Nowitzki wanted to poke his head into the group, perhaps to get a look at how the replay would fall or to conduct a little gamesmanship given the tight time/score situation. Two Sleep Train Arena security guards were assigned to create a buffer between the officials and the players, and one of the security guards got the unenviable task of staying between Nowitzki and the referees as he non-violently tried to wind his way towards the officials.</p> <p><span id="more-31165"></span>Once Nowitzki realized how seriously the security guard was taking his job, he upped his own antics, walking back and forth a little more quickly, gesturing to distract him, pump-faking different directions and then finally mock punching the guard in the stomach. The guard stayed in character throughout, trying to avoid a smile as he shuffled back and forth, keeping Nowitzki at bay.</p> <p>“That’s the best defense Sacramento has played,” the Mavericks announcers joked on the broadcast. “You understand your man not getting in front of you.”</p> <p>Indeed, the security guard showed excellent lateral agility, moving left-to-right and right-to-left seamlessly while avoiding any ticky-tack fouls by keeping his hands behind his back. Bravo for a job well done.</p> <p><em><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130121013955/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bOO6AU7wmM" target="_blank">Video via YouTube user dallasmavericks</a> <em>|
