March 18 (UPI) -- Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki reclaimed the No. 6 spot on the NBA's all-time scoring list with a basket against the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night.
Nowitzki passed Pro Basketball Hall of Fame big man Wilt Chamberlain on the all-time points list with a trademark fade-away jumper in the first quarter. Nowitzki knocked down his first two shots in the opening frame to move past Chamberlain.
