One of the best shooters I've ever seen, for sure. I'm typically not a big fan of free throw parades like last night's game was, but when it became clear he had a shot at the playoff record, I actually found myself watching his trips to the line with the same sort of interest I have in watching him do his thing down in the post.
On top of Nowitzki's performance, the other impressive thing about that game was the heart that OKC showed as a team. Down 15 to Dallas, at Dallas, in the 4th quarter, I think a lot of teams would have simply folded and started looking ahead to Game 2. OKC hung tough and kept fighting.
