In the above photo, Dirk Nowitzki is reeling from the kind of pain only men know: The gut-punching, deep-sinking feeling that comes right after you get knocked in the nuts. Last Saturday, Golden State Warriors point guard Shaun Livingston got caught guarding Nowitzki on a switch. Mismatched, but not down and out, Livingston resorted to some low-blow tactics to make his defensive presence known. 

Both Nowitzki and Livingston later laughed it off as an "accident," but the NBA has since suspended Livingston for one game.

The play was brought up again on Monday at a Mavericks season ticket holders event at Six Flags. Nowitzki gave a some background info on it, claiming that the ball-touching perpetrator was impressed at the size of his junk: "You know, for a white guy, it’s pretty impressive," Livingston allegedly said. 

Notice how Dirk casually said all of this while openly manspreading. That's confidence.
