Do they still carry the press conferences with players after the NBA playoff games? I liked listening to those. Sometimes guys would crack jokes on them. I was the butt of a joke during that setting once.

During the playoffs, German reporters came to cover Dirk. They would ask Dirk questions in German. After Dirk had answered a question for them in German, then told us what was asked and how he answered, I asked Michael Finley a question. I got kind of tongue tied when I asked it & I had to ask it over the way I intended it. Michael replied, "Did you ask that in German".

The joke wasn't that funny, but him asking it sitting at a table, on a stage, with recorders running & cameras rolling, was hilarious. I laughed too.
