Two things I was looking at this morning that I thought were pretty awesome.
1) Dirk Nowitzki is now 300 points away from passing Shaq for 6th all time in scoring. That's happening this year, barring injury. He'll be the third 7' to join that group, the only others being Wilt and Kareem. And Dirk did the majority of those outside of ten feet. Amazing.
2) LeBron James is sitting at 19th all-time scoring, at 25,192. He's turning 31 next month. :x . He'll average 25-27 PPG for the next four-to-five years still. He'll supplant Dirk by the time he's 33, and probably hit 30,000 points by the time he's 34.
I don't think he will catch Kareem, but he might surpass Karl Malone if he plays long enough.
Amazing.
Dirk is under appreciated
