Dirk slander not tolerated

15 YEARS AGO TODAY...

Dirk Nowitzki drove in the game-winning left-handed layup in Game 2 of the 2011 NBA Finals to even the series at 1-1!

[Pitless @pitlessball]

Dirk Nowitzki on this day, 20 years ago (2006 WCF, Game 5):

50 PTS, 12 REB, 3 AST, 1 STL, 14/26 FGA, 5/6 3PA, 17/18 FTA, 74% TS

[HoopsHype @hoopshype]

Dirk Nowitzki won more games without star help than any other player in league history. He's even ahead of LeBron.

Now you know that.

Today bitch

What life we had.

[Kenny Bybee @KennyBybee]

I can’t believe what Nico has done to my psyche and sports soul. I’m at such a level of indifference with a new season about to get underway and a generational superstar set to debut in the colors I’ve bled for 33 years as a fan.

It’s just really never going to be the same.

Josh Howard & Dirk Nowitzki (2007)

Leading Scorers By Zone, Last 25 Years. What jumps out?

All-time bad decision. Lowe is the best thing about ESPN's NBA coverage. This illustrates ESPN's strategy—doubling down on hot take artists and letting go people who actually know/care what they're talking about.

Ringer should break the bank to have Zach lead their NBA coverage.

[Jason Gallagher @jga41agher]

Letting go of Zach Lowe right after you lose Woj and JJ Redick is an all-time baffling business decision.

[Isaac Gutierrez @byisaacg]

If Zach Lowe doesn’t deserve to be employed by your company then no one does. It’s like month by month we’re watching the company that used to define sports media wither away into nothing of substance

Dirk Nowitzki had undoubtedly one of the toughest NBA title paths of all time.

With no other All-Stars on his 2010-11 roster, he was able to defeat:

🔸8 eventual Hall of Famers.
🔸9 NBA All-Stars.
🔸The defending champion Lakers.
🔸The Oklahoma City Thunder big 3.
🔸The title favorite Miami Heat

Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Pau Gasol, Brandon Roy, LaMarcus Aldridge all eliminated by Mavs.

One of the best to ever lace them up.
