Watch: Doc Rivers Calls on Clippers Crowd to Give Dirk Nowitzki Standing Ovation

Dirk Nowitzki made likely his final trip to the Staples Center as a player on Monday night, and Clippers coach Doc Rivers made sure Nowitzki wouldn't leave without the proper recognition. Rivers grabbed the microphone at center court with nine seconds remaining in Los Angeles' 121-112 win, imploring the crowd to give the 21-year veteran a standing ovation before time expired.

Classy move by Doc and the Clips to call a timeout with 9.4 secs remaining and encourage the crowd in LA to give Dirk a standing ovation ud83dudcaf
