After Game 7 on Sunday, Victor Oladipo of the Indiana Pacers texted his trainer right after the game asking when they start because he wants to take his game to the next level.

Some players might want to just digest the loss and then get away from the game for a bit before returning to train for the upcoming season, but Oladipo wants to get eve better so next time he's in the playoffs, they win in Game 7.

Inspired by Oladipo's text, Dirk Nowitzki decided to follow in his footsteps and text his trainer asking when they start preparing for the upcoming season.  Nowitzki's trainer's response was much different, though.

Definitely not the response Dirk was expecting, but it made for a hilarious exchange that everyone can enjoy.

Even if his trainer thinks he should have retired a long time ago, Dirk is returning for a 21st season and we're sure he'll be ready to go like he always is.
