Dirk Nowitzki, 2005-06

nERD: 25.1

Nowadays, Dirk Nowitzki is a shell of what he once was. And 11 years removed from his best statistical season, who can say that they're surprised by that?

It was in the 2006-07 season that Dirk clinched his first and only MVP award, but it was the year before that Dirk played the best season of his long, Hall of Fame caliber career. In this season, Dirk averaged career-highs of 26.6 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.0 block a game in 81 of a possible 82 regular season contests.

With his outstanding play, Dirk secured career-best marks in advanced stats like PER (28.1), offensive box plus-minus (5.8) and offensive win shares (13.5). He led his Dallas Mavericks to the NBA Finals, where they ultimately lost to the Heat in six games.
