Dirk talks about his farewell tour from away crowds: "To get so much appreciation and respect on the road is unbelievable. Not a lot of players get a standing ovation when you sub in on the road. It’s an emotional feeling. I’m not going to forget that for the rest of my life. I’m truly appreciative"

Full quote:

Q: You’ve been saying for years that you don’t want a farewell tour — yet it seems as though the whole N.B.A. is foisting a farewell tour upon you. How comfortable (or not) have you been with all the attention you’ve been getting?

DIRK: It’s been awesome. Boston comes to mind, Madison Square Garden, Indiana. It’s obviously great to feel love from your home crowd, but to get so much appreciation and respect on the road is unbelievable. Not a lot of players get a standing ovation when you sub in on the road. It’s an emotional feeling. I’m not going to forget that for the rest of my life. I’m truly appreciative.
