About time to have a thread fully dedicated to Super Dirk. Post old and new photos, articles, videos, breaking stats, funny and curious stuff, etc about the once called German Wunderkind.
I'll start with last night's game (91-111 for Dallas over the Nets), where Dirk scored 34 pts and became the Mavericks' all-time leading scorer with 16.644 pts in 743 games. The previous record holder was Rolando Blackman with one less point in 865 games. Since entering the league in 1998, only Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson have more points.
What he had to say:

As of right now, we’re just trying to get back on track."
The shot and the celebration that earned him the all-time scoring lead:
