The inevitable “Is this the end of the road?” questions were lobbied at Dirk Nowitzki after the Mavericks were eliminated from the postseason in Oklahoma City last night, and Dirk took no time to dispel any notion that may have seen the last of his beautiful blonde locks and one-legged fadeaways on the NBA hardwood.
