Dirk Nowitzki, Rougned Odor trade playful jabs on Twitter

Texas Rangers, Dallas Mavericks

Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor is in the middle of serving his seven-game suspension for punching the Toronto Blue Jays' Jose Bautista last month, but that doesn't mean he's out of the spotlight.

While we're not sure if he has partaken of the free barbecue offered to him by a local restaurant, he did spend part of the Rangers' off day hanging out with another local sports star, the Dallas Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki.

Nowitzki commemorated the occasion with an amusing tweet as the two re-enacted that infamous punch.

Sure, Nowitzki is no stranger to scuffles on the court, like one earlier this season with the Los Angeles Clippers' DeAndre Jordan. But he probably doesn't normally have as much of a height advantage as he did here.

Meanwhile, Odor is eligible to return to the Rangers lineup on Saturday.
