Jerk Nowitzki srtikes again

I have never been a fan of Dirk Nowitzki. He was the first player to start using the kick move when shooting, where he takes the legs out of the defender in an attempt to draw the foul. But justice was served on old Dirk today when he was given a one game suspension for back-handing Matt Harpring with a closed fist Friday night. Now, I can understand that Harpring can get under a player's skin. After all, Matt is s scrapper, a hard worker, a brute, while a guy like Dirk is, well, a pansy who likes to play in a tuxedo. But it was good to see Dirk sit out a game. This marks the second time in as many seasons that Dirk has been suspended for hits placed on Jazz players. Last year he horse-collared Andrei Kirilenko who had beaten him for a layup. Watch the video.
