Career Averages: 21.7 Points, 7.8 Rebounds, 2.5 Assists
Honors: 1x NBA Champion, 1x Finals MVP, 1x MVP, 13x All-Star, 12x All-NBA selections
Dirk Nowitzki is one of the greatest scorers the league has ever seen. He currently ranks 6th all-time in the scoring charts. While big men shooting 3s has become common now, Dirk was an anomaly when he started off. He often drew comparisons with Larry Bird for the same reason.

The crowning moment of Dirk's career came in the 2011 NBA Finals as Dallas took on the heavily favored Miami Heat. The Heat led by the Big 3 of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh was expected to blow by the aging Mavericks but Dallas shocked the world, as Dirk outplayed James and Wade in the clutch to win the series in 6 games. He finally got the title which had eluded him for so long and solidified his place among the greats.
Dirk recorded his season in the 50-40-90 club, in 2006/07 when he put up 50.2 - 41.6 - 90.4. He won his only MVP award that season. He missed out in 09-10 and 05-06 as he shot only 48% from the field.
