Dirk on the other hand is the best definition of a class act along with Duncan. He never puts other young players down and use to sit with Diop when he played in Dallas and help his confidence when he got down (which was very often by the way) and I heard this one reporter was lost in the Dallas arena and Dirk took the time to show him around and even offered to answer all his questions when he didn't have too. Last, in the 2007 series against the Warriors Dirk's father was going through surgery on his lung due to a life of smoking and he had to call during halftime of every game in that series and it was on his mind (therefore poor performance) and Avery wanted to tell the media and Dirk told him no its ok. CLASS ACT

Not to mention, Duncan is almost too humble and even gives other great players credit over himself, at times. Those two are the top 2 class acts in the NBA hands down. Dirk is #1 hands down though, I don't care what no one says.
BQ: Do you agree Dirk is the best definition of class act in the NBA and most humble?
