Dirk #1 in scoring per 48 at age 36

[R.I.P.]

Shooting 55/49/83. Struggling a bit from the free throw line. :lol

[Smook A.]

You know you're a great FT shooter when you're 'struggling a bit' while shooting 83% from the line :lol

[DirkNowitzki41]

goat? :bowdown: :bowdown:

[Collie]

Dirk is so ****ing good.

[TaLvsCuaL]

We will miss so much players like Duncan, Dirk or Kobe, and really really soon.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Top 15 all time
top 10 most skilled ever and arguably GOAT shooter

[Akrazotile]

Dirk, Duncan, Nash, Kidd, Ray Allen... all still played like beasts at 36. Really impressive. Shows an intelligence and maturity that some players simply dont have. Quite remarkable. :applause:

[bdreason]

Not trying to hate on Dirk here... but there's a reason older players don't play big minutes. You can't just extrapolate his scoring over 48 minutes. :oldlol:

[Budadiiii]

That's really all the guy can do at this point. His D is non-existent and he's never been much of a play maker.

But hey, it's all about shooting percentages. Dirk = GOAT

If only Dirk could shoot 36 percent while playing no defense and taking the most shots of anyone in the league. THAT would be alpha as fck!

[ArbitraryWater]

Too much appreciation needed here :bowdown:

well its better than doing all of that while shooting 40% and chucking

[cuad]

Dirk > Kobe?

[WallIn]

'Struggling a bit' 83% :oldlol:

Legend

[miles berg]

The guy is averaging 20 ppg in 27 mpg.

He is freaking amazing.

Here are all 15+ ppg scorer who played more than 4 games

Dirk is the most efficient one and only Cousins scored more per 100 possessions.

Dirk is very tall and a great shooter. His game is best kind of game for longevity. Not surprised he's lasted this long.

Kobe :facepalm

[AintNoSunshine]

But Kobe has GOAT longevity somehow

[IncarceratedBob]

83 is kinda sad.

I make 98% of my FTs in the gym and this professional can barely do it at 83?

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Diggler at it again. Good to see the German age gracefully. :applause:

Yea...his efficiency would go down playing 7 more minutes a game. having said that though...his scoring and rebounding would go up.

Dirk at 35 minutes a game would be putting up something like 25/7/3 58% TS...

He'd wear down in the regular season and that wouldn't be good, but when he's healthy like this on a good team. Dirk is still elite.

He does get absurdly good shots in this offense though. He can't create nearly as well as he used to offensively one on one or late in the clock.

Dirk is far more dependent on having a good team around him to get his points and efficiency where it is. Which is fine, but needs to be mentioned that he's on an absurdly good offensive team right now.

2nd GOAT PF.
