Youtube: 2001 Mavericks/Jazz - Game 1 - (Nowitzki's 1st Playoff Game)

Here are some highlights I uploaded if you'd like to see how a 22-year old Dirk Nowitzki (20 points, 12 rebounds) and a 27-year old Steve Nash (20 pts, 7 ast) played earlier in their careers, as well as a phenomenal performance by 39-year old John Stockton (12 pts, 18 ast, 6 reb, 2 blks).

Note: For me the video plays much better when viewed directly on youtube.

Classic Malone strip at the end.

 

[Brown Notes]

Malone's hustle still wow's me. He got so many easy buckets just by running harder than his man.

 

[NAOS]

Damn, Stockton's passing still electrifies me. VISION.

Yup that was his patented defensive move. Primary reason Malone was 1st-team all-defense 3 times - and it goes to show you don't have to be a shotblocker to be a great defender at PF.

The funny thing is that I was actually at this game.

Wow. That just takes me back in so many ways. NBA on NBC, Jim Gray, Don and Donnie Nelson-coached Mavs, Michael Finley, non-broken Juwan Howard, Shawn Bradley, 5-game first rounds, Doug Collins still on commentary, Eisley on the Mavs, etc etc etc. Great stuff.

I fail to grasp the humor. explain?

That was a great two-game series. The other three, however, were awful, awful, awful - maybe the three worst playoff games Utah has ever played consecutively.

I still wish ill of Calvin Booth and his family.

I chuckle when I think that this was 10 years ago and I was 16 at this game with my brother remembering vividly the final strip by Karl. It's like a Red Sox fan recalling where they were or if they were at the game where Fisk signaled his home run ball over the big green monster to stay fair while watching it while walking down the 1st base line.

Hilarious.
