2. There was a time when Dirk Nowitzki was a young, rising star, a guy whose expanding skills were making his team more of a championship contender every spring.
Now Nowitzki is at the point in his career where teammates talk about wanting to help him finally win a ring. Having been to the NBA Finals and won an MVP award, it’s the only thing that still drives him.
His Dallas Mavericks will give it another try starting tonight with the opener of a first-round series against the Portland Trail Blazers and LaMarcus Aldridge — a young, rising star whose expanding skills are making his team more of a championship contender.
While skeptics say the Mavs are too old and too flawed to win it all, Nowitzki’s rebuttal is simply, “I don’t talk to skeptics.”
“We’re playing for a championship,” Nowitzki said Friday. “That’s really the only goal. I don’t know if we have something to prove. If we don’t win a championship, it’s another disappointing season.”
Nowitzki knows all about those. Since blowing a 2-0 lead in the 2006 NBA Finals, Dallas has won only a single playoff series. The Mavs have been dumped in the first round three of the past four postseasons, fueling much of that skepticism. Portland is the chic pick as the bottom seed most likely to pull off an upset this round.
