In the unforgiving world of professional basketball, very few things can be called timeless. Dirk Nowitzki’s effortlessly majestic jump shot is one of those few. It is absurdly efficient, and each and every shot is a beauty to behold.
Although Dirk possesses a versatile arsenal of weapons, it is fair to say that his jump shot trumps them all. It has elevated him to MVP honours, championship glory and an irrefutable standing as one of the all time greatest scorers.
The Mavericks should be everybody’s go to league pass team this season. At various stages through four games, I have found myself recalling the unadulterated brilliance of their team basketball in the 2011 Finals; the seamless ball movement around the perimeter, capacity to rain in an avalanche of threes, and Tyson Chandler’s electrifying presence.
