Can we talk about the absolutely terrible performance KAT put up?
Fouled out in 20 minutes and shot 3-11. MIN love to say "Greatest shooting big man of all time" but it's clear to me KAT shrinks when the going gets tough while the REAL greatest shooting big man of all time consistently rose to meet the challenge.
This is also was why Dirk dragged his teams to the playoffs 5 times in his first 7 years while KAT has barely made it twice. (53 games vs. 5+TBD amount).

14x All-Star, 12x all-NBA, 1x MVP, 1x Finals MVP, 1 NBA Championship: Dirk Nowitzki, the man, the myth, the legend.
