VIDEO: Dirk Nowitzki refuses to celebrate with rookie Justin Anderson

Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports

The Dallas Mavericks belong to Dirk Nowitzki, and you don't celebrate an emotional win against DeAndre Jordan and the Los Angeles Clippers without Nowitzki's permission.

Mavs rookie Justin Anderson tried his best to get a high five from Nowitzki after the "Big German" hit the eventual game-winner, but he was simply denied.

Anderson redeemed himself with a highlight block shortly thereafter, but the 21-year-old still has a long way to go before he earns Nowitzki's respect.
