What’s your favorite Dirk Nowitzki moment?
Matthew: The and one over Manu Ginobili in 2006. The Spurs were the Mavericks primary rivals in the 2000s even if the Mavericks weren’t the Spurs primary rival. This was the moment Dirk first stamped himself as THE best player in the world. He got the Mavericks past the immovable object of the Tim Duncan Spurs and did so on one of the most iconic plays in Mavericks history.
2006 brings up other memories for lots of people and they are not good.
