Anyone notice how Dirk says "obviously" in every one of his sentences. He ALWAYS starts off answering a question with obviously, if he doesn't, it was supposed to be there.

Obviously he picked it up when asked if T-Mac shut his ass down in the 04-05 playoffs, I'd bet on it. "So Dirk, did T-Mac guard you well in the playoffs?" "Obviously..."
Just saw David Aldridge's postgame interview with Amare Stoudemire...and I have to say... ...obviously... Nowitzki's English is way better than Stoudemire's.
Dirk is my favorite non-Rocket player. Gotta respect his intelligence. He's also got a very dry sense of humor which I find amusing. His Punk'd episode was hilarious, and he showed a lot of patience and maturity -- something severly lacking with your typical NBA player these days. And yes, the fact that his second language is twice as good as most NBA players is remarkable.
