Seven feet tall but agile as a guard and armed with a silky shooting touch from all areas of the floor, Nowitzki made his first All-Star team this season at 23, has seemingly eradicated the last traces of basketball prejudice against European imports - that they were too soft to play the NBA's hard-knocks style, that they'd fade away at crunch time, that a lanky finesse players from places like Wurtzburg, Germany were never going to make an impact over the American...
