NBA Star Dirk Nowitzki Is Scum ... Not

The blogosphere pounced on NBA star Dallas Maverick’s Dirk Nowitzki after he chose not to support his ex-fiancé after her sordid past was revealed.  He was vilified as some ‘jerk jock’; a guy whom bailed on his pregnant ‘wifey’ in her most desperate hour, when she needed him the most.  He let her and his unborn child rot in jail.  She was fine when he was sleeping with her but now that she has a few problems she isn’t good enough.

 A few problems?!

Some even implied some sort of racist conspiracy theory since the woman in question is a person of color.

Nowitzki took all of the barbs and attacks quietly and through his representatives stated that he wanted custody of the child since the mother is likely to spend the next several years in prison.  But the venom did not cease.

Now a more complete picture of the woman’s past is coming to light.  Felonies, misdemeanors, probation violations, 20 aliases (even the name he knew her as was false), children that she never disclosed ... starting to get the picture? 

Everyone has a past, but Damn!  That’s quite a bit to expect a man to swallow and keep down.

In my opinion, this more accurately depicts the reality of professional athletes, both male and female.  They are constantly targeted by unscrupulous individuals for unsavory reasons, most of them financial.  They are verbally harassed, dogged by the paparazzi and nit wits with video cell phones then forced to endure all manners of less than accurate innuendo reported by the media.

Just because they make a fortune for playing a game, it gives someone, everyone the right to malign them at will?  And they should just shrug it off and say thank you?

Professional athletes have moms, dads, children and feelings just like everyone else.  They get hurt and offended by the seemingly never ending torrent of hate directed their way.

And you’re surprised when on occasion they don’t want to sign an autograph, while their eating?  An autograph that commonly gets sold on eBay, anyway.

Oh yeah, one more tidbit of information.  Dirk’s ex-fiancé lied again.  The bunny didn’t die. She’s not really pregnant ... not even a little bit. 

Where are all of the people publicly apologizing to him now?

Nice to see a different perspective on the situation. Apparently, Dirk should have just bankrolled her way through the legal system and cleaned up her messes simply because she was his "concubine." Taylor was never a victim, despite her numerous attempts to portray herself as one. She was a gold digger out for a huge meal ticket. Why people took pity on her, God knows. Good work.

Dallas must be a Jackson alias. Only he would think knowledge of an issue and knowing someone involved was a bad thing.

Thank you, Dr.B.

What difference would it make whether or not the doctor had treated DN?
You people pick up on every negative thing that you can fabricate.

If by "blogoshpere" you mean one guy on Huffington Post with an axe to grind and an unwillingness to face the facts, then yes the "blogosphere" did pounce on Nowitzki.

Thanks to the author and Huffington Post for presenting a fair representation of the facts. Also thank you for allowing the subject to be written about by someone in the athletic industry and not some guy with an opinion and an unwillingness to face facts.

Let me guess. Have you ever treated Dirk in your profession as a sports doctor? Well there you have it.

Bravo. Well done.

His real problem is a tendency to disappear when the playoffs begin. He can't handle someone playing actual defense.

[nowitzki41]

Uhm, no to all of that. Whom you have in mind?
Anyhow, you're not getting paid to write nonsense like that like JW is, and you're trying to talk basketball, so I'm not mad at you. Can't take you serious though.

[Nommo]

The results speak pretty much for themselves. You need only look at the stats if you don't see it in the game. Since you don't know me, the question of "taking me seriously" is moot.
But you might want to learn a thing or two about the game. Come playoff time, your boy does the disappearing act.

[Nommo]

Well, if you actually know anything about the game, the results speak for themselves. It is one thing to make the playoffs, it is something else altogether to survive the playoffs. Ask Mark Cuban who screamed at Kenyon Martin's mother last year. Except for the one year Dallas made the finals, the pattern has been the same. Clamp down on Nowitzki and watch him self destruct. He can't handle playoff defense and he certainly can't play any.

I, for one, am hoping that you ain't betting on Dallas. I will also say that Dallas will never get the hardware as long as Cuban and Nowitzki are in the mix.
