The Dallas Mavericks have all but locked up a playoff spot in the Western Conference, and barring an epic collapse, they are also locked into the seventh seed, setting them up for a probable first round matchup against the Houston Rockets or the Memphis Grizzlies.

With playoff seeding not really a concern, the Mavs can afford to rest some players and also have a bit of fun before the postseason gets underway. That is exactly what star forward Dirk Nowitzki did during a recent interview when he was asked about his run-in with Shaun Livingston a few days ago.

Livingston was guarding Nowitzki during a recent game, and in the course of playing defense, his hand went to a rather sensitive area of Dirk's. Livingston earned a one-game suspension for the crotch grab, but it is clear that the big German does not harbor any resentment over the incident.

Dirk made it clear that he believes that the crotch grab was a total accident, and he even poked some fun at Livingston when he was asked about it, saying that Livingston told him, "You know, for a white guy, it's pretty impressive."


And if that was not enough, the Mavs also went out somewhere recently that had a carousel ride, and Nowitzki is apparently a huge fan of them.
