I wonder why nobody mentions Dirk Nowitzki on this forum?

Everybody talks bout hobe, T-mac and Iverson but nobody mentions Nowitzkis great games in game 1 or game 3 of the mavs vs. blazers series. Aren't 46 points and 42 points worth to be mentioned? He also had a very good shooting percentage in both of the games.

Because he doesnt have any fans on this board. There are alot of Kobe fans and haters, and there are T-Mac and Iverson fans, therefore there are threads pertaining to them. I don't think I have seen any Mavericks fans on this board. There is also Duncan, Pierce, Marion, Kidd (etc.) and others having solid games as well that don't get mentioned.

i think the nba is kinda of biased in a way...when ever kobe,iverson ,mcgrady etc shoot the lights out,its all over espn and other sports shows but for some reason or another nowitski gets little attention..i think it has alot to do with how he scores all them pionts,they aint flashy dunk type plays..

@ D-menace yea he's german but Idon't like him just because for the fact that he's from germany like most of the folks over here do I like him because he's maybe the best foreign b-ball player of all-time. I saw him play over here when he was 19.

greatest shooter ever????????? thats 1000000/1 longshot homie

he is hella good though, I think he just aint flashy enuff for highlights...there is lots of players like that

take Paul Pierce, he lost the rookie of the year award to Vince Carter cuz Carter can dunk better......Peirce was a way better all around player...........but he didnt make highlights every night


an espn has to show Yao, that could be about 2 billion more tvs that are watchin sports center in china

Everyone mentioning his not-highlight performances is on point. I do think his image has something to do with it also. I don't know that him being white or foreign matters (maybe it does) but I think if he was black (or any race) and a gangsta type player with an attitude he would get alot more attention. Pierce is also a good example of a solid player not getting alot of attention. These type of players need to bring their team to conference championships and/or finals to get known as a great player.

I think it'll be very hard again for Dirk this year to get to the conference finals because I think the kings will stop Dallas again but it'll be a great series.
