Watch: Mavs' Dirk Nowitzki immediately drains 2 rainbow 3-pointers after checking into All-Star game

When Dirk Nowitzki was named an honorary selection to the NBA All-Star team, it was a nod to his storied 21-year career with the Mavericks.

But nobody expected him to bring instant offense of the bench at 40 years old.

Upon checking into the game late in the first quarter, Nowitzki immediately drained a pair of deep rainbow 3-pointers reminiscent of his glory days.

Nowitzki added a third 3-pointer in the second quarter, giving him nine points in four minutes of play.
