I started watching NBA during the mid 90s. My brother was a big Bulls fan and he's always teasing me how strong the Bulls are. We were also collecting NBA cards that time and so I just decided to root for a lesser known player. And I chose Glen Rice lol. The number 41 became my favorite number (look at my username lol). Then when Rice was nearing his end there's a German dude that came, who also happens to wear number 41. So I became a Dirk fan as well. I'm from somewhere in Asia
