Mavs’ Devin Harris Is Taking Dirk Nowitzki’s Money
By Mike Dyce
Dallas Mavericks point guard Devin Harris is on fire from beyond the arc, making 12 of 24 over the last six games. Harris and superstar Dirk Nowitzki, who is a Three-Point Shootout Champion, have been staying late competing from deep.
Harris and Nowitzki have been making friendly wagers on their competitions and Harris has been cleaning out Nowitzki’s wallet for him.
From the Dallas Morning News:
"Harris, by the way, said he takes great delight in dipping into Nowitzki’s rather deep pockets in their friendly-wager shooting games.“He’s kind of a tightwad,” Harris said. “He doesn’t like giving it up, so I definitely enjoy taking it. I beat him a lot. He’s a guy who likes to talk a lot. I don’t like to talk a lot. I just like to beat him excessively.”"
Nowitzki said that Harris’ dominance as of late has been frustrating and that it ticks him off, but it is a pretty fun story about two teammates having fun. Especially after seeing a scene with teammates yelling at each other like we saw in Los Angeles.
It also reminds us that once upon a time Nowitzki hilariously trolled new teammate Chandler Parsons. After taking a pay cut so the Mavericks could sign Parsons, Nowitzki told his new teammate that dinner’s on the road are on him since he is being paid with Dirk’s money.
Guess this kind of balance’s things out.
