The Dirk Statue Is, Um, Not Great

[TexasTowelie]

Last night’s ceremony to retire Dirk Nowitzki’s No. 41 made me cry. More than once. I hate it when my wife catches me sports-crying. “Oh, you’re crying,” she’ll say, with mock sincerity. “Are you OK, honey?” Last night I was like, “It’s the COVID! Haven’t you read about the watery eyes thing?!”

Anyway, the ceremony was great. Dirk was wonderful. I agree with everything Zac said earlier. I love that guy. (Dirk, not Zac.) Having established all that, the statue sucks.

There. I said it. I know some people on Twitter have said it. But I said it with WordPress.

It all comes down, in my ledger, to the balls. This is a family blog, so I won’t discuss here how the balls, strung together as they are, resemble a certain type of bead that is used for non-necklace purposes. Do some Googling if you’re curious. I’ll just stick to the sheer number of balls this statue has. If my maths are right, what we’re looking at here is 200 percent more balls than we need.
