Dirk Nowitzki threw down a dunk to finish an alley-oop from Steph Curry in the second quarter of Sunday night's NBA All-Star Game.
Surprisingly, it was the first time that Nowitzki scored with an alley-oop dunk in 11 years:
Dirk Nowitzki had an alley-oop dunk tonight. He has 9 of those in regular-season play ... his last was in January 2004!

Nowitzki scored 5 points in 12 minutes as the Western Conference beat the Eastern Conference 163-158.
