Community Picks: Memphis Grizzlies 0% vs Dallas Mavericks 0%

Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki was labeled a "soft Euro" by critics early in his career but the grossly misguided perception ultimately fueled the towering German to become one of the NBA's greatest scorers. The label is laughable now considering Nowitzki, already the highest-scoring NBA player born outside the United States, has blossomed into a win-at-all-costs warrior who redefined the power forward position and is closing in on a scoring milestone. Nowitzki is 48 points shy of becoming only the sixth NBA player to reach 30,000 career points, a feat that would put him in the company of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain.
