This blog is about documenting history as it happens, hence the weekly dates. As the blogosphere continues to expand and develop there are more bloggers and more blogs created every single year. 10 years ago, if I would have told you that we would have the 1st African-American President, Dirk Nowitzki would be an NBA Champion, Championship MVP and reached his 23,000 point milestone you would probably have only believed one of those predictions. In contrast it is currently 2012 not 2002 and Dirk Nowitzki is an NBA Champion, Championship MVP and has reached the 23,000 point milestone. When Dirk first entered the league he was branded the "soft foreign big man with a great jump shot". It was no secret that Dirk had skills as he has averaged over 20 ppg since his third year in the league. He surpassed the heartache of losing to the Miami Heat after being up 2-0 in the 2006 NBA Championship series as he dominated the new look Wade, James, Bosh Miami Heat in the 2011 NBA Championship. He has revolutionized the way a 7-footer plays the game of basketball and has cemented his legacy as the greatest international player to ever play the game. During the times when critics said he wouldn't last or he lost his first championship series Dirk continued to work and believe in himself when no one else did. The hard work has paid off and he has revolutionized the game of basketball forever.
