Dirk has the power to have me watch that 8 minute video... all while I had no idea what they were talking about.

Heh, I was very confused by the date of 3.12.2011 for about 30 seconds. Silly Euros.

4:20 : The glasses guy and the surfer are the right-wingers appearing on german popular TV, what unfortunately only few people know, because they play their roles as nice guys 100 % perfect. Surfer mentions, Dirk would have many black comrades, and how he is recognized. White would not be the appropriate colour for Ballers. And how he is recognized by his teammates. LOL

This. I'd listen to Dirk speak any language all day. I will say that the cadence of his speech seems very similar in both English and German.

The bottom line is that i effing love this guy...let's just hope that he plays well into his mid forties.
PS:
I know it's not groundbreaking, new stuff - but hey...sharing a good story about Dirk can't be a bad thing.

This is great. +rep for sharing.

During an interview 5-6 years ago he was asked what songs he was humming before free throws. When thinking about the answer someone in the back shouted "Hasselhoff" and Dirk said "Yeah". So it was not like he was that huge Hasselhoff fan humming his songs, but it was a suggestion by someone else and he just went along. Funny.

The coolest thing about your job has gotta be that you are on a name basis with a local sports legend.

There's an Ebay auction for the right shoe of Dirk Nowitzki. This shoe was worn and signed by him in this summer.
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=330655808707
And it's for a good cause, the "Dirk Nowitzki Charity".

Someone must make a gif of Dirk's face when he sees Helga. Priceless.

Actually, his acting seems to be better in German - he speaks with ease and comes across a little more naturally... Although the quality of the commercial might have something to do with it too - most of the acting we see him do is for the NBA, which has low production value and is usually shot in very few takes (often only one).

No one with half a brain labeled him a "choker".
