As I was about to walk into Eatzi's, a well-known gourmet deli here in Dallas, Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks was walking out.  Another one of the Mavs were coming out too, but to be honest I'm not big enough of a fan to know much of the rest of the team.  Dirk is the seven foot tall German dude, so it's pretty easy to figure out who he is.

The building I work in is part of The Crescent complex which includes the Crescent Court Hotel.  Since we're only a few blocks from the Amercian Airlines Center, pretty much all the visiting basketball and hockey teams stay here.  A couple of guys in my office apparently literally bumped into Shaq going into the Au Bon Pain in the lobby.

All this may change once they finish the new W and Ritz Carlton nearby.

Game 1 - Tonight - Miami vs. Dallas.  Go Mavs!
