Outlet Pass: Dirk Starts, Salary Cuts + Fred Schaus

Hooped Up | February 12, 2010

Denver Nuggets coach George Karl has informed league officials that he plans to start Dirk Nowitzki for the West in place of the injured Kobe Bryant in Sunday’s All-Star Game, sources told ESPN.com.

Sources close to the situation confirmed that Karl — who is not scheduled to arrive in Dallas until Friday with the Nuggets playing host Thursday night to the Spurs — will move Nowitzki from the hometown Mavericks into the starting lineup even though he’s obviously not a guard.

Dirk Nowitzki The Unorthodox Dentist

Hooped Up | December 19, 2009

If you can see this, then you might need a Flash Player upgrade or you need to install Flash Player if it's missing. Get Flash Player from Adobe.

First off I feel it’s my civic duty to say, gross! Now that I got that off my chest / keyboard. The Mavericks could be without the services of Dirk Nowitzki, after he lacerated his elbow colliding with Carl Landry’s mouth, leaving pieces of Landry’s broken teeth lodged into his arm. Like I said, gross!

This all when down in the 2nd quarter of the Rockets vs. Mavs game and according to the Houston Chronicle, it took 30 minutes to remove shards of Landry’s teeth from Nowitzki’s elbow. Both players ended up in the ER and did not return to the game. Houston won 116-108 in OT.

Nowitzki and Landry are listed as day-to-day and I just threw up in my mouth a little bit right now.

Disco Dirk Sinks The Bucks

Hooped Up | November 17, 2009

If you can see this, then you might need a Flash Player upgrade or you need to install Flash Player if it's missing. Get Flash Player from Adobe.

Monday Night Football was pretty much dead to everyone last night because much like Dylon, the NBA has been spitting hot fire! Since Brandon Jennings dropped 55, even a Bucks game is must see TV and their match up against the visiting Mavs last night didn’t disappoint.

Even though Dirk Nowitzki sunk the Bucks in overtime at the buzzer, with a fall-away 18 footer on the softest rim EVAH!

Playing against Milwaukee is no longer a cake walk, get used to it.

Dallas Mavericks ‘09-10 Season Preview

Hooped Up | October 27, 2009

Another van glorious season of NBA basketball is about to begin and Hooped Up does a quick and dirty preview of all 30 clubs.

The Mavericks reloaded this offseason hoping their championship window hasn’t closed and that’s why they got Shawn Marion. I would love to be as optimistic (or rich) as Mark Cuban is about this squad, but then I’d be living in 2006. Read More »

Freshly Dipped: Nike Air Max Spot Up

Hooped Up | September 14, 2009

Dirk Nowitzki has a signature shoe that will make you say Wunderbar!

Featuring a predominately black leather upper with minimal varsity maize accents in the form of the swoosh border, perforations in the toe area and the visible Air sole unit. In addition, the mid-foot area and sole are done up in white with the latter area containing hints of sky blue. This colorway is one point and in living color!

Lets hope Nowitzki can rock these bad boys without the league cracking down on their freshness.

More pics of the Air Max Spot Up, after the jump.

Nowitzki’s Ex-Fiancée Gets Five Years

Hooped Up | August 24, 2009

The former fiancée of pro basketball star Dirk Nowitzki was sentenced this morning to five years in prison for violating probation in a 12-year-old forgery and theft case.

Cristal A. Taylor, 38, a St. Louis-area native, appeared this morning in circuit court in St. Charles. She admitted that she failed to check in with her probation officer and that she was arrested twice in Texas in 2000 for misdemeanors.

Taylor had planned to marry the Dallas Mavericks player and has said she is pregnant with his child. She was arrested at his home on May 6 and accused of failing to pay for $10,000 in cosmetic dental work in Texas in 2006.

Nowitzki Wants Custody Of His Kid

Hooped Up | June 19, 2009

Dirk Nowitzki wants custody of his unborn child like now!

Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki wants sole custody of his ex-girlfriend’s unborn baby, now a Jefferson County inmate, if it’s proven he is the father, according to a petition filed last week in a Dallas County courthouse. The inmate, Crystal Taylor, was arrested May 6 at Nowitzki’s Dallas home on a warrant out of Jefferson County for on a theft of services charge. She was served at the jail Monday with a petition to adjudicate parentage. Nowitzki’s name does not appear on the court documents.

This is a good play by Nowitzki because I’ve heard that raising a child from prison with all of the shivs, toilet wine and fights in the yard around can be kinda rough.

Give Dirk his baby lady.

Nowitzki’s Lady Is Stalker-riffic

Hooped Up | May 14, 2009

Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki was not the first professional athlete to have a tumultuous and bizarre relationship with Cristal Taylor. Former NFL quarterback Tony Banks on Wednesday told The Dallas Morning News that Taylor is the same woman who tried to turn his life and career upside down in 1997. When their brief relationship fizzled, Banks said, Taylor began making harassing phone calls to him, his agent and even his St. Louis Rams head coach, Dick Vermeil. Alarmed that Taylor was “trying to run my name through the mud,” Banks notified team security, which learned Taylor had a criminal history and had used multiple identities.
