Quote:
Nowitzki is in the midst of his ninth straight season in which he will average better than 20 points and eight rebounds per game. Because of the way his career has turned out, and because of the way the Mavs blew their chances during his two best seasons, he may never get the credit he deserves.
“I don’t know if there’s ever been a player like Dirk,” Rivers said. “They run plays for him like we run for Ray.”
Nowitzki is a 7-footer who shoots like a guard, which makes him something of a prototype for the “Stretch 4” that has become so much in vogue this era. But he is so good that he even breaks the mold that he helped create.
