Dirk Has At Least 2 Years Left

DALLAS (CBS SPORTS) Dirk Nowitzki is 34 years old. He's played more than a thousand games. He's been in the league 14 seasons, won an MVP and won an NBA title.

He's a sure-thing Hall of Famer, probably the greatest international player of all-time, the greatest Dallas Maverick of all-time and has an argument for greatest power forward ever.

How much longer does he have it in him? At least two more seasons, and maybe more.

In a Twitter Q&A with his fans, Dirk was asked how many more seasons he plans on going. "2 for sure and then see how I feel," was Dirk's answer.

Why two? Probably because that's how many more years he has on his contract (along with $43.6 million on it too).

Dirk was also asked "why not just jump ship to some 'Super' team?" and his response was, "I bleed blue."
