Dirk Nowitzki Shaves John Harden-Esque Beard After Texas Mavericks Achieve 40-40

Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks don't need the playoffs. They'd something much greater to play for. Just like the power to appear clear shaven again. At 21-28, Dirk and crew made a pactAnot to cut before the team reached.500. Two-plus months and 31 activities later, the Mavericks achieved 40-40 following an 18-point thrashing of the Brand New Orleans Hornets. As you are able to tell (h/t Larry Brown Sports), Nowitzki wasted very little time in relieving himself of the forest that was developing on his face. He can be seen smirking as he gives his face a quick hype. Although certainly delighted that Dallas hit the.500 mark, Dirk was waiting to flee the responsibilities that include being James Harden's doppleganger for quite a while. He'd a at the ready after the Mavericks were 35-36. Much like Harden's mustache, Nowitzki's had become something of a novelty. His face resembled that of a crazy grizzly bear and people liked it. After watching him sport a jungle's price of muttonchops for pretty much half the season, it is nearly distressing to see his face bare again. He appears an excellent 10 years younger. His untamed facial art will soon be missed by everybody except Dirk himself. Oh, and possibly his wife as well. "I could easily get a hug tonight," Nowitzki mentioned (via Mike Fischer of Fox Sports Southwest). "My partner stopped kissing me sometime in February." Congratulations, Dirk. In one night, your Mavs reached.500 again, you shaved your mustache, regained the right to smooch your partner and eclipsed 25,000 details for the profession. Talk about your remarkable victories.
