You don't get to 30,000 points without making a few friends.

Tuesday night, Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki became just the 6th player in NBA history to reach the 30,000 point mark. With the 30,000 point club being as exclusive as it is, the NBA pulled out all the stops with the celebration, organizing a congratulations video that featured everyone from Steve Nash, to Ben Stiller. 

 

Some familiar faces congratulate @swish41! #Dirk30K

Nice to see that Nash and Nowitzki can still engage in some friendly teammate banter all these years later. Just make sure you don't leave this video believing that "ball hog" is how you say 30,000 points in German.  

Congrats to Nowitzki on reaching a truly spectacular milestone...although it would've been even more impressive had he done it in the time frame that Ben Stiller had believed he had done it in.
