Dirk Nowitzki - 2006 NBA 3-Point Shootout (Champion)

With a stroke of luck helping him advance to the final round, Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki became the first seven-footer in NBA history to take home a 3-Point Shootout championship with a win during 2006's NBA All-Star Weekend held in Houston, Texas. Nowitzki's final rack money ball in the first round technically shouldn't have counted—he released it after time had already expired—but with no replay review system in place, Nowitzki's money ball DID count and subsequently pushed him ahead of his Dallas Mavericks teammate, Jason Terry. In the finals, Nowitzki outpaced Gilbert Arenas and Ray Allen with a winning score of 18.

Nowitzki made five appearances in the NBA 3-Point Shootout, advancing to the finals each year in which he participated. His results were as follows:

2000: Second Place (Scores of 18 and 11)
2001: Third Place (Scores of 17 and 10)
2006: First Place (Scores of 14 and 18)
2007: Third Place (Scores of 20 and 9)
2008: Third Place (Scores of 17 and 14)
