Nobody loves roasting Dirk Nowitzki more than the man himself.
The Dallas Mavericks star takes such great delight in poking fun of his advanced age and deteriorating mobility, even a tweet about a video-game bug can prompt some lighthearted self-slander.
We are aware of an issue with Dirk Nowitzki and are working on a fix.

I have enough issues on the court already. Don't need one in a video game.... https://t.co/wrdCPjZMS6

Apparently, the older he gets, the more he tweets about slowing down.
Nowitzki is coming off a season in which he recorded 14.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game, which are all below his career averages. He's a week away from his 39th birthday and will enter his 20th NBA campaign in 2017-18.
