It's great to have such a likeable guy like Cardinal as your 12th man. If he doesn't help on the court, then he can at least contribute off the court and be a reason why our team chemistry seems to be so great.

Bavaria Munich Basketball Team is interested in landing our beloved Dirk.
" I´d fly to Miami to pick him up ", Bayern-pres Uli Hoeneß said ( sportbild.de, 2/22/2011 )

Read that a couple of days ago and seriously wondered whether he thought that Dirk played for Miami. Hoeneß is obviously more connected with the club's soccer department.

Yeah but since what happened to them today in the German Soccer League he might consider shifting priorities a bit

I like this Dirk mix, mainly because it goes to 720p and looks good in full screen. That's pretty rare for an NBA mix on Youtube.

When did Dirk stop sporting the goatee? I noticed it a while back but kept assuming he'd grow it back but it looks like he's going for the grown look.

From the Thaddeus Young postgame...a reporter asked...
"Talking about Dirk Nowitzki...not only does he hit tough shots but it looks like he just WEARS YOU OUT trying to guard him."
http://www.nba.com/sixers/video/2011...301mov-1576525
Heh...

I've also noticed that with a decent coach and a stellar point the Dirkster is taking up position in the post much more than before as well. Nice catch by mr. hoops addict...
http://www.opposingviews.com/i/nba-a...ues-to-improve

NBA Analysis: Mavs Nowitzki Continues to Improve
Opinion by Hoops Addict
(21 Hours Ago) in Sports / Mavericks
Dirk Nowitzki has one of the best resumes in the entire NBA. He has led the Dallas Mavericks to ten consecutive NBA Playoffs, including a Conference Finals appearance in 2003 and an NBA Finals appearance in 2006. He is also a ten-time NBA All-Star and ten-time member of the All-NBA teams and is the first European-born player in NBA history to receive the NBA Most Valuable Player award.
While known as a perimeter scorer for most of his career, this season Nowitzki has started to expand his game and a large portion of his touches on offense (27%) came come out of the low post.
“I think that is part of what every player strives to do is get better at one of the things they haven’t done in the past,” Jay Triano told HOOPSADDICT.com. “He’s got a big body and he’s got a high release so if he can get the ball down close to the basket against smaller players it’s a great mismatch. I think that teams have tried to do is try to put smaller players on him when he’s on the perimeter and he’s found a way to exploit it when teams go smaller against him.”
Or, as his head coach Rich Carlisle pointed out, sometimes we just pigeonhole players and don’t realize the ways they have grown or evolved as players.
“Guys that are great shooters tend to get tagged as just shooters,” Carlistle explained to HOOPSADDICT.com. “Tim Duncan is a great post player but he’s also a terrific shooter but since he was such dominant post player for many years everybody refers to him as a post player but his outside shooting is one of the things that has really expanded his game.
“We look to get Dirk different places in the post, on the perimeter moving around doing some things or putting the ball on the floor and making some plays. Because of how defenses play him – they try to get physical, they try to get him out of rhythm – we’ve got to keep moving him around and keep changing the looks.”
When asked about getting more touches in the post Nowitzki told me it due to taking advantages of mismatches when smaller players are trying to guard him. In essence, he shrugged off my question and wouldn’t give me any insight.
Jason Kidd, however, couldn’t refrain from cracking a joke about the idea of a seven-footer finally working out of the post.
“I think we have to remind ourselves and him that he’s seven-feet,” Kidd told HOOPSADDICT.com while smirking. “Everybody talks about how well he shoots the ball but he’s seven-feet and the closer he is to the basket the easier it is for him.”
Nowitzki working out of the low post could be a combination of his growth as a player or maybe we’re just taking notice of an added dimension of his game.
Or, as Kidd simply put, maybe the big guy is finally starting to use mismatches against smaller players to his advantage.

Thank goodness for Carlisle here..

RC is SPOT on. Dirk has been working in the low-post effectively for the past 4 years or so. Yet every year you'll see this same exact article.

Longshots to win the MVP..
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/6...nba-mvp#page/7
Quote:
Every year, there is a solid, defendable argument for a player like Dirk Nowitzki to win the MVP.
Dirk isn't having a spectacular statistical season. He's averaging 22.8 points per contest, his lowest scoring output since 2003-04. His rebounds—at 6.7—are the lowest they've been since his second season in the NBA in 1999-2000.
Dirk is on the court less than 35 minutes per game and he's only recorded 10 double-doubles on the year.
So how is Nowitzki a MVP candidate?
For one, he is shooting a career-high 52.5 percent from the field. More importantly, his Dallas Mavericks are 44-16 and riding a seven-game win streak.
Dirk missed nine games this season. That number is equivalent to the number of losses the Mavs have suffered with Dirk on the floor. In his absence, the Mavs are 2-7. With their star, they are 42-9.
If the MVP is given to the player who is most valuable to his team, Dirk Nowitzki will win.
He's well deserving of that distinction.

ugh this "dirk's climb up the career point list" list is going to be a pain soon... Once Allen passes Drexler, there will be 3 active (which means always changing #s on my list).
