The two C's

It wasn’t exactly American Idol, but Dirk Nowitzki and Devin Harris were the big winners in voting for the team’s captains. The team and the coaching staff each had their separate votes and in both cases Dirk and Devin prevailed.

Avery Johnson said both were serious about earning the leadership positions.

“Dirk, first of all, didn’t want to give up his captaincy, so that was a good sign,” Johnson said. “I was hoping that would happen.”
