I've heard of many players obtaining a high ankle sprain in many different sports and cannot recall any of them coming back any sooner than 3 weeks. Dirk made it back in 9 days. I've always known Dirk was tough but that's just outrageous.
All of you who say Dirk aint nobody suck. Let's see your ass avg. 30.3 ppg and 10rpg AFTER you hurt your HIGH ankle AND knee. Don't hate on THE "WHITE" Boy because he is clutch. He does not talk sh&* like T-Mac who has never been outta da first round. He just lets the game do da talking!!!!
i watched this live its disturbing ot watch my fave basketball team's franchise player go down and what nowitzki did to kirelinko was an accident trying to strip the ball
Im no Mav fan, Im a Laker fan, but I must admit, I hated watching this, as an NBA fan, I would any hate for any player to go down with an injury like this. Im glad he made it back already, that just shows how much of a warrior this guy is, all hate put a side.
Yeah, Shame on Udoka for letting Dirk block his shot and land wrong. The league should suspend Udoka. Hell, might as well suspend Bowen for plotting with Udoka. Right?
hey.....DIRK gets lucky coz its just the leg....not the knee.....if its the knee????oh god....i think its goodbye for him....and they lose now thier most productive player...and what can jason kidd do with this????
It kills me to see Dirk hurt that way.! I cried when this happened.! Just to see all the pain in his eyes is unbearable.! I hope Dirk recovers fast.! Poor Dirk.! IloveyouDirk.!
I wouldn't be suprised if Dirk got better in time for when they play the warrors on the 2nd. Dirk seems like he always recovers fast. Just hope the team can win without Dirk, that's going to be a huge challenge (duh) lol
i agree with CARUnit ,,,,,, unless your team has won 67 games in one season, shut the FUCK up!!!!!!!even without dirk we WILL STILL WIN!!!! i know it!!!!!and WE WILL WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!! I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU DIRK!! TO kobewell24 NOOOOOO..... Dirks season is NOT over !!!! Neither is the Mavs!!!!!!!I dont care what any of you Mavs haters say ,,,, I WILL ALWAYS STAND BEHIND MY MAVS 110%!!!!!!!!!!!! GO MAVS AND I LOVE YOU DIRK!!! gett well soon ,,,,, WE NEED YOU !!!!!!
now what will jason kidd will do??? with dirk down... its time for josh howardand the gang to step up.... hope they will loose 15 games straight!!!!! hahahahahahhahahahahaha
First the NBA Finals. Then the Warriors upset. Then the Kidd trade. And now the Dirk Injury. And just like that, Dallas becomes the wasteland it was in the 90's before Nellie came. Nellie must be lovin' it! Take that Cuban!!11
you can not say whether it was intentional or not. I agree with you but on the one hand who throws arms down THAT hard enough to slam a guy to the down. On the other hand, Dirk looked like he was going for the ball and just threw his arms downward at the ball. But who knows.
How sad it is to see the Mavs go from unstoppable in 2007 to where they are right now, and now this injury. If Dirk is done for the season, if I were a Mavs fan, I would hope to see Mavs not get to the playoffs to get a better draft pick because without Dirk there's no chance they'll win.
wrong. If my Mavs don't make the playoffs, they keep their draft pick. And until all you mavs haters can say that your team has won 67 games in one season, don't talk.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
guys the more i watch this video...i'm gonna have to call the bull$hit flag on udoka...i see udoka unnecessarily whipping his right leg into dirk's leg or legs...i've seen alot of hard fouls where both players go out of bounds and usually the shooter has both legs close together...kicking his right leg out could have hurt udoka but it almost looked like a leg whip to me...i hate saying this but considering the dirty play of bowen...i would not put it past the spurs...udoka= new (dirty)bowen
Are you fucking kidding me??? You really fucking think while udoka was on a fast break and trying to make a layup with someone guarding him that he was actually thinking of kicking him to take him down?? Stop your bullshit k?? Shit happens and you got to deal with it
1:261:27 theres no point for udoka to extend his feet landing down accidental or not spurs is known to be dirty players. amare said it himself. nash suffered last playoff
What a stupid comment, everyone can tell this was an accident from the start. Udoka never meant to take out Dirk, even if the Spurs are considered dirty, this play is furthest from a dirty play. Your a Spurs hater and an idiot for makin such a bias comment.
Ouch!!! That injury is hard to watch and I do wish dirk a full recovery...did anyone else notice the song that is playing as he leaves the arena...Foo Fighters - There Goes My Hero...that's a little ironic...the look on cuban's face and avery johnson are priceless...i hope he comes back better than ever next season...tough break Mavs fans!
the mavs playoff hopes to advanced rounds were long broken even with the trade of jason kidd, i guess this maybe a great excuse for the mavs fans to say why htey didn't win the ring, but that injury from dirk reminds me of the broken leg by garbo of the toronto raptors and that took him out for more than 1 year
i think it is either a crucial ligament tear or a meniscus tear. i know this because the same thing happened to me last year and went into surgery and did not play for 5 months.. but in my case both were torn at the same time... good luck mavs
Don't you mean New Jersey could get a lottery pick and be more dangerous? Dallas pissed away their future for a over the hill player who's best days are well behind him.
Watch the video you and there is no clear view and it was very close on the only side view that was angled too high. The question was directed towards post game interviews. Keep your sarcasm in your mouth before more bullshit falls out of it.
