Who Is The Top Player In Texas This Year
Though many people have different opinions as to who the best player in Texas this year is, a majority of them will say that Dirk Nowitzki. The seven foot German is not only a threat from beyond the arc, but now has a championship ring to back it up. Some Texas fans will also say Tim Duncan or Yao Ming, but the truth is, Dirk possesses skills that nor Tim or Yao have.
Before Dirk won the NBA championship last year, he was already dubbed as one of the best international players to ever enter the league. Now that he has proven himself on the biggest stage in basketball, can he be considered as one of the best ever?
Before you make arguments for Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird, Dirk is definitely one of the best big men to ever play the game. With the shooting touch that reminds us all too well of Larry Bird and a fade away jumper that would even impress Jordan, Dirk will easily go down as one of the top ten players of all time. If it wasn’t for his few playoff blunders in the past, Dirk would have at least three rings by now. Will there be more to come? We’ll just have to wait and see.
