Dirk Nowitzki will wait until the EuroBasket tournament concludes before thinking seriously about playing overseas.
Nowitzki is currently preparing to lead Germany to a qualifying berth in the Olympics, alongside fellow NBA big man Chris Kaman. The veteran Mavericks have largely shunned the idea of playing overseas (or Dancing with the Stars) in favor of preparing to defend their championship. Nowitzki, however, said that he's "too old to sit around for a whole year" and would play overseas if the lockout drags on too long.
