The comparisons between Dirk Nowitzki and Kristaps Porzingis may never subside. Both stand at 7’0″ or taller, shoot with legitimate 3-point range, and come from a country in Europe.
On Monday, November 7, a new conclusion was drawn: they can match one another shot-for-shot.
The highly anticipated clash between Nowitzki and Porzingis lived up to the hype. Both players exceeded 20 points, battling until the very end of the Dallas Mavericks’ 104-97 road victory over the New York Knicks.
According to Ian Begley of ESPN New York, Nowitzki is all aboard the hype train after seeing Porzingis up close and in person.
