Today, Dirk is 37. We never thought we'd get here when he made his NBA debut in 1998, but here he is, still hooping.
There are hardly words to describe the way he transformed the Mavericks franchise in the decade and a half since, so I won't bother, but instead we as a Mavs Moneyball staff decided to get Dirk birthday presents because that's how nice and caring people we are.
Jonathan said he'd give Dirk a golf watch. Nice, classy, respectable. He'll probably add it to the crate of gold watches already sitting in his closet somewhere.
