Dirk Nowitzki: Deadly Step-Back

[kilokool100]

where's dirt now.....

[patrick13324]

so its basiclly a fade away with one foot?

[Tide1988]

at the end

timbeeeeeeeeeeer!!

[sweetchucksono]

i dont know how NBA mess this up, these are fadeaways. You want to see deadly step back look at manu's game.

[OfficialAK4]

@ 0:10 how in the hell are the mavs losing to the bobcats???

[rutheless143]

LOL at the ending

[MrHollywoodswingin]

dirkay SMILESWILLBEHAD Nowitski

[DarinReese]

Dude, it is Nigel Thornberry's NBA playing cousin--Dirk Nowitzki!

[madude04]

once he stops and takes a step back, you know you're screwed

[BlazinGangsta23]

I remember when Odom played for the Lakers

[TriangleGitarre]

@BlazinGangsta23 Man that was a time 

[thetruenumberone]

Thumbs up for Mark Followill and Derek Harper!

[jerbojones]

@thetruenumberone I know man FoxSportsNetwork. Here in greenville Tx Mavs all the way baby!!!!!

[frobrofityfoe]

he looks like a Greek god with that hair

[BardhanProductions]

His stepback jumper is a near-perfect weapon. You'd have a hard time defending it even if you were as tall and Yao Ming and had the vertical of Derrick Rose, according to Sports Science.

[TheGhettosuperstars]

/watch?v=jCbOhe6ymws - i'm better than you

[EISMgrinmars]

my fav part is when he steps back

[pokophkos]

I-N-D-E-F-E-N-S-I-B-L-E

[tylerjackman41]

Dirk Nowitzki = legend!

[inadversityblkops]

@HATERALLNIGHTLONG rofl, me fat? i probably go out more than you kid and work out more than you lol faggot

[Hansinho10]

Dirk should patent this move

[OneNastyNinja]

Dirk is amazing...

[lax703]

dirk is soft. the only reason he makes those shots is because hes 7 ft tall...and he still can barely dunk!

[MorettiSwaggin]

@lax703 that ring and finals mvp trophy aren't very soft

[thetrialshot]

@lax703 atleast he's better than you :S

[instantnoodler1]

no wonder I always get those in in 2k11 and 2k12!

[inadversityblkops]

@dhay okay ill watch him play defense. oh wait, does he have defense?

[inadversityblkops]

cmon we all know dirk nowiitzki is trash unless he has a big guy defending with him like tyson chandler

[dhay03]

@inadversityblkops Yeah because kobe magic, and a bunch of other greats didn't need any bigs to win a championship. Fuck outta here with that logic.

[HATERALLNIGHTLONG]

@inadversityblkops coming from a guy with black ops in his name you overweight cunt fuck

[kimyque]

MVP

[MrJoshua714]

no more championships for dallas..its over bitches

[mangobango2o4]

@MrJoshua714 and im guessing your another band wagon jumper?

[Godzillah1]

@MrJoshua714 I smell a sore loser.

[supremeking1112]

@MrJoshua714 LOL ok buddy

[MrJoshua714]

dallas is whack af thats why they suck :D

[avinmondaze]

It's crazy how so many kids are now practicing this shot on playgrounds everywhere... even Durant and Kobe are implementing it into their game. Dirk is changing the game of basketball singlehandedly.

[Rhyoku]

@avinmondaze The fadeaway jumper has been here for decades, Dirk is simply one of the best at it, but he is definitely not the one who started it.

[SuperJourneyer]

The most clutch player!!! Great shooter and basically un-blockable

[bryanvsmith]

i attended Dirk's ugly shot camp run by his cousins and my fadeaway has vastly improved.

[lebronjames675]

Very good move.

[Stylax2000]

song at the beginning??? please!!!

[fanderskable]

At the beginning

Hi i'm dirk nowiski,from the dallas maverisch

[Rariix]

@fanderskable Your comment had me rolling.

[ScepticalCynic]

@fanderskable

And now you say it in german. Let's see how it sounds. :)

[JakeHenry41KC]

I think its funny that the BBVA bank ad before this video was talking about how team work is how you win in basketball. Then they showd Lebron James shooting a jumpshot. How can you possibly put Lebron and Dwyane Wade in a commercial regarding a "team". Haha how rediculous.

[jolejolevv]

/watch?v=mYcHSmlPCEA My Nowitzki Mix!

[beefhat1]

I have nightmares of that shot

[iiJOSHhd]

Yo like real talk dirk should do a Geico commercial lol, thumbs up if you agree :)

[FreshZerglings]

Dirk showign everybody that you don't neeed to be the most athletic player to be successful in the NBA. All you need is skill, intangibles and hard work.

[gamevirus01]

@FreshZerglings No you need to be a 7ft that can hit jumpers that noone can guard lol

[molonlave2010]

Heil Nowitzki !!!!!!!!!!

[kingchessking]

dirk maybe the best player in the league with the least exciting highlights, but man this guy can flat out play.

[iiJOSHhd]

Ohh crap at first i thought this was a geico commercial :)

[pyrohyro9]

Der Kaiser

[joeywap]

dirk is the best

:)

[mamamee24]

goodluck to your maverich

[Beatsox1993]

@iiJOSHhd Shut the fuck up!

[stygianmessiah]

@iiJOSHhd fadeaways are easy but dirk's one is unstoppable....

[12heha]

@iiJOSHhd Shorts? Yeah, just wash and dry them 40 times.

[desmonrock21]

HOW WOULD YOU BLOCK THE 7'0 FOOTER THAT STEPS BACK AND FADES AWAY?

[pyrohyro9]

@desmonrock21 you don't

[OnRockIT]

Dirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrk Nowitzki!

[ayoitszdavid]

anyone notice the travel at 1;21 - 1;23?

[Sbotticchio]

only god can stop him man

[tbow13gbr22]

can anybody block his stepback?

[Sigmarian]

dirk nowitzki magic man

[TheFawadhussain]

whats the song 0:00 until 1:00 ??

[coolpilyo19]

Im gonna do this to our game vs other schools haha.

[Kevinvuphuc]

Check out the latest KB24 Lakers in my channel.

[fickdichbitte]

whats the name of the song 0.00 until 1:00 ?

[TheHollyshit91]

<3 DIRK NOWITZKI

[blytheskrieg]

i wanna be like dirk. lol

[jbljbljbl1995]

happy birthday dirk:)

[GMnation]

Would be funny if he got injured because of his team mates jumping over him hahahaha.. JUST KIDDING =))

[thetruthis9]

when it comes to the fade away jumper...on the play ground, they used to say "jordan"...now they say "NOWITZKI...!!!"

[dsamoa]

@thetruthis9 no shit he's retired.

[ShameGreen]

future hall of famer

[Thomas222K]

and now he is NBA champ also, great Dirk

[hahyunlee]

dirk is a true champion

[NO9BreesFan]

If you had the vertical of Derrick Rose with the height of Yao Ming, you couldn't block his shot.

[hahyunlee]

@NO9BreesFan thanks sports science

[hahyunlee]

@NO9BreesFan thanks sports science

[Trinity61]

Wade, LeBron, and Bosh each viewed this four times (and uh, Mario Chalmers did once).

[myc013]

@kalehockey well thats what 95% of the league is so get used to it

[w00le23]

Only Chuck Norris can block Dirk Nowitzki Step Back

[MikagamiMenou]

He's my big baby. I love you, Dirk!

Marry me?

[peanutbutterprince47]

seriously, half the people who went for Dallas didnt even like them they just needed a team to banwaggon after Boston,Bulls and Lakers got eliminated. No body likes Miami so no one went for them and when they saw Dirk lighting shit up everyone hopped on the Dallas train .. smh.

[xelalien]

13 people choked while watching this vid

[massacrene1]

Im a huge heat fan and am quite disappointed but i have the upmost respect for Dirk more so than any other player probably. That shot is so freaking deadly. Theres no cover for him individually.

[mandalorian40]

13 people are idiots

[EuBasketballFan]

3 people - LeBron James, Dwyane wade, Chris Bosh

10 people - Miami Heat fans.

[Ijudgm3ntI]

It's ironic that the step back is what won Dirk the championship

[oafee]

damn... jason kidd landed allll over him at the end. get off him jk!!

[goolis23]

Maverishhh? :D

[scmanuel]

that is '' el flamenco '' !!!!!!

[bplatts]

hahahaha he s dirk nowitzki from the dallas maveritch

[stygianmessiah]

lol cheat code

[stuckonautomatic]

When Nowitzki won the MVP 4 years ago his shooting coach Holger Geschwindner said that they are right now on step 5 of 7 to make him a complete offensive player. I think the last two steps were the quick passing out of double teams and the one-legged fadeaway.

27.7 ppg .485 fg .460 3p and .941 ft in 21 playoff games against any kind of defensive assignments thrown at him are truly impressive stats.

[jekoy2132123131312]

@stuckonautomatic well if thats the case, he doesnt need to pass out of double teams, he could just hit the shot, LOL.

[firestoneful1]

Rape at the end of the vid...my om my Jason Kid...TsskTsskTssk

[elvisniperx]

This video has the premonition on Dallas' 2011 Championship. Unbelievable

[75samuel75]

Anyone who makes an argument about the NBA being a better league today than 15yrs ago because players are more "athletic" :

- Kevin Love outrebounds all the jumpers

- 3 MVP trophies for Steve Nash and Nowitzki combined

- Finals MVP for Nowitzki

You can overcome being less athletic if you know how to play basketball. If all you have is your athletic ability, you can't overcome lack of skill. Just ask Stromile Swift or the hundreds of others no-good NBA fakes who can do nothing but dunk.

[marsonfire1212]

@75samuel75 haaaaa! stromile swift...

[XDKFM]

@75samuel75 Darius Miles another one to add on that list he was all dunks and was overhyped.

[scootigger]

I love his backpedal when he knows that ball is going in.!! oh, my.! 

[gerbel47]

Hallo Dirk!Ich gratuliere dir dazu, dass du das NBA Meisterschaft gewonnen hast und der Titel des MVP genommen hast aber acht darauf:Du bist 33 Jahre alt, du bist in NBA seitdem 13 Jahren und Dort hast du alles gewonnen.Im Sommer wird aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach Lockout passieren.Deshalb komm im Europa um 1-2 Euroleague Titel auch zu nehmen!Im welchem Mannschaft?Du kennst sehr gut: nur eines hat Diamantidis...

[Badybego]

@gerbel47 woher kommst du ? :)

[gerbel47]

@Badybego aus Griechenland!

[Aluminiumimmunitaet]

so wheres the "fuck germany nazis" shit you racists?

[SyB3riu5]

@Aluminiumimmunitaet

True. Ich hab mich auch gewundert.

[daBigDen]

fuck ads

[TheAntBlasco]

That explains why they are the 2011 champions

[landline00]

@GaChristianHY And you're telling me that the majority of players in the contemporary NBA are like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant? FYI, I loved watching MJ.

[GaChristianHY]

@landline00 What? I am just implying that someone with BOTH natural athletic ability AND decent enough character (as a result of good parenting) will have the proper direction to maximizing their potential. If someone isn't there to guide these natural athletes from an early age, we'll just have a bunch of draft picks chosen on simply their potential, and these days the majority of players do not reach anywhere near their ceiling. Refer to Mike Tyson and Cus D'amato.

[chakerymedia]

show dirk some likes

[Alpito123]

"from dallas mavrisch" hahaha funny german accent

[Spetsnazish1]

gotta love nowitzki :)

[Mr2pacavelli]

@molonlave2010 unnecessary comment, the germans are no nazis ^^ 

[Mr2pacavelli]

[dilan4me]

the golden boy is gonna get a ring this sunday

[harazhoyle]

I could watch dirk shoot all day..

[jangyjangskie]

i dont know why some still keep on wishing for Nash. Nash is great, love him too, but between him and Kidd, Kidd is the better complement to Dirk's game.

[wobblegook]

wait a second... this guy is just a taller, whiter, kobe... with a better shooting percentage, and a higher rate of game winners...

[molonlave2010]

HEIL DIRK ! 

[chivitajm]

In Dallas we appreciate a turn-around fadeaway one legged jump shot more than a power dunk any day!

[youreachiteach1]

At the end Bogut knows it's going to go in as soon as it hits the backboard.

[DJTrickiMusic]

That shot at the end was fucking insane, the ball bounced in, then out, then perfectly off the backboard, then in again, omglolwtf?

[joffreyrockman]

germans are known for great shooting

[IGrapeDrinkI]

I think Im gonna take my talents to south beach.....to join Dirk and the Dallas Mavs durring their after party on sunday.

[LATQueens]

There are no other 7 footers in the league who can play like Dirk.

[Israfvel]

@LATQueens

Andrea Bargnani? Though, yes, he isn't as skilled as Nowitzki.

[SuperKevinftw]

HE HAS AIMBOT!!!!!!!!!!

[SuperKevinftw]

No tatoos, no culture, no hacks, pure skill

[landline00]

@SuperKevinftw I might actually watch basketball if there were more players like him and instead of housing project garbage.

[GaChristianHY]

@landline00 Funny thing, since both Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant were raised in a 2 parent, middle to upper class means.

[SocraticMind89]

@GaChristianHY yea mj and kobe didnt grow up "hood" thats why there overall games are technically precise.

[backdoorcracker]

@SuperKevinftw german accuracy

[tomlind68]

@SuperKevinftw . no culture? funny comment ... are you american???

[Thaiangel1000]

@SuperKevinftw He is German - they don´t need that shit -

[nash3timemvp]

@SuperKevinftw Whos got on culture dirk???Gee the guys from germany nah that country has no culture has it???that was sarcasm by the way read a book and learn something would you

[joannavyblue]

[UTxHookEM]

reDIRKulous

[Mad4Hats97]

he must be really frustrating to guard!

[mdluckyyme]

@rnzcrlordrgo If you are the real Dirk Nowitzki from the Dallas Mavericks, you can call it whatever you want. You  could have it trimmed in gild.

[rnzcrlordrgo]

@mdluckyyme Yeah I know. I'm just sayin. :)

[weodeo]

@rnzcrlordrgo I think he knows best how to pronounce his own name.

[desiree18ayih]

Check out this feature on Dirk Nowitzki where players around the league talk about his perfect step-back jumper. YOU'RE THE MAN DUDE! :)

[oxygemz]

#LOL @ the end of the video Dirk couldn't handle his all team mate

[spyrolinho13]

come to panathinaikos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[xforcbox54]

Flamengo Shot

[thejeran]

German Moses



[vancecoledotcom]

The shot is incredible for a number of reasons:

1. because of his height, it's nearly impossible to block unless you happen to run up behind him at just the right moment and slap it out of his hands

2. because it's so far behind his head, the only way to stop it is to foul the crap outta him...and he shoots lights out on the free throw line

3. because he's falling away from the shot, it puts him in perfect position to get a kick out rebound for a 3 pointer if he misses or to get back on D

[echoplex89]

dirk = lead singer of nickelback

[smaknae11]

@echoplex89 hahahahha
