Let’s take a look at the impressive performance against the Trail Blazers and what could have potentially been. Click ‘Read More and Comment’ below to see the rest of the article!
Williams, a 3 time All-Star, is on the same level as Nowitzki. He was a stellar player in his youth but on a slow decline as his age increases. Currently averaging 14 PPG and 6 APG, his averages have declined greatly in the past five years, as at one point he averaged 21 PPG and 10 APG. On Sunday he put up 31 points and 16 assists on 11 for 18 shooting and dominated the passing lanes with 3 steals.
Now what if the two had joined forces five years ago? Both at the peaks of their careers the two could have been an unstoppable duo, possibly on the same level as players like John Stockton and Karl Malone or Steve Nash and A’mare Stoudemire. The show put on by Nowitzki and Williams show insight into what could have been had they two paired up in their younger days. What do you think? Was Sunday a fluke? Would Nowitzki and Williams dominate the league? Let us know in the comments below!
