Eron Ramadanov: Dirk Nowitzki

“I could be cute with this question and pick someone unconventional, but this question is a no brainer for me. If the Mavericks want any hope of making a title run this season or to be at the top of the Western Coference, Dallas needs Dirk Nowitzki to be 100%. For the last few seasons when he’s healthy, Dirk Nowitzki has proven that he can play at a high level and carry the Mavericks to the playoffs. For the Mavericks to be successful this year, Nowitzki has to emerge as our most valuable player.”
