Knicks owe Dirk Nowitzki a massive thank you
Orlando Magic v New York Knicks | Ishika Samant/GettyImagesOG Anunoby has turned into a long-range assassin for the New York Knicks. Especially from the corners. And Dirk Nowitzki may have something to do with it.
Mike Breen relayed a story on the MSG broadcast during the Knicks’ recent win over the Miami Heat. The gist of it was that Anunoby sought Nowitzki’s counsel on outside shooting.
“I heard Dirk Nowitzki talk about this on the Amazon broadcast,” Breen explained, with around 10:50 left in the fourth quarter. “Anunoby reached out to Nowitzki to ask him about shooting. Every detail. He wanted to know about feet, about breathing, what your eyes do.”
