A Dirk All-Star Game Recap

Playing in his 13th All-Star Game, Dirk Nowitzki scored 5 points to go along with 5 rebounds and 2 steals in 12 minutes of action in the West's 163-158 win.
The highlight of Dirk's time on the floor, came when he finished off an alley-oop dunk on a pass from Stephen Curry in the second quarter. The dunk certainly came as a shock as Dirk hasn't converted on an alley-oop in the regular season since 2004.
The celebration was awesome as well, as he pointed to the sky to mimic Vince Carter in the 2000 Dunk Contest. Dirk would also hit a three in the third quarter.
Russell Westbrook was named the MVP, as his 41 points were one shy of the game's all-time record of 42 by Wilt Chamberlain.
In other news, Amare Stoudemire and the Knicks agreed to a contract buyout that clears the way for him to become a free agent. According to Marc Stein and others, the Mavs are considered the favorites to land Stoudemire.
