The Time Kobe Bryant Tried To Recruit Dirk Nowitzki

During an interview with ESPN, Kobe talked about the time he tried to recruit Dirk to the Lakers, knowing it was pointless.

“I remember calling Dirk back when he was a free agent. I said, “Dirk, listen. I know you’re not leaving Dallas, I get it, but I gotta make the call, what do you think?”

He says, “Yeah man, you’re right, bro. I’m a lifer like you man, we don’t leave.”
