Dirk Nowitzki was interviewed by ESPN revealing that Kobe Bryant had recruited him in 2011.
"Not many people have ever recruited me because everyone knows I love Dallas and I want to stay here," Nowitzki said, "I remember Kobe Bryant contacting me one year and it was an honor." I remember the year I won the championship, my four-year contract ended. We've discussed, texting frequently. But I told him ,'I'm sorry, but you know.' Dallas is my city, my home. It would be strange to put on another jersey. I think he totally understood that he respected me more afterwards. ”
