The fadeaway jumper is NBA Finals MVP Dirk Nowitzki’s weapon of choice. It’s what made him and his Dallas Mavericks champions against the Miami Heat.
In this video, ESPN’s Sport Science breaks down the jumper and why it’s impossible to stop.
With the Miami Heat’s defeat from the Dallas Mavericks in the 2011 NBA Finals, Hitler is enraged.
Apparently, Der Fuhrer is a Lebron James fan even though he is a German like the Finals MVP Dirk Nowitzki.
Of course, the video below is yet another parody of that famous scene from the movie Downfall.
After his team’s collapse in the 2006 NBA Finals, the criticisms for Dirk Nowitzki started coming.
He is not a leader, he is a choker, he is soft, he lacks killer instinct, he is not a winner.
His teams have no difficulty making the NBA Playoffs, yet always crash suffering from early First Round exits three out of the next four seasons after their first Finals appearance.
He is the best European player in NBA history having won the NBA Most Valuable Player Award in 2007, yet, he has no title to validate that.
Coming into this NBA Playoffs, the so-called “experts” are quick to claim another First Round exit for the Mavericks. But Nowitzki and his teammates proved their mettle by winning Game 6 on the road to take the series against the Portland Trailblazers.
