Even at his advanced age, Dirk Nowitzki has remained difficult to defend because of his patented one-legged fadeway jumpshot that he has mastered through the years.

During Monday night's game between his Dallas Mavericks against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the 38-year-old German international showed a different version of the shot by banking in a clothesline jumper.

Nowitzki has battled multiple injuries, but has gutted it out for his team this season. He hopes that his presence and leadership on the floor is enough to inspire his teammates to play at their highest level.
