NBA: PG-13 over Nowitzki:”He’s unique.”

The season of the Dallas Mavericks is not very successful, but Dirk Nowitzki is also in the 20th season. NBA season still an effective player in attack. After breaking through the next 31,000 points, Paul George of the OKC Thunder paid him respect.

“It’s really special when you think about how he played and still plays in this league,”said George to the Dallas Morning News,”He’s still at the point in his career where we’re scouting the scouting report before the game and trying to find a way to best defend him”.

“Dirk is a special individual – he is unique. The fact that he has reached 31,000 points is great for our league and great for all the young players in the league who have looked up to him as adolescents or are looking up to him. He will go down in history as one of the best ever,”George continued.

Nowitzki himself was not impressed by his latest milestone:”Of course, the big event was last year’s 30,000 points,”Nowitzki said,”but the 31,000 now means that I’m still there and I can score a few points. I’m still enjoying this.”

The Mavericks have only won 19 games this season (45 defeats). Nowitzki, however, is still productive. On average, the 39-year-old scores 12.5 points and 5.7 rebounds. For this purpose, it hits 46.5 percent from the field, 43.2 percent from the three-line line and 90.7 percent from the free-throw line.
