Dirk Nowitzki doesn't care about things like age or time, he just likes getting buckets. He had 40 points in a 132-120 OT win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday, becoming the fourth player 37 years or older in NBA history to score at least 40 points in a game.
He joined Michael Jordan (who did it eight times), Karl Malone (two times) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (four times).
And he did it in style -- staring down this dagger that ended a 14-0 Mavericks run to start overtime and essentially end the Blazers.
Nowitzki is a national treasure.
