The nice thing about making fun of Dirk Nowtizki is that he has no problem piling on as well.
ESPN's Kevin Pelton recently profiled the Dallas Mavericks big man, writing: "He runs like he's stuck in cement, an issue in transition defense, defending fellow stretch-bigs and against the pick-and-roll."
The 7-foot German seems to agree with that assessment, even taking it a few steps further:

It's hard not to like a self-deprecating future Hall of Famer.
