Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban speaks to the media after his batting practice for the 8th Dirk Nowitzki annual Heroes baseball game 2019.

Cuban spoke on the difficult challenge of replacing DIrk on the basketball court after the future first-ballot Hall of Famer announced his retirement at the end of this past season.

Cuban stated you can’t replace someone like Dirk because he is the Dallas Mavericks and added you can only continue the foundation that Dirk has laid during his time as a professional athlete.

The billionaire also talked about being nervous about the Rookie of the year award during the NBA Awards in Los Angeles later this summer in which Luka Doncic is the front runner.
