The NBA on TNT Twitter account had some fun with a missed Dirk Nowitzki dunk on Tuesday night, and decided to pull off a little troll job on poor Dirk. The account posted a video of the missed dunk which happened Tuesday night when the Mavericks took on the Kings, and Tweeted it directly at Dirk. To top it off the caption read: “Can @swish41 jump over a phonebook?”
Can @swish41 jump over a phonebook 😅? #Shaqtin https://t.co/VxlZarDIKr

Dirk wasn’t about to be trolled without responding, and he crafted a perfect self-deprecating Tweet which is hard not to love.
Yooo. That rim was 12 feet high… https://t.co/fr2SBPXvTl

All in good fun…
