Most FG made in final 24 seconds of a one-possession game:
Lebron James - 23
Vince Carter - 22
Kobe Bryant - 21
Dirk Nowitzki - 18

Most games with 35+ points, 10+ rebounds in the last 2 seasons:

Avery says "you can give Dirk Nowitzki the MVP right now!"

The easiness with which Dirk scored against OKC was just fun to watch. On several occasions I just thought "one defender on Dirk, thanks for making it so easy for him." You would think, every team wants to copy the Hornets' strategy, but maybe they just don't have the personnel for that. I extremely love to watch Dirk trailing on the fast break and nailing that 3-pointer while in forward motion, that's a tough shot to make. I equally loved his pass to Dampier down low. He's peaking this season. He's reached level 7 or what was the final level of his development program. Awesome stuff!

Can anyone tell me how to start this ESPN video ? ( And how to start the NBA audistream ? )

For me, it would be worth a + rep

You know it has nothing to do with basketball, as one of the comments pointed out. "The people who continue to deny Dirk's greatness have issues that don't relate to basketball. I hate to say it but let's be real. These are the same people who hate on Steve Nash. We know where you're coming from." It is what it is, and won't change fast if ever. Another interesting fact. Game winning shots percentages. Kobe: .250 D-Wade: .275 Dirk: .324. What up?

Anyone have the audio or a link to when Dirk accidentally said BITCH during the post game comments? I heard it on The Ticket1310 but can't seem to find it. It was funny.

Dirk Nowitzki - model of consistency

Dirk Nowitzki: Model of Consistency

Remember when I asked Dallas Coach Rick Carlisle if he thinks that Dirk Nowitzki is underrated? Instead of suggesting that Nowitzki deserves more acclaim than he receives, Coach Carlisle diplomatically praised the media for voting Nowitzki to the 2009 All-NBA First Team--but Hall of Fame contributor/two-time NBA Coach of the Year/ESPN analyst Hubie Brown completely agrees with my take on Nowitzki. Late in ESPN's Wednesday night broadcast of Dallas' 100-86 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder--during which Nowitzki scored a game-high 35 points on blistering 13-18 field goal shooting while tying for game-high honors with 11 rebounds--play by play announcer Dan Shulman asked Brown, "Is it possible that a guy who has been as good as he is for as long as he has been that good--is it possible Dirk Nowitzki is still a little bit underappreciated?"

Brown immediately replied, "Oh, I think so and I've always felt that way. I feel that for what he has accomplished--and even the year that he won the MVP (2006-07), a lot of guys questioned (why) he won the MVP--and yet when you back up the stats and see everything that he did, it is just one of those freakish things that happen that certain players, no matter what they do, no matter how consistent, no matter how overwhelming their stats are, people still do not want to give them the total recognition."

Nowitzki has averaged at least 21.8 ppg for nine straight seasons and is well on course to make it ten in a row with his career-high tying 26.6 ppg average this season. During that time Nowitzki has averaged at least 8.4 rpg each year (he is slightly behind that pace with an 8.2 rpg average so far this season). As Brown pointed out earlier in the telecast, Nowitzki has consistently been an accurate shooter from the field, three point range and the three point line; during Nowitzki's aforementioned MVP campaign he joined the elite .500 (field goal percentage)--.400 (three point field goal percentage)--.900 (free throw percentage) Club, whose members include sharpshooters Larry Bird, Mark Price, Reggie Miller and Steve Nash.

For those of you who think you know NBA basketball (but really don't) and say that Nowitzki is not a clutch player, consider that this season he has shot 55-55 from the free throw line in the fourth quarter/overtime--and remember that his playoff scoring and rebounding averages (25.5 and 11.0 respectively) are significantly better than his regular season scoring and rebounding averages (22.5 and 8.4); for comparison purposes, note that renowned playoff assassin Reggie Miller not only averaged fewer points in the postseason than Nowitzki (20.6 ppg) but that Miller's playoff scoring average is 2.4 ppg higher than his regular season scoring average compared to a 3.0 differential for Nowitzki, who advanced past the first round in six of his first 11 seasons while Miller's Indiana Pacers made it out of the first round seven times in 18 seasons.

With a freak injury sidelining Dirk Nowitzki, the Mavs were reminded of the obvious: They don't want a future without their star.

Nowitzki still leads Mavs with blood, sweat
By Marc J. Spears

Dirk Nowitzki watched the doctor remove bits of teeth from his right elbow, a surreal experience in itself. The doctor stitched up the cut, sent Nowitzki for X-rays then decided he needed to re-examine the wound. So he took out the stitches and probed the gash until Nowitzki screamed. More stitches followed. There was even talk of possible surgery.

The Dallas Mavericks’ injury report stated simply that Nowitzki had a right elbow laceration following his collision with Houston Rockets forward Carl Landry on Friday. This, however, was no ordinary cut. Landry lost parts of five teeth, some of which were imbedded in Nowitzki’s elbow. Landry ended up getting a root canal; Nowitzki sat out Sunday’s victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers and he also might miss Tuesday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers because his elbow is still too stiff and painful.

The doctor “was really scared about an infection, so he went back in there for like 30, 40 minutes,” Nowitzki said. “I was just watching him with his fingers in my hole in my elbow. He had his whole finger digging in there. That was ugly.

“I took as many pain killers as I’ve had in a long, long time. … We did consider [surgery] for a second because we didn’t really know how many parts were in there floating around.”

Nowitzki said he’s at the greatest risk of infection for the first 72 hours after the cut, but is hopeful he’ll be fine.

“With that situation with your franchise player, you always take a deep breath, swallow hard and pray for the best,” Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said. “That’s all you can do when you’re dealing with Mother Nature. So far, the signs are good. This thing isn’t over yet.”

The Mavericks are fortunate to have three days off following Tuesday’s game against Portland, and they obviously don’t want to endure a long stretch without their All-Star forward. Backed by a deep, veteran roster that also includes Jason Kidd, Shawn Marion, Josh Howard, Erick Dampier, Drew Gooden and Tim Thomas, Dallas owns the Western Conference’s second-best record at 20-8. But although the Mavericks did win surprisingly easy without Nowitzki against LeBron James and the Cavs, it’s no secret the franchise’s long-term success still lives and dies with its greatest player.

Nowitzki is averaging 26.1 points per game, 8.1 rebounds and owns the fifth-best efficiency rating in the league. The Mavericks have also raved about him playing the best defense of his 12-year career.

James, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard are the usual names to surface in any MVP debate this season, but Nowitzki has quietly (as usual) emerged as a legitimate candidate.

“He’s 31. People take him for granted,” Kidd said. “He can play big, small, however you want it. When you see those numbers, you just assume that he’s going to give you that on a nightly basis. His team wins, too. It’s unfortunate that he doesn’t get a little more exposure.”

Said Carlisle: “He leads the NBA in plus-minus productivity, so he has the greatest impact of any player in the entire league in terms of when he is on the court.”

James ranked the Mavericks among the league’s best teams after losing to them. And Nowitzki believes this is the best supporting cast he’s had, even better than the team he took to the 2006 NBA Finals. That, however, hasn’t won over some skeptics who believe the Mavericks still need one more quality player to help them seriously challenge the Los Angeles Lakers and contend for a championship.

The Mavericks routed the Lakers 94-80 on Oct. 30, but Pau Gasol didn’t play. And as even Nowitzki admitted, Gasol’s addition is what made the Lakers a title team.

“Since I’ve been here, and this is my 12th season now, this is the most talent that we have on a team from top to bottom, Finals included,” Nowitzki said. “The only problem is the rest of the top teams got better, too. We’re still all mad at Memphis for just trading Gasol to L.A. We’re still mad at [Detroit Pistons president] Joe Dumars for trading [Chauncey] Billups to Denver. It just so happens that the rest of the league and the rest of the Western Conference got better as well.

“I think from top to bottom we’re better than any team I’ve been on here. That’s a good thing. We need some luck down the stretch; we have to be injury-free, but I definitely like what everybody brings.”

Even if Dallas again comes up short in its quest for a championship, Nowitzki likes the makeup of the franchise enough that he believes he’ll be a Maverick for the rest of his career. He could opt out of his contract at the end of the season, but said he hasn’t decided whether it’s in his best interest to even join the heralded 2010 free-agent class. Much like what Bryant did with the Lakers, Nowitzki could pass on free agency with the intention of signing an extension with the Mavericks.

“I figured I’d play this [season] out and see what my options are,” he said. “I really haven’t focused on it much. I’m really focusing on this season and we’ll see what happens at the end, and I guess it will be more of a quick decision.

“I didn’t plan on opting out as of now. But nothing has been done so far. I didn’t sign anything. We didn’t agree on anything. I’ve always said that I wanted to finish my career here because I’ve put so much into it for the last 12 years now that if I just go somewhere and win it somewhere else it won’t be the same. That’s kind of my attitude. I want to make it work here. Whatever we got to do, I guess, we’ll have to do this summer.”

Said Mavericks owner Mark Cuban: “He knows pretty much what the plan is, but I’ll say, ‘Here’s our options. How can I help?’ ”

There is at least one player who could significantly help the Mavericks’ quest for a championship: Toronto Raptors forward (and Dallas native) Chris Bosh.

There has been speculation Bosh could be moved before the trade deadline if the Raptors feel they have no way of re-signing the coveted free agent next summer. An NBA source with knowledge of Toronto’s plans told Yahoo! Sports that Raptors officials are still hopeful the team will improve enough to convince Bosh to re-sign. That didn’t stop Nowitzki from chatting up Bosh when both visited South Africa with the NBA’s Basketball Without Borders program.

“I was like, ‘So, you coming back to Dallas?’ ” Nowitzki said. “He just said he doesn’t know and everything was so wide open to him.

“I think everything right now is speculation. I don’t like speculation. I like to focus on what I got.”

That’s a wise approach considering one substantial obstacle will make it difficult for the Mavericks to lure Bosh if he hits the free-agent market: money. The Mavericks, who are expected to be over the salary cap, would likely either need to persuade Nowitzki to take less money himself or convince the Raptors to do a sign-and-trade deal.

Still, there are no limits, however, on Cuban’s creativity.

“We can be a player,” Cuban said in regards to the general free-agent market. “Everybody thinks its all about cap room. But I don’t think all the guys that are free agents – they’ve been in this league long enough – don’t want to be on teams involved in a rebuilding process. There’s a lot to risk. You want to go to a team where you can compete.

“So it may not be about cap room. It might be about a sign-and-trade. It might be about any other options of different things. We’ve got a lot of different options.”

Their No. 1 option remains the same as it’s always been: Keep their current franchise player happy – and healthy.

Dirk says something along the lines of "can't do it all by myself all the time" and boom, two games in a row with 7 players in double figures, first time for the Mavs in 200 years... I like to believe that all his teammates are willing to go to war with Dirk and except him as their general. This season is full of pleasant surprises so far.

Now... beat LA, twice...!!!

iella · 12-30-2009, 06:05 PM

No question who leads Dallas -- it's Nowitzki

Snippets from Mr. Garcia over at nba.com:

Quote:

Frustration after a game all the Mavs felt they should have won is understandable, and you won't find anyone within team circles taking issue with Nowitzki. Unlike some locales where the message is often lost due to the messenger (see: Charlotte), Nowitzki has earned the right to be heard.

"Communication is key in any kind of profession and honesty is always a positive," Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said. "I think it's great that Dirk speaks out."

While his image hardly screams outspoken, Nowitzki doesn't shy away from speaking his mind. He's done so at the expense of teammates, taking exception with Erick Dampier and Jason Terry in playoff series past. He's publicly questioned the owner, wondering if Mark Cuban would be better off upstairs than causing a commotion courtside. He's chastised the front office for not being on the same page back when Don Nelson roamed the sidelines.

"I maybe didn't do that when I was 20," Nowitzki said. "Now I pretty much say what I want. I pick my spots, but if there is something I have to address, I do that."

The former MVP doesn't confine his frustration to postgame talks with the media. Locker room speeches aren't his forte, but pulling a teammate aside to offer words of encouragement or verbal kicks to the backside are common.

"During the game, yeah, all the time," said J.J. Barea, a Nowitzki teammate for the last three seasons. "He comes to me and says, 'C'mon, lets go.' Individually he's good about that, but not in a group situation before the game or at halftime."

...

Nowitzki joked after the Memphis game that his words from three nights prior mattered little: "Who reads press clippings over Christmas?" He also downplayed his ability to inspire, though that's more about modesty than truth.

There's an old (failed) notion in these parts that Nowitzki isn't a leader. Sure, he's not the rah-rah type, but he doesn't bark just to hear how loud he can get. His message, one way or another, gets delivered.

"He's not a talker. I don't think he's every going to be a talker," Barea said. "He's out there working. He's the hardest worker on the team. He's a leader. He doesn't really have to talk that much."

But when he does ...

I clicked on "SUBSCRIBE TO THE RSS FEED" in the upper right corner of the home page and got to this site: http://feeds.feedburner.com/theunticket .

And there you have it, and if you click "View Feed XML", pretty fast you get an idea which audio-downloads are available. There's a similiar page for theticket-podcasts which I check regularly, but unfortunately most of them are little 6min-soundbits, and very few are Mavs-related.
I'm also not very tech-savvy and don't have a podcatcher or any subscriptions other then a few newsletters, so I don't know why this site seems to focus more on audio-posts than the first one I found yesterday, but maybe that helps you too.
