Congrats to Jason Kidd & Dirk Nowitzki!

Jason Kidd, who began last night’s game against the Celtics was tied with Michael Jordan for second on the NBA career list for steals, had three against the Celtics to push his career total to 2,517. Kidd is also second in career assists.

“Listen, every week we’re going to have records broken with the guys we have on this team. It’s like a legends team,” Carlisle said. “Jason Kidd’s career has been amazing. Think about 18 years, almost two decades, of top-notch excellence.”

Nowitzki scored 26 points with season-high 16 rebounds while moving into the top 20 on the NBA career scoring list, and the Mavericks never trailed in an 89-73 victory over Boston on Monday night.

“I always say that it’ll be great to look back (at milestones) when my career is over. Right now, I feel better and got to keep it going,” Nowitzki said. “Ever since I took the week off, I feel better and I’ve been moving better. I’ve got to keep attacking.”

A night after scoring a season-high 34 points against the New York Knicks, Nowitzki moved to No. 20 on the NBA scoring list with seven points in the first quarter against Boston. That pushed him one past Hall of Famer Robert Parish (23,334), who played 14 of his 21 NBA seasons for the Celtics.

After finishing with his 26 points in 31 minutes, Nowitzki’s career total was at 23,354 points. All of those have come the past 14 seasons, all with Dallas. Nowitzki, who is set to play in his 11th consecutive All-Star Game this weekend, also eclipsed 1,000 career blocked shots.
