Dirk Nowitzki

“The Mavs MVP this year will be the same as it has been for the last 18 years, Dirk Nowitzki. As Dallas transitions to a more defensive-focused roster, the pressure on Dirk to produce offensively will be heavier than in the past few seasons. And as we know, pressure is nothing new for Nowitzki. I expect the Big German to have another solid season and average close to 20 points a game, and again be the Mavs MVP.”
