Nowitzki passes Shaq for sixth on NBA scoring list
Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki passed Shaquille O'Neal for sixth place on the NBA all-time scoring list Wednesday, scoring 22 points to help defeat host Brooklyn 119-118 in overtime. The 37-year-old German sank a jumper over Andrea Bargnani 2:09 into the second quarter to push past the 10 points he needed to overtake O'Neal, who finished with 28,596 points. "He's probably the most dominant big man to ever play this game so it's kind of surreal that I'm up there amongst these all-time greats," said Nowitzki, after reaching 28,609 points for his career.
