Congrats to Dirk for making yet another All-Star team, proving that your jump shot is the last thing to go. At first glance as of late, one would have no idea Dirk was 35 years old and in the middle of his 15th season in the NBA as the great German machine ranks 12th in scoring this season. Dirk has led the Mavs to a surprising 27-21 record as they sit tied for the eighth seed in the Western Conference. As Dallas fights to remain in the playoffs, Dirk and Monta Ellis head the front of offensive talent that continue to destroy opponents night after night. Dirk may not have many years left in his career, but it looks like he is determined to go out with a bang.
