It was just a matter of time until the news finally came. Yesterday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers played against the San Antonio Spurs, and in the process of the game, became 6th on the NBA All-Time Scoring list. This is especially meaningful for the Dallas Mavericks because it means that King James has officially passed Dirk Nowitzki.
Yes, it’s true. The likelihood of Mavs superstar forward, Dirk, joining the top 5 in all-time scoring is very, very slim at this point. Had he played in the Mavs first five games, he would have been able to keep LeBron James at bay a little longer.
