LeBron congratulates Dirk Nowitzki for moving up on all-time scoring list
Mavericks: Nowitzki is eighth on the combined NBA-ABA scoring list, behind No. 6 Julius Erving and No. 7 Moses Malone…. “That sounds really good”. It’s a dream come true.

However, this did not stop the Nets’ fans in trolling the 31-year-old DWill as “Wanted” posters of him were hung around the arena. “I wish things were different, I wish it would have worked out differently but I can’t control that and I just move forward”.
Nowitzki made a jumper with 9:51 left in the second quarter of Dallas’ game in Brooklyn on Wednesday night to pass O’Neal.
“It makes ideal sense”, Dallas forward Chandler Parsons said. “As a result, he became one of the first players taller than 2.10 meters to sink more than 50 percent of his shots, at least 40 percent of his three-pointers and more than 90 percent of his free throws over the course of an entire season”.
When Nowitzki passed O’Neal, the Mavericks led by 12 points.
So when Nowitzki was greeted during a timeout with one hug after another from his teammates and coaching staff after he reached the milestone that moved him past O’Neal, Matthews knew this was a moment he would always treasure.
The Mavericks led by 16 in the first half, trailed by 11 in the fourth quarter, and the game went to OT when Young followed Barea’s three-point play with a three-pointer to tie it at 108, then blocked Barea’s shot on the final possession. “It’s just such a tremendous feat by a tremendous individual, and this franchise has been extremely lucky to have him”.
That might be an understatement, as the Nets roared all the way back into the lead with a 34-17 surge in the third, taking a six-point lead into the final 12 minutes.
Boston 102, at Charlotte 89: Kelly Olynyk scored 20 points, Jae Crowder added 19 points and 12 rebounds and the Celtics won their fourth in a row over the Hornets. “We found a way”. “We struggled (Tuesday) night (in Toronto) and took a loss, and now we fly home for four hours and to sit on a back-to-back loss over the Christmas break would have been brutal”.
Asked about it before the game, Hollins said: “I have no comment about Deron Williams and what he says”. That ball’s touching nylon, and the scorekeeper’s adding two or three to the total for the big German.
Dallas shot the lights out in the first half, as they made 24 out of 34 shot attempts, or 70.6 percent, to take a 64-53 lead at halftime.
Barea also preceded Nowitzki’s shot with a 3-pointer at the two-minute mark for a 117-116 lead, setting up the dramatic finish.
Nik Vucevic had 21 points to help the Magic win for fifth time in six games. Nowitzki entered Wednesday’s play in seventh place with 28,587 points, needing nine to overtake Shaq.
Kevin Love added 23 points with 13 rebounds for Cleveland.

Kristaps Porzingis was the Knicks’ best player with 23 points and 13 rebounds. Everybody got their monies worth on that one.
