Dirk Nowitzki: From MVP to Under-the-Radar Superstar

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:50:02 +0000

Let's go back two-and-a-half years to April 2007. To the objection of many (myself included), Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki appeared to be a mortal lock to win the MVP award. (Steve Nash had the better season, and actually deserved the award more than he did in the previous two seasons that he had actually won it, but back to the relevant story.) That season, Dirk averaged 24.6 points and 8.9 rebounds per game. While these are stellar numbers, Nowitzki had better numbers during each of the two seasons prior. Nowitzki essentially won the award by default, as he was the best player on the best team. The Mavericks had just finished the regular season 67-15 as they headed into a first-round playoff series with the Golden State Warriors. Shockingly, the 67-win Mavs came out and were baffled by the high-energy Warriors, and lost the series decisively in six games. Dirk's numbers for the series: 19.7 points, 11.3 rebounds per game. After that series ended, Nowitzki was awkwardly ...

Dallas Mavericks' Fab Four Point Guards Leading the Way

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:49:23 +0000

Even as the Dallas Mavericks have made it deeper and deeper into the playoffs in recent years, they've had weaknesses at two key positions; some might say THE two key positions. Center and shooting guard have been two holes in the Mavericks' game, and one would argue having a superstar at either position is the quickest way to a championship. I've already discussed the Mavericks' center woes, and believe you me, I'll get into that more as the season progresses. Now let's take a look at what the Mavericks are doing with the shooting guard position. For next year, my secret hope is that they land Joe Johnson, but once again, we'll have to get into that later. Let's look at what the Mavericks are doing this year. They have four point guards on their roster (Jason Kidd, JJ Barea, Jason Terry, Rodrigue Beaubois), and only one true shooting guard, Matt Carroll, who won't be seeing much of the floor this season. The original plan was for a healthy Josh Howard to start alongside Kidd, Marion, ...

A Dirk Departure Destroys Dallas' Destiny

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:47:59 +0000

The LeBron talks, Wade talks, and Bosh talks have been the main course of next year's offseason, but like every other restaurant menu, there are always the supporting dishes. In this case, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce, and Amar'e Stoudemire are solid players that make this cast of free agents shine. But if there is one player to make a silent splash this coming offseason, it would have to be the 7'0" forward Dirk Nowitzki. Being a veteran in the NBA for 11 years now, Nowitzki has been a part of the Dallas Maverick organization ever since he was drafted. Many questioned his ability, but he seemed to flourish quite smoothly. The Dallas Mavericks have seemed to successfully keep Dirk Nowitzki in a Dallas uniform and this offseason’s priority appears to bring the same situation. But with many teams on the rise, including the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Washington Wizards, general managers will be hunting for big time players to help their squad reach the next level. Dirk Nowitzki is one of many ...

Can the Wizards be the new Mavericks?

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:31:06 +0000

The Washington Wizards are 2-7 and Flip Saunder points out that the Dallas Mavericks had a similar record last season, but turned it around, finished the season with 50 wins and advanced to the second round of the playoffs. After starting last season 2-7, the Mavericks won their next five games against New York, Charlotte, Houston, Memphis and Indiana. The Wizards' next five games are against Cleveland, Oklahoma City, San Antonio, Philadelphia and Miami. So, there isn't any let-up. But they did get some encouraging signs as Randy Foye returned to practice on Tuesday, joining Antawn Jamison, who practiced for the second time this season. The Wizards' core group is finally intact for the first time since the regular season began. "Ooh, it felt good," Foye said of the mood in practice. "You could see the bounce and the pep in everybody¹s step, like, 'Here we go. Everybody's healthy. Let's
