Dirk Nowitzki is one of the greatest scorers in League history. Last season, he became just the 6th player to tally over 30,000 points in the regular season. A terrific shooter for a man his size, this has helped him develop a near unstoppable fadeaway jumpshot, which is difficult to contest because of his height.
Dirk won his only MVP in 2007, averaging over 24 points along with 8.9 rebounds and in the process, put up his only 50-40-90 season.
His finest achievement, however, is winning the 2011 NBA Championship against a heavily favoured Miami side boasting Lebron, Wade and Bosh, in six games. Dirk outplayed Lebron and Wade in the clutch moments as Dallas pulled off an extremely unlikely upset.
