We're all obviously spoiled by the greatness that Dirk offers up every day but how great is it that every once in a while he still makes you say "wow" like that.
Someone once posted a beautiful paragraph about the experience of watching Dirk shoot the three ball. I can't recall if it was a professionally written piece or something a member here wrote but I think about it every time Dirk lines up from behind the arc. The way it ended referenced the desire to always see the shot just one more time.

If anyone may recall who wrote that or where it is I would love to see it again.
