Dirk Nowitzki may be retired, but he still loves basketball, and he really loves his Dallas Mavericks.

Therefore, he only wants the best for them and pays close attention to the state of the team.

The Mavericks are about to experience their first season with rookie Cooper Flagg.

Nowitzki has been paying close attention to Flagg and thinks he’s worth the hype.

“I mean, the hype was real for sure. I’m not the biggest college sports watcher in general, whether that’s basketball or any sport, but of course I had to check out Cooper and yeah, I mean, the sky’s the limit. Honestly, what I saw, just the way he reads the game already at that age of being barely 18. Athletic, skills, I heard his work ethic is through the roof. So everything that I’ve saw and heard is that, you know, he’s the real deal. The real deal,” Nowitzki said.
