3. Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas Mavericks
Career Win Shares: 198.8
• Career Averages: 22 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists
• NBA Champion (2011)
• NBA Finals MVP (2011)
• NBA Most Valuable Player (2007)
• 13x NBA All-Star (2002-12, 2014-15)
• 4x All-NBA First Team (2005-07, 2009)
Dirk Nowitzki is not only the lone active player on this list, but he is also the lone international player as well. Nowitzki currently ranks sixth in all-time scoring (29,491), which easily places him as the top-scoring foreign-born player in NBA history. He is also credited for pioneering his very own step back jump shot, a shot which is considered to be one of the most indefensible in basketball history.
Nowitzki re-signed with the Mavericks earlier this summer and will extend his playing days in Dallas through the 2017-18 season. Nowitzki has grown to be synonymous with Dallas Mavericks basketball, which makes it difficult to imagine a more loyal and iconic figure in the future of the franchise.
