LaMarcus Aldridge uses Dirk Nowitzki’s signature shot to score on Dirk Nowitzki

The leg-out fadeaway looks good on the Spurs star.

Through three quarters of the Spurs-Mavericks game on Sunday, neither Tim Duncan, Danny Green, nor Tony Parker had made a field goal. But the Spurs still built up a 22-point lead. That was thanks mostly in part to their stifling defense, but also because LaMarcus Aldridge was busy lighting up Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavericks with some Nowtizki-like offense.

If anyone gets to patent the leg-out fadeaway, it’s Nowitzki. Aldridge does make it look good, though.
