Dirk Nowitzki's Dominates The High-Post Elbow
I posted earlier in the year about having and knowing what your main move is. In that case it was Sam Cassell with his patented baseline fadeaway jumper. When his career is all said and done, Dirk Nowitzki of the Mavs will probably be best known for dominating the high-post elbow. In my opinion, Dirk is unstoppable 1v1 from the elbow. He can pop the jumper or dribble drive even when well defended. Tonight, the Mavs man-handled the Grizzlies and I took a clip of this sequence of Dirk dominating from the elbow,

The High-Post Elbow:
Dirk is a nightmare matchup when it's an isolation set (which the Mavs run a lot of) with him at the elbow. Once he gets the ball there, you might as well count the points. He can shoot over just about anybody and with just 1 dribble can overpower smaller defenders and dunk it from there.

I knew you were going to show him hitting a game-winning jumper.
The only question was which one.

I was going to show the halftime buzzer-beater against Miami in the Finals, but that didn't turn out so well in the end...

why hasn't anyone uploaded the rainbow he hit in game 5? I know in the end it wasn't worth the win but I think people should know that Dirk did not play a bad finals by any means and that shot proves how he played really well in some games.
