"15. June 29, 1998; Dirk’s Arrival – He stepped off the plane from Wurzburg, Germany all of 19 years old. Chili-bowl haircut. Big, gold hoops dangling from each ear. But then Dirk Nowitzki dazzled us inside the Baylor-Tom Landry Center gym. 3-pointers with each hand. And a smooth, flowing stride leading to effortless dunks. The Flamingo Fadeway wasn’t yet born, but just days after the NBA Draft Nowitzki’s star was already rising."

"1. June 12, 2011; NBA Champs – As Dirk Nowitzki made a lefty layup to give the Mavs a 9-point lead in the final minute, I found myself trying to do my job – blog and type and talk – amidst a stream of tears. It was so perfect. In Miami, against the Heat team and player (Dwyane Wade) that negated the ’06 title run. Favorite moment: Original owner Don Carter handing the Larry O’Brien trophy to Finals MVP Nowitzki. Sometimes, if you stick with it long enough, life turns out to be fair after all."

It reinforces all the good things about being a fan. ... It’s black and white. You (the Mavs) won a title. That’s it and no one can say s--- about it.’’ Last edited by dude1394; 05-30-2012 at 08:13 AM.
