Dirk Nowitzki posted a photo of himself on Twitter feeding a giraffe. He wrote, "Finally I was able to ask the worst question ever: 'What's the air like up there...?'" The German man is on average 180.5 meters tall and is almost 33 centimeters taller than the animal.

Even the Sportfreunde Stiller immortalized the question to Dirk Nowitzky in a song in 2004. The 44-year-old is known to laugh at himself and shows it to his fans.
