Dirk Nowitzki felt right at home during a senior center visit with his teammates.
The Mavericks made a recent trip to Lakewest Rehabilitation and Skilled Care in Dallas on Tuesday to spread some holiday cheer to the residents. With Nowitzki being one of the oldest players in the NBA, he heard a few jokes from workers in the center and his teammates.

Dirk has been in the league for 19 seasons, so he should be used to the jokes already with his career winding down. He’s seen limited action on the court this season with a sore achilles and has even hinted at the possibility of retirement after 2017.
