At the tail end of Dallas's playoff run, the live-in girlfriend of Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki was arrested for violating parole. Speculation abounded that Dirk had hired a private investigator to look at his girlfriend's past, which turned up news that she had warrants out for her arrest. The 37-year-old woman, Cristal Taylor, later told the media that upon being booked in jail, a urine test revealed that she was pregnant -- and she claimed it was Dirk's child.
However, Nowitzki's lawyer told ESPN that a court-ordered pregnancy test has found that Taylor is not currently pregnant. No one knows whether Taylor miscarried or if she had never actually been pregnant. Dirk's camp maintained that Taylor was not pregnant with Dirk's child. (That belief might have been betrayed by the fact that Dirk filed for custody of the alleged unborn child in June.)

As I`ve said before, Sgt. Harrison was not Shaq`s father, but raised him. Madonna has adopted a boy and girl from Malawi in Africa. A LOT of folks care about little kids, regardless who conceived them, and, unfortunately, a LOT of folks DON`T care about little kids, regardless of who conceived them. Which is what Shaq thinks was the case for him, one of his raps is "Biological didn`t bother". So it is no shock to me Dirk offered to raise the kid even though it turns out there wasn`t a kid to raise. Dirk doesn`t need to have had sex with the woman, and have guessed the kid could have been his. All he needed was to see the woman was likely to spend years in jail, which has since been ordered, and that the kid needed SOMEONE. Hell, even old folks like me still need someone, though I am not bucking for Madonna, much less Dirk, to take custody of me. Unless maybe it would be mutual custody, me of the cute lady(s), as well as the cute lady(s) of me. Maybe then. Dirk just tried to do the right thing. It shouldn`t be held against him as if he did the wrong thing previously and is merely trying to atone. We don`t know that. Now he should develope a low post game, and his team should add a starting quality co-post to reward him!

It'd be worth it to file the custody papers just on the off-chance this lady was actually carrying the child. At least he'd be able to show that he took action as soon as he heard of the possibility - might help his chances to keep the (perhaps nonexistent) child out of her crazy clutches.

It is a blessing for him. He would have been tied to this woman for the next 18 years.
Find a good woman!

How do you spell Relief!!!! Dirk is obviously a standup guy, however, I don't believe he was going to raise a child that was not his - he thought Crazy was pregnant with his child. Lucky Guy - I bet he won't make the same mistake twice -at least, I hope for his sake.

Like I always say just because a women, whom you are not married to or in a commited relationship tell you she is pregnant, you should never jump the gun and think you are the father. I have seen so many times on the Maury Show that "YOU ARE NOT THE FATHER" LOL. So many guys think they have these women under wrap that they wouldn't look at another guy. They are so wrong as it is proven. It is so sad that when tragic happen when a famous person get someone pregnant and they feel the only way out it to kill the woman. They don't really know 100% it is their childor not . They do or have someone to do is horriable crime thinking they are going to get away with it and end up spending a very long time in jail without freedom and wealth. I say have a DNA first, if it is your child be a man and take care of your baby who is a little you anyway

I had to stop reading when you mentioned the Maury Show. If you want people to pay attention to what you say, don't mention stupid shows like Maury, Springer, etc....

I hope Dirk can get on with his life and forget Cristal Taylor--she is bad news. Dallas is full of great women who could help him to live a great life.

Could someone please explain why the Buffalo Bills are hiding Dick Jauron's illness. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out when a person loses a ton of weight and wears a winter jacket when it's 90 degrees that something is wrong. Why not let the fans know what is happening. What a sad organization they have become.

Wow, Lucky for him he dodged the bullet of being connected to that garbage for life. Now he can have a fresh start with someone decent, and have drug free babies.

ohh I am so happy to hear the news. Dirk as been such an inspiration to the Maverick teams and such a role model to those kids who persue a career in basketball. It's been said many times that " bad things can happen to good people", and I truly believe we can all see that as true here. Although I know feelings are involved I hope this will allow Dirk to focus on his career, and a true love will eventually come his way.
