From Turkey. I am a teacher. Age 38.
Have been a fan of Dirk and hence Dallas Mavericks since 2001. Started watching NBA games in the late 90s but the Mavs love began in 2001 when Dirk and Germany national team played here in 2001 European Championship. Dirk was pure greatness in that tournament and I happened to be a die-hard Mavs fan right after.
We, as Europeans, live in the worst time zone when it comes to watching the NBA games. Dallas home games usually start at around 3 am. But still used to wake up so early to watch the games. I watched nearly all the games between the years 2003, when Hedo Turkoglu stepped on Dirk's ankle and led to a playoff series loss, hated him then though he is a Turk, and 2012. I also remember crying after the 2007 first round loss. How was Dirk's three after three in game two btw?
The loss against New Orleans in 2009 playoffs was the biggest hit on me, though. After the championship, I got married, had a little girl, been too busy at school. Still trying to keep an eye on my Mavs but can't find the energy in me to wake up so early and watch all the games, yet I feel a must to watch some, for example, today's game against the Spurs.
Have been around with you guys since the Dallasbasketball time. (If the Scout time wasn't before). Maybe earlier, not sure.
