Dirk on Kobe: ‘Disappointing that we’re all getting old’

Dirk Nowitzki on Kobe Bryant retiring: Its disappointing. A lot of these warriors that were drafted in the 90s are slowly fading away. And its obviously toward the end for us all. Its a little sad. But Im happy for him that he made that decision for himself. It could lift a little weight off his shoulder. To me, hes probably the greatest player Ive faced. And Ive faced some great players with Tim Duncan and Shaq and all these guys. But he was something else, just scoring-wise, the shot-making ability was incredible. I was always a big fan. But its disappointing that were all getting old.”
