Dirk's early All-Star returns solid

Dirk Nowitzki has made six All-Star teams. He’s never been voted a starter. (He did start last year because Yao Ming was out.) You can vote for Dirk and the other Mavs on the ballot here at mavs.com (where you can win daily prizes) or at nba.com.

Nowitzki is off to a good start this season, currently sitting second among Western Conference forwards. Fans pick the starting five, while conference coaches choose the seven reserves.

Awesome. The year he least deserves it he might finally be voted in as a starter, thanks to KG.
