23,000 is easy against the Ersan Ilyasovas of the world

I didn't realize that scoring 23,000 points in the NBA was such a big deal, as in, I didn't know it got headline action on ESPN and whatnot.

Dirk Nowitzki scored points 22,998-23,009 (11 points) in a 102-76 win over the Milwaukee Bucks at the American Airlines Center. I'm sure it was magical. Got No. 23,000 on a free throw, I think.

Nowitzki is the 23rd player in the NBA to get 23,000 points. Again, not only is 23,000 a weird number to commemorate, but it's not the grandest of marks. For example, 25,000 points is nice and even. And only 15 NBA players in history have reached that mark. Dirk will get there soon enough. He should pass Elgin Baylor, Adrian Dantley and The Chief, Robert Parish, this season.

By the way, when do we start the Vince Carter watch? He's sitting at 20,61 ... oh wait, let me add tonight's points ... 20,631 points in his career. Maybe 23,000 is a pretty good mark. Vinsanity certainly won't make it.

Speaking of, some smartass with the Associated Press had this to say about tonight's game:

"The 16 points by Carter were well short of his career high of 51."

Thanks, dick.

Dirk, schmirk. The big story is the Mavs dry humping the Bucks for four quarters. Run. Out. The. Building. How bad was it? Nowitzki played 22 minutes and barely any in the second half.

Roddy Beaubois was extremely effective in 24 minutes scoring 15. Brandan Wright got 13 minutes. The dust was even shaken off Yi Jianlian for six minutes.

Jason Kidd missed another game and he's due back tomorrow night. Why rush? They've got the Kings at home tomorrow. Bring him back against the Los Angeles teams next week.

We need more Roddy, Brandan, Yi and Dom. Party!
