Dirk Nowitzki is the new 2006-07 MVP
Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki awarded as 2006-07 MVP
Our favorite 7 ft. German player gets Most Valuable Player (MVP award for the 2006-2007 season, an honor that no other European has ever achieved before. This was presented to him today at the American Airlines Center. To support him, there were the rest of the Dallas Mavericks, Mark Cuban ( owner of the team ) commissioner Mr. David Stern and Avery Johnson, coach for the Dallas team, whom also participated in an emotional speech singing praises for your majesty; none other than ‘the Dirk’.
During his passionate speech Stern remarked how…“Nowitzki was the only player to shoot better than 50% from the field, 40% from three-point range, and 90% from the free throw line plus averaging a total of 24.6 points a game”… Nowitzki has always been characterized by his humbleness and shyness, for his fierce determination in the court, as well as for being a splendid free-throw shooter and and a sure-fire scorer with all eyes on him.
It is, in a way, a sweet & sour celebration mainly due to the disastrous way in which, during the biggest surprise of the NBA history, the Warriors eliminated the Mavericks in round 1 during the 6th game of the elimination stage for the final phase of the Eastern Conference.
Fans are claiming it is really strange to be giving an award to a Most Valuable Player who won’t even get a try at the finals this year for the NBA Championship, and although it is hard to separate the facts, it is essential to remember that the MVP award is really given to that player who stood out above the rest for showing outstanding work ethics, great drive and unstoppable desire as well as a solid commitment to the sport, the fans, and the team throughout the entire regular season – not just the playoffs - in which they did acquire 67 astonishing victories. Even so, it still rained on Dirk’s parade. I say, give the kid a break, he did a great job and certainly one man can’t save a whole team. There’s nothing to be ashamed of Pal!,… or is there?
I found some of Dirk’s Dorkiest moments on the net and of course, it is my obligation to divert all the focus from the guys’ great skills and all that blah blah and examine the human, dorky and socially awkward “Dirk” moments that are forgotten when an …“iconic, elite athlete”… like Stern called him, steps up to infinite stardom and recognition. Dirk and the MVP title is like that new song with Fergie and Daddy Yankee: I think that when two of those things with almighty power unite, there’s no going back and all there is the infinite and beyond. As a public service, and in an effort to prevent all that fame from ballooning up Dirk’s head and turning him into a ‘playa’, here are his most embarrassing videos (that’ll sure bring him back to earth…just in case ;) :
