Could it have happened any other way?
The attribute that propelled Dirk Nowitzki to stardom is the same one that still makes him such an impactful offensive forece at 37-years-old. And on Wednesday night, the Dallas Mavericks legend’s unmatched ability as a pick-and-pop big man made him the sixth-highest scorer in NBA history.
With that last bucket, @swish41 moves into 6th place on the all-time scoring list. Congratulations Dirk! pic.twitter.com/WmBpNnSG1R

Only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, and Wilt Chamberlain have scored more career points than Nowitzki.
Congratulations, Dirk!
