Aug 27, 2012 01:42 PM EDT

Dallas Mavericks All-Star Dirk Nowitzki was in a social mood Sunday afternoon as he took to Twitter to take any questions his fans wanted answers too.

The most newsworthy response came when the Mavs's superstar was asked how many more years he'd play. Dirk responded with this tweet:

"@DribblePasShoot: @swish41 Your game looks like it will age really well, how many more yrs you playing?" 2 for sure and then see how I feel

When asked why he doesn't just jump to a "Super Team" and try to win a championship elsewhere, Nowitzki replied: "I bleed blue."

After losing the pursuit for Deron Williams to the Brooklyn Nets, when asked if he feels the team the Mavericks have put together can win a championship this season, Nowitzki replied: "I always feel that way."

Among the other revelations from the newlywed:

* He wished Jason Terry well in Boston, calling him "fam for life," and said former teammates Steve Nash and Michael Finley are "My homeboys."

* He prefers red wine over beer, and dogs over cats.

* Charles Barkley is his favorite player from the 1992 Dream Team, and Kobe Bryant is the best player he's ever faced.

* His favorite TV show is "Eastbound & Down," and "Braveheart" is his favorite movie. His favorite bands are the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin.

* If he wasn't a basketball player he'd be a rock star or a painter.
