Dennis Smith: “Dirk was shooting his career-high three-point percentage, but that still wasn’t enough for him. He brought in a coach named Holger, who worked with him step-by-step. This man showed up in boots, jeans, and a trench coat, and walked Dirk through every little movement on the court. Dirk was so detailed—slowly stepping to his spot, turning, shooting, over and over. Watching that showed me why he was great. It’s not just about working hard; it’s about being efficient and diligent in your work. Dirk was already a legend, but he still wanted to improve. That’s why he’s one of the best to ever do it.” -via YouTube / November 20, 2024
