Sure Shot

They say a picture’s worth 1,000 words. But you only need a couple to win.

While we can’t kill the voters for choosing Dirk Nowitzki as MVP (we did just put him on our cover, after all), that didn’t make the timing of the announcement any less awkward. We know Avery Johnson and David Stern said all the right things when Dirk got his hardware, but what were they thinking? You guys are funnier than we are, so go ‘head and tell us. Whoever writes the best caption will win a dope prize from our vault and get their name in Trash Talk next issue.

    This may be Re-Dirkulous that I won this award, but I earned this a long time ago. This beats ever winning a gold medal in the olympics; here comes a big ass extension!

  • Chris Whalen

    I take this award now, they will all forget all this egg on my face later. I guess Steve did deserve to be back to back MVP. Maybe if I try to give this back, I’ll win the sportsmanship award too!

    Nice suit- $500

    Dirk: I’m the most overrated player in NBA history.

    What was your impression on Dirk winning MVP? You tell us….We’re waiting.

  • Luis

    Well since you got been knocked out the playoffs the first round you have all the time in the world. Lets take a couple pictures.

  • Eric D.

    “Should have waited to pick a MVP after the playoffs! Oh well, this is only gonna be a plastic smile then.”

    Avery Johnson: This is so awkward, i forgot to wear a tie.
    David Stern: Will this guy hurry up, i got more people to fine and suspend. Speaking of fines, where’s Cuban at?
    Dirk Nowitzki: Ah man, this trophy is heavier than it looks. How did my boy Steve Nash do this twice?
    Camera Guy: I mess up one photoshoot (Gary Payton, June 98) and Slam stick me with these clowns…One moment guys, flash is not working.
    All 3: Homer Simpson’s DOOOOHHHHHH!!!!!!
