In case you were wondering, yes, Dirk is a real German.
Dallas might have wasted another beautiful game from Dirk tonight. Zee German went off for 34 points, 11 rebounds and chipped in 3 blocks to boot.
Maybe Dirk has to go for 40 a night. Or maybe his teammates need to step up. I’m looking at you Jason Terry (5 for 13) and Shawn Marion (4 for 12).
SHAQ RETIRES
First it was Phil Jackson. Now, Shaquille O’Neal. Talk about the end of an era.
Wow.

It’s assumed Jim Tressel will soon follow…

Media, and the online basketball community, is long on hyperbole, and short of perspective.
But last night was an all-time classic.
Dirk Nowitzki was so good, he has forever erased an amazing performance by the young Kevin Durant. It’s gone. Vanished. Like it never happened. Here’s Dirk’s powerful line:
48 pts (12-15 FG, 24-24 FT), 6 reb, 4 ast, 4 blk
Only 3 basketballs that left his hand, and were directed at the rim, missed going in. There are only a few killers left in this league, and make no mistake about it, Dirk is one of them. When he catches the ball in the low post, it feels like a foregone conclusion that the shot’s going in. When was the last time you felt that way?
Greatest “Like a Bosh” ever. FOREVER EVER.

Indeed. Not if you’re Dwyane Wade facing the Bulls though apparently.
