Ranking every Instagram video of Dirk Nowitzki beating the Lakers

Last night I discovered my new favorite hobby. There isn't a name for it yet but I'm thinking of something along the lines of "Dirk Watching", "Dirk 360" or "The Assassination of Laker Nation by the Hero Dirk Nowitzki".

While I ponder on the name a bit more, let's walk through the rules so you can partake:

Step 1: Observe Dirk killing Laker Nation on live TV

Step 2: Scream at the top of your lungs

Step 3: Text your family that you've found true happiness

Step 4: Get on Instagram and start browsing fan footage of Dirk's game winner

Step 5: Smile forever

Now that you're up to speed, let's POWER RANK the different camera angles of Dirk's shot that were uploaded to Instagram via Lakers Nation.

But before we begin, let's set the stage by diving into the mindset of Laker fans prior to the game.

Fascinating. Now let's get on with the POWER RANKINGS.

1. This dude screamed "NOOOOOO!" as soon as Dirk got the iso on Randle and it murdered me.

2. Great view of the shot and Kobe love. Warm feelings and the dude on the corner of the court just up and left after Dirk got his bucket.

Kobe yelling out instructions to Nick Young. Dirk with the game winner. Dirk and Kobe exchange friendly shoves. Gotta love NBA basketball. #dirknowitzki #kobebryant #dirk #gamewinner #dallasmavericks #mavs #dallasmavs #lakers #losangeleslakers #lalakers #kobe #kobebryant

3. First, shouts to Peyton Manning for being present. Second, shouts to the hero who is reminded everyone around him that Dirk "hit the shot" over and over again. We couldn't have done this without you. And finally, shouts to "Pizza Steve" for having such a wonderful Instagram username.

5."Don't give him baseline!"

That's how Nowitzki does it, can't stop him! Even though I wanted my Lakers to win Nowitzki is clutch. #life #love #lakers #staplescenter #la #purpleandgold #nowitzki #41 #welost #butitsokay

So that does it for the Power Rankings. But before we leave, let's check back in on the mindset of Laker fans after Dirk hit the game winner. (Warning, some language in that video.)

LOVE U, Lakers Nation.
