Dirk Nowitzki - High arcing free throw (see description)

[GotBizzyPk]

that is how you shoot, higher the arc, wetter the shot.

[ThugLifeJ]

@GotBizzyPk not true at all. less arc=more wetness. more arc=better shot for most tho

[M4TTBURKE]

dirk! Dirk! DIRK! DIRK! DIIiiirrRRrK!

[Donnx32]

his teammate was screaming DIRK!

[jordanair383]

i thought carlisle was dirks coach..

[portugalrocks9]

@jordanair383 now he is

[PurushaUU]

well actually he didn't raise the difficulty, he made it easier, because the basket "gets wider" using a high arc compared to a lower arc... that aside, go dirk! :D

[timmehXD1]

@PurushaUU you said it wrong, shots harder but percentage goes sky high

[cwille971234]

why didnt they call the timeout

[timmehXD1]

@cwille971234 it was OT, pacers may have ran out of time outs

[chilltown1414]

here's the real situation: dirk was intentionally trying to miss the 2nd free throw but made it anyways

[ImmortalHardOn]

if Indiana had a time-out and he missed that rainbow I would have sat his ass on the bench :D

[Terrell8976]

"this is fake !!! ..... Dirk never misses a freethrow!" lol

[M4TTBURKE]

the guy screaming dirk was too funny

[metabeebott]

taste the rainbow

[TheCjw24]

i dog dislike :)

[niggofcb]

This is fake !!! ..... Dirk never misses a freethrow!

[Danielglenn5]

The announcer is so boring

[Threeballer97]

In shooting a higher shot, he increased the chances for the shot to go a little haywire which would cause a strong rebounding battle, making it more difficult for the Pacers to get control of the ball quickly enough to get a timeout.

@Threeballer97 That's a lot of woulds and maybes.

[Threeballer97]

@hOOdilol ???

Elaborate.

[vMrMysteriousv]

1:09.... who'd have thought Rick Carlile would get fired by the Pacers for having his first and only losing season and go on to bring Dirk and Dallas its first ever championship??

[stephengerondakis]

@vMrMysteriousv That is hilarious!

[michaelangelorayco]

Dirk is awesome! great shooting!

[dimmedwits]

I'm a huge Dirk fan, and love the idea that he intentionally made a more difficult shot. But, is there any chance he was trying to miss it on purpose since they did not have a timeout?

[dhstandard22]

@dimmedwits Yeah I think he was trying to make it miss to let the time run out...that way they would have to heave it since the Pacers were out of timeouts.

[L0rdR4hl]

This had me confused for a second. I saw the old jerseys, Josh Howard and Devon George...and then I saw Carlisle. But then I remembered it was a game against the Pacers. :P

[FcknBang2]

that was like a rainbow,

[nowitzki41icon]

Haha I remember that classic!! Dirk has every shot in the book. Please post more Dirk videos if you can get any
