[AngelEyes]

The man is still a beast. Incredible longevity.

[Milbuck]

An orphan in Milwaukee dies every time Dirk has a big game.

****ing shit****. We should've had him.

[DirkNowitzki41]

still so underrated

[AngelEyes]

Did he pass 26,000 points today?

[DirkNowitzki41]

Did he pass 26,000 points today?

yep. at this pace he will get past oscar robertson for 10th on the scoring list by seasons end

[gin17]

too bad they lost the game..

[RighteousMax]

the best white german basketball player of all time.

I know those are somewhat arbitrary thresholds, but still thought it deserved to be mentioned as fun trivia.

From 1985 to 2013 , only three players aged 35 or more had a game of at least 35 points and 15 rebounds: Dirk, Patrick Ewing, and Charles Barkley. Dirk had the best game score of the three. (Barkley's performance came in overtime.) He's also one of 30 player in NBA history since the 60s to have scored 40 or more after 35. His longevity is shaping up to be up there with the greats.

[Sharmer]

Would take Barkley over him, especially prime Barkley.

[Ratnik]

2nd greatest white player

[Alan Ogg]

Hope he is an all-star.

[howlin_wolf]

For me 2nd greatest PF of all time (t-wolves/garnett-fan speaking).

[GaryRaymond23]

For me 2nd greatest PF of all time (t-wolves/garnett-fan speaking).

Assuming you have Timmy #1, you'd take Dirk over KG, Barkley & Malone?

Personally I'd rank them

Timmy
KG
Barkley
Dirk
Malone

but I'm biased on Malone as I've always hated him.

48.3/39.3/90.8 this year

Hope he makes it to an other 50/40/90 year.
