Dirk Nowitzki backs down Lamar Odom

When we decided to make a shirt commemorating the All-Star game in Dallas, only one player came to mind… Dirk Nowitzki. Let’s check out his credentials.

- 9 time All-Star
- 9 time All-NBA Team
- 2007 MVP
- Only 1 of 5 players in NBA history to average + 25ppg and + 10rpg in the NBA playoffs
- Dallas Mavericks’ all-time leader in points, rebounds, field goals, field goal attempts, 3-pointers, 3-point attempts, free throws, and free-throw attempts.

Yeah, that’s a pretty long list. It’s amazing that he achieved all this despite everything working against him. He was drafted out of high school from Germany. The Mavericks were widely criticized for drafting Nowitzki and passing on Paul Pierce. He was labeled as the next person in a line of white guys with no skill such as Eric Montross, Cherokee Parks and Shawn Bradley. For years his nick name was Irk – because he had no D.

Pretty soon though, the Mavericks developed into a winning team. With Michael Finley and Steve Nash, they would go on to be a playoff contender year in and year out. After the loss of the aforementioned players, Dirk Nowitzki led Dallas to it’s only NBA Finals appearance in 2006.
