Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki has filed for sole custody of his ex-girlfriend's unborn baby, if it's proven he is the father, according to a petition filed last week in a Dallas County courthouse, the Beaumont Enterprise reported Thursday.

Crystal Taylor was arrested May 6 at Nowitzki's Dallas home on a warrant out of Jefferson County on a theft of services charge. She was served with Nowitzki's petition to adjudicate parentage at the Jefferson County jail Monday, the Enterprise reported.

Neither Nowitzki nor Taylor are identified by name in the court documents, the Enterprise reported. The petitioner is identified as "D.N.," a resident of Dallas County and Taylor as "C.T.''

Taylor's lawyer, Scott Renick, told the Enterprise his client told him about the documents, which were filed June 12 in the 330th District Court of Dallas County by Katherine A. Kinser of the law firm, Kinser and Bates.

"We have to determine the best options, legally, to protect her rights and those rights of her unborn child,'' Renick told the Enterprise. "Our only focus in this case is to ensure the laws of the state of Texas are complied with to protect any and all rights Taylor has in delivery [of the baby] and her rights as a mother."

Taylor is accused of failing to pay for $11,000 worth of dental work in December 2004. She was indicted on the charge in 2006.

Taylor's trial date has been set for July 27. She also faces a 2000 probation violation charge in Missouri.

The lawyers are gonna get paid on this one....

Man, she must of had one f'd up grill if she needed 11K worth of dental work.

My thoughts exactly...

whoa! how much did Dirk spend on bags for her head?

Dirk could pretty much have any girl he wants, and this is his best pick?

Well, I guess we can imagine what kind of dental work she must have had now.

damn cmon dirk - i know you can do better than this!

but you know what - MAJOR props to him for filing for custody of the kid and wanting to be a father to it (assuming that is his plan and it's not leverage to get her to pay for the dental work). Too many pro athletes are deadbeat dads or absentee fathers, nice to see one man up and want to be involved with the kid.

My thoughts exactly...

WHOA!!!! Looks like Dirk could use about 11K for Lasik.

She looks like Reggie Miller

With a horse face like that, the kid is going to be a centaur.

Must run in the family...

Dirk will win custody b/c she won't fight it. It's being reported now that she has three other kids (with three different men), none of whom are in her custody... She's only after money. Gold digger to the nth degree.

She must give the BEST bj's or something to be able to pull that crap off. I mean, she looks like she just came off the set of Quest for Fire or a Geico commercial. WTF are these dudes thinking?

Maybe he just has a thing for Lili Taylor.

I would think that someone that had $11K in dental work doesn't give a good BJ.. unless that work was to have retractable teeth put in.

That is a very good point.

Well, if Dirk doesn't continue his NBA career, looks like he would be a good dog catcher.

As the voice of experience on the topic of crap-ass teeth, $11K doesn't necessarily get you all that much dental work. Depending on what's being done, and who's doing it, that could be two teeth..

Good job by all commenters in this thread.

But wait, there's more!

FBI investigates calls from Nowitzki's ex-girlfriend - ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4273131)

Your girlfriend's a Bigfoot, isn't she, Dirk? Your girlfriend is a Bigfoot, isn't she? That's why the bitch's moustache was so motherfuckin' thick... 'cause you shaved the bitch down and taught her to speak. I know a motherfuckin' Bigfoot when I see one!

Goony goo goo.

That would be like someone shredding a carrot if she scraped those bad boys across the ol shalaylee.

Even then, I'd have to find some way to get past her pakuni looks to even get to the point of a bj.

Where have y'all been? This was news like two months ago (the uggo girlfriend, not the petition for sole custody)...

I wonder if that's what Nowitzki was thinking the morning after...

I wonder if that's what Nowitzki was thinking the morning after...

As opposed to the night before, where he was probably thinking, "Damn, after that I'd like a cigarette, but I'm afraid she'll be spooked by my mastery of fire."

Oh boy, I laughed out loud at this. Nicely done. :lol:

This guy has some real issues methinks...

DALLAS -- Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki told a German publication it won't "be easy to win" his heart in the aftermath of his broken engagement to former fiancée Crista Ann Taylor.
Nowitzki, who is in Germany, spoke openly about his romance with the 37-year-old for the first time to Bild Magazine, which came out on newsstands Tuesday. He covered many aspects of their time together, including how they met and their wedding plans, in a question-and-answer format, The Dallas Morning News reported.
The interview originally was posted on Bild's Web site Monday night.
"In the beginning, I was very down and disappointed, sad and furious," Nowitzki said, according to Bild. "But I made a few steps forward and I think someday I will be over it totally.
"I still want to have a family, but first the wounds must heal. However, I still want to have a few little Dirks running around later. But it won't be easy to win my heart." Taylor, who is pregnant, was arrested on a probation violation and theft of services warrants at Nowitzki's Dallas home in May. She was indicted in 2006 for not paying a Beaumont dentist for 2004 work worth between $1,500 and $20,000, and she remains in custody in the Jefferson County Jail.

He does? Yes, I like Dirk and I feel really bad for him about this entire situation, but I don't see anything in that article that shows "real issues". If you were engaged to a woman and then found out that she was a total fraud, do you think you would fall in love with the next one as easily?

I don't see issues either. I would think the same way. I'm guessing I would be a little more guarded even more so if I had his public profile and bank account.

Was really just referring to the girl...

I'm not sure how what you bolded in the article points to her being unattractive, but whatever...

She actually is pretty close to Dirk on the attractiveness scale. I mean, if he didn't have $$$$ I could easily see a guy like him with a girl like that.

Obviously a pooch kick considering the amount of downfield coverage he has.

He kicked her? Well, in that case, he deserves whatever he gets.

Guess she was just fat...

Nowitzki acknowledged in multiple interviews this offseason in his native Germany that he knew the St. Louis native as "Crissy Travino," with Taylor claiming to be of Brazilian heritage.



You know what the code words "Brazilian heritage" mean? Spider monkey.

That's racist. Insert .gif here.

Technically, I think it's specieist. Until we discover centaurs, sasquatches or Cro-Magnon tribes living in the Amazon, we have a limited number of cross matches to Ms. Taylor's possible kin. But racist? Girl in that mug shot is paler than Karlifornia's .signature.

And I never stooped so low as to compare her to Lili Taylor.

Centaurs are real, my friend. Due to possible surveillance I cannot elaborate on this, but trust me... they are real. And they are sex fiends.
