In Honor Of Dirk Nowitzki joining the illustrious 30,000 Point club check out the Top 50 Plays of his legendary career.
Пікірлер
That one ring Dirk has is priceless. He could have done it the easy way by leaving Dallas, joining Kobe with LA, or by joining any other superstar to form their own super team but no. He did it his way, and got that sweet 2011 team over the super team of the Heat. He may not have as much rings as the other greats, but that 2011 ring is more than enough to make him a top 10 NBA player of this era. #Swish41DallasMVP

A lot of these plays - aside from the game-winners - are dunks off of textbook fakes... As a defender, how do you not bite on his fakes? If you don't bite on his fakes, he'll swish the jump shot anyway. Dirk's one-legged fadeaway is the second most iconic and unstoppable shot in NBA history (next to Kareem's skyhook), he is the second greatest power forward of all time, a top twenty player of all-time, and his 2011 championship will always be one of the most difficult and celebrated titles in NBA history.

Players will never understand how confidence inspiring Dirk Nowitzki is. There is never a chance when he gets the ball, does a few spins, and fades away with his knee in your face that you question if it will go in. You feel that it will never miss. That Dirk is just too good. His movements are so fluid that you never know if its humanly possible to contort your body at such a steep angle and rainbow all the shots in - just like he does with ease. Dirk's statue will be iconic, and his style and work ethic will be missed by all these younger players.

Man.. I remember their 2011 championship run more than any other runs. I was in middle school and was rooting for the Heat, just like most of my peers who loved flashy plays and highflying dunks. Every possession where he got the ball on the post felt like a sure basket. Most unstoppable fade away I've ever seen. And now, KAT's going around calling himself the greatest shooting big man in the league, lmao.

His play style mimics so much like the black mamba. The footwork, the tough shots, the fadeaway, especially that killer look after a bucket, but in his own fashion. One of the most underrated guys out there in the 2000s

Nice mix of Dirk's old and new plays. I just wish it had more from the all the playoff series v. the Jazz, or Kings , or Garnett's Wolves. Dirk had a lot more plays so by the time he hangs it up, this will be a top 100 thing. #Dirk #LetsGoMavs #MFFL

No. 6 is my absolute favorite. He's got one of the best shot fakes in the history of the game! Seeing Durant and Ibala fly by is golden.
That one ring Dirk has is priceless. He could have done it the easy way by leaving Dallas, joining Kobe with LA, or by joining any other superstar to form their own super team but no. He did it his way, and got that sweet 2011 team over the super team of the Heat. He may not have as much rings as the other greats, but that 2011 ring is more than enough to make him a top 10 NBA player of this era. #Swish41DallasMVP
Tons of respect on him.
Math Simon As a Laker fan, I would have loved seeing Dirk in the roster, but as a basketball fan, would've hated that if it ever happened.

Aragorn Kobe and Dirk both have talked about Kobe trying to recruit Dirk back in the day. Hell, when Kobe and Shaq had their falling out, the Lakers tried to trade Shaq to Dallas for Dirk.....

2011 NBA Finals was the best Finals I've ever watched. Seeing Dirk past his prime on a team that proved all odds wrong destroy a big 3 superteam was amazing. And also Leaked videos of certain KZhead commenting scum will be out later this week

Stopping LeTards Since 2003 .....but that was a mediocre finals bro
Although I wanted the Heat to win that series, I'm happy that Dirk got a ring and it was well deserved as well
Stopping LeTards Since 2003 nah.. that series was not that good. you just loved it because you are a lebron hater and wants him to fail all the time.
Love the respect Dirk and Kobe show each other. Two Legends acknowledging one another
Arguably one of the most clutch players ever. The top 20 or something was all fucking game winners and buzzer beaters man, that's insane.
Most Players would be happy to have his Top 50-41 as their Top 10, but Dirk even got 41 better plays!! Incredible!!!! Dirk
The best international Player ever! Much respect.
NBA Primetime no sir that would be Hakeem the dream!!!
Donald Griggs no it would be dirk..
Why not just say one of the best NBA players of all time?
Donald Griggs, where is Hakeem on the all time scoring list?
hakeem olajuwon
Here because I needed to remember the old nostalgia of watching Dirk play. Best euro player to ever play in NBA period. Future HOF extremely respectable retirement.
Over the last two years I forgot how athletic he once was. Impressive guy! Complete package. Endless respect for the player and the guy he is.
Still can't believe there were people who used to say Dirk wasn't clutch and couldn't hit the big shot. He's been doing it his entire career. Even before he won a championship.
A humble, intellectual, powerhouse with incredible mechanics, insane decision making, a hammer for a right-side drive in dunk, ridiculous 3-pt success rate for a PF, and near unstoppable mid-range pull up and fade-aways.
Dirk did way more dunks than I thought :-) But he's already clearly a legend because of his step back one leg fadeaway. He has definitely to be in the hall of fame!
Man, Dirk could dunk! And how many buzzerbeaters and clutch shots he had. Stunning.
One of my favorite things I appreciate about Dirk is when he swishes a shot it always looks so damn smooth 🧈🧈
He is incredible! I get chills watching this! Hard to believe that Malone was still around in one of these plays, seams like he retired centuries ago, and Dirk is still here!
Getting to 30,000 points and beating lebron in his prime (only time lebron lost with the best team) made Dirk one of the all time greats But I just saw him break a dudes ankles with a high-post pivot THIS GUY IS IMMORTAL
Kudos to all that tried to contest that jumper. You tried valiantly.
Drik is a living legend. Future hall of famer for sure
This nigga made Kobe,KD,Westbrook,Wade and LeHoe his kids in 2011 playoffs.
whats your name btw?
hahahaha
Uvuvwevwevwe Onyetenyevwe Ugwemubwem Ossas yeah nobody could stop him from 2005 to 2011.
He was on a mission .
Dirk, along Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett are the best PF's of their era, and a top 5 in history
Dirk is honestly one of the most clutch players I've ever seen
A lot of these plays - aside from the game-winners - are dunks off of textbook fakes... As a defender, how do you not bite on his fakes? If you don't bite on his fakes, he'll swish the jump shot anyway. Dirk's one-legged fadeaway is the second most iconic and unstoppable shot in NBA history (next to Kareem's skyhook), he is the second greatest power forward of all time, a top twenty player of all-time, and his 2011 championship will always be one of the most difficult and celebrated titles in NBA history.
Only way to defend the fadeaway was to foul, but then again, he was a sharp shooter, i remember Westbrook getting ejected because he cannot stop him and Dirk taunts him non stop. 😂
@@progeniesofthetoiletpaperh6433 i remember that game lol dirk had him so stressed out
I love how his highlights include him scoring on other nba greats...karl malone, David Robinson, Webber, Yao, KG, Bosh, Wade, Kobe...he even flew by and dunked on Vince Carter! One of the most unique players of all time an also one of the best...Miss you Dirk
This dude will be missed in so many ways... A guy who worked so hard that he accomplished the maximum for his career. I was just so happy for him when he got his championship, not only one of the all time greats but a fantastic human being as well, a role model on many levels. All the people in Dallas as well as in Germany will love him forever and he deserves it
The best big man in NBA History. Nobody does it like him, no big man is that athletically versatile, as well as versatile in almost every part of the game! Man, what a blessing to watch him throughout his career! #DirkGOATvitzki
better than wilt and kareem?
Most of these top 50's are CLUTCH!! 🔥
I would never have guessed that Dirk dunked that often, or that aggressively. I didn't get to see a lot of Western Conference games in his prime. Also: Mavs need to go back to those green and blue unis.
It hurt to see 05-07 seasons those were his peak years the most exciting player ever too when he shot it was always lit
Best PF in NBA History , like if you agree!
Maybe not a PF? More like a really tall SF?
yeh fuck tim duncan
Dirk is honestly my favorite player. But hes not better than Tim Duncan sorry.
@@joshharvey4428 i honestly say he is... Yeah defense is not what made dirk be in his prime and hia younger days dirk was never a bad defender dont let these last couple of years were he can bareley walk fool you... And i think dirk could take over games more that tim did and i dirk impacted the game in a way that only the mj's of fhe world did.... He is basically the father of how the game is played today defensively and offensively i think u can defenently say tim had a better carrer but dirk has a bigger legacy and i think he was the better player from the two.
@@senormedia no he was a PF
You can just see that Dirk has been in the game so long he can predict every movement and just hammer those hard shots. That's some serious experience.
One of the greatest of all time! Truly a legend.
Its terrible how so underrated Dirk is or was. One of the best players out there! He brought us a ring even if it was just 1. Dallas LOVES Dirk! And we all hates to see him go but we knew it was coming eventually. There will never be another Dirk. I'm glad to have been able to see him play when I went to the games. It was soooo much better in person then on TV! A true legend. There will never be another like him!

Danke für die tollen Worte, Grüße aus Deutschland.
@@Diego-ox3rgFr. Great legacy passed in 2019 yet at the same time a new legacy was born
I literally get tears i my eyes watching this. When dirk made that and 1 shot against the spurs (nr. 2 in this video) i was about 16 and played basketball like a maniac. I watched that play at about 4 AM live. He is truely a true Hero to me. His personality, work ethic, humbleness, humor, kindness. And yes, i am a little bias cause i am from bavaria, but the other comments here just tell me i am right
one ring is all we wanted in dallas from you Dirk, thank you for all the great memories, you'll be missed when you retire...
Look at his young days athleticism. People putting KP's athletic ability over him but I'm not sure.
Nano Alfonso I'm a Knicks fan and KP shows promise but I don't think he will be as good as Dirk, but I really hope I'm wrong and KP turns out to be Dirk plus some
Nano Alfonso Kristaps is more athletic but dirk was by no means non athletic during his heyday.
Marcus Mc'Donald Dirk moved like a guard in his prime
Dirk was one of the most athletic 7 footers the nba has seen when he came into the league. But KP Is just different because he is the tallest guy in the league so u cant really compare.
KP jumps higher, but in terms of mobility, Dirk is faster. That’s how Dirk scores against his competitions when his post up game was not yet polished, he blows by you then shoots or he just goes straight to the basket.
I love to watch 3 points made by Dirk. The best Euro player of time in my opinion
For all those who said never attacked the rim... Dirk attacked the rim when BB was still physical!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dirk has been such a good player for so long, we can't forget him. He might be going away this year. It might be his last 14 games so appreciate him. Because when he is gone, I don't think there would be anyone else who would be as great as he was for the Mavs. He was the only star in that 2011 championship.
There will always be only 1 Dirk........What a legend...👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This man could pull up anywhere on the court and make it happen. Didn’t matter where he was. Top of the key, in the paint, mid-range, at the FT line. He was never going to win style points or dunk contest, but that’s not what he was about. He was effective. Just a pure ball player and it was a pleasure getting to grow up watching him.
I was never into basketball, even to this day, but i learned how to play because of him
Players will never understand how confidence inspiring Dirk Nowitzki is. There is never a chance when he gets the ball, does a few spins, and fades away with his knee in your face that you question if it will go in. You feel that it will never miss. That Dirk is just too good. His movements are so fluid that you never know if its humanly possible to contort your body at such a steep angle and rainbow all the shots in - just like he does with ease. Dirk's statue will be iconic, and his style and work ethic will be missed by all these younger players.
I don't understand why Duncan is considered by many to be the greatest all-time PF. Obviously his defense was better, but Dirk is the 6th all-time leading scorer in NBA history! One of the most dynamic scorers the NBA has ever seen. There's never been another 7 footer who can make the shots he makes.
Dirk is a shooting guard in a power forwards body
Dirk > KG
Dirk owned KG everytime theu play
@Ahmet Hakan How so? KG was the WAY better defender, much better rebounder and better passer. Dirk was just a better scorer. That's it.
@@belfastbelchan4039 That's just not true. KG and Dirk head to head: *Garnett* : 17-20 W/L 21.8ppg on 51.9FG% 11.5rpg 4.3apg 2.5TOVs 1.2bpg 1.2spg *Dirk* : 20-17 W/L 23.1ppg on 46.7FG% (40% 3pt) 8.2rpg 2.1apg 1.7TOVs 0.8bpg 0.6spg Not to mention Dirk also had the better teams overall in their matchups. So how on earth is that Dirk "owning KG everytime they play"? You just thought nobody would call you on that?
Dirk all day !
Ahmet Hakan you crazy kg was the best player on that Celtics team you don’t know basketball
Undeniably one of the NBA's all-time greats. One of the most unique and talented scorers and one of the all-time best clutch performers, as this video clearly shows. Congrats on 30K, Dirk! #MFFL

One of the good things about being a German teacher is that I get to brag on Dirk. Point out to the kids that, among the NBA's all-time scorers, at #6, between Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain, you have Dirk Nowitzki. Danke Dirk!
#30 would have been one of the all time great shots in NBA Finals history if the refs didn't give Dwayne Wade two free throws to win the game. If the Mavs win Game 5 they probably win the title in 2006.
