I don't really believe that. I'm sure there's lots of other things or factors going into that. If I knew the answer, I would probably work in New York in the commissioner's office. But... You know, for World Basketball Day, Luca is launching his foundation. And, you know, for one of his things that he wants his foundation to do is help basketball worldwide.

0
💬 0

1015.452 - 1038.462 Dirk Nowitzki

So he put together like a committee of guys that help out and wanted... you know, give back and grow the game and give back to the future players. And so it's going to be interesting. I think how he wants to do it, I'm going to let him tell the story when it launches in a couple of days. But there's some cool guys and cool basketball minds.

1038.482 - 1043.404 Dirk Nowitzki

Steph Curry's on the committee, me, Steve Nash, Grant Hill, lots of others.

1044.224 - 1069.943 Dirk Nowitzki

so i think we're we're just trying to help the game uh grow and and develop in the right way and and so we'll see what we come up with in in the next few years and then how we take this which direction this will go but i'm excited to be a part of it and i'm i'm surprised that luca would make that one of his missions of the foundation which is amazing at that age that he's already thinking about what can i do for the for the next generation so

1076.547 - 1085.332 Amin Elhassan

Dirk, you're good friends with Steve Nash. You guys played together in Dallas and then Steve obviously went on to Phoenix. Did you guys ever talk about what would have happened had you guys stayed together?

0
💬 0

1087.529 - 1116.245 Dirk Nowitzki

Yeah, I know that's your guy. You know, Steve, I sometimes, you know, go back and think a little bit. What if? I think there were a couple of years there where some championships were for the taking. You know, we're starting in 05, maybe 06, 07. You know, obviously the Spurs were great. And then, you know, and... When Powell went to Lakers, obviously, then they took over.

0
💬 0

1116.585 - 1139.837 Dirk Nowitzki

Before that, KG and Paul Pierce went to Boston. KG and Ray Allen joined Paul Pierce. So that would have been tough squads to beat. But right before then, I think there were some years where it would have been possible. But, hey, you know, you just never know. I think at the end of the day, us... You know, separating was probably also good for our careers.

0
💬 0

1140.217 - 1166.299 Dirk Nowitzki

We both had to take on more responsibility and we probably grew in ways that we might have not grown together because of the responsibility we had to take without each other. You know, that Phoenix team was just perfect for him, for his skill set, for the speed he played the game at, and, you know, the athleticism around him was just perfect. And so, I don't know. I don't know.

Dirk, I'm so tired after 20 years. Like, always the diplomat. Like, stop, all right? We love watching those teams. You can say, yeah, we would have won a couple of championships. We should have stayed together. We would have had a shot. Yeah, you were great together. We loved watching it together. Ever the diplomat.

I'm sorry to yell at you. Why am I yelling at you? No, no, no, it was good. I needed it to wake up. But no, we had a great squad and we loved playing with each other and we had great chemistry. And so would that have translated? Would we have stayed healthy together? I mean, who knows? There's a thousand questions, but I think we would have had a good shot.

Heck, do it on draft. As long as it's got that beautiful amber color and was Triple Hops brewed, you know it's going to be a hit. Why? Because Miller Lite has tastes you know you can depend on. No games, no gimmicks, just great beer for people who like beer. Take a sip, look around, see your family, and know you immediately made the best decision possible. Because Miller Lite is brewed for taste.

It hits different than other light beers. Simple ingredients. It's like malted barley for rich, balanced toffee note flavors in the iconic golden color. The original light beer since 1975 and still the best one. Making memories at year-end gatherings? Tastes like Miller time. Go to MillerLight.com slash stand to find delivery options near you.
