         Quote of the day: “It is undoubtedly the backbone that had the greatest impact in the history of the NBA, it’s a bit surreal for me to be alongside big names like hers” Dirk Nowitzki admitted after passing Shaquille O’Neal in the ranking of the best filmmakers in history. The German, 37 years old, still has a way to go to reach the 5th place occupied by Wilt Chamberlain with 31 419 points. The MVP of the season 2006-2007 is nearing the end of his contract with the Mavericks in 2017 but considering playing until 2018 with the Texas franchise with which he won the NBA title in 2011.
