Dirk Nowitzki is a great person, but now he could finally ask a question that only he hears.

Dallas - Dirk Nowitzki is a big one. During his career in the NBA, he won the award for the best player of the regular season, the award for the best player in the finals and also the most important title: the championship. The legend of the Dallas Mavericks not only proved athletic greatness, but also used his physical greatness. The German measures 213 centimetres.

Dirk Nowitzki together with a giraffe - a question comes to mind

When it comes to height, people far outside the average are allowed to listen to some sayings. According to Our World in Data, the German man is on average 180.5 meters tall. Nowitzki is almost 33 centimeters taller and probably had to make some comments. And finally it was his turn and he was able to ask one of the most famous questions to his counterpart.

He posted a photo of himself on Twitter feeding a giraffe and wrote, "Finally I was able to ask the worst question ever: 'What's the air like up there...?'" In his active time, of course, there were also larger opponents or teammates. In addition to the giraffe, which bends down a little, the ex-basketball player doesn't look so small either.

Even the Sportfreunde Stiller immortalized the question to Dirk Nowitzki in a song

Even Sportfreunde Stiller wrote a hit for the then young basketball player in 2004. The first lines of the song were: "Dirk, what's the air like up there? Dirk, what does it look like from up there?". So it goes without saying that the father and husband have long been accompanied by this "bad question", whether ironic or musical. He will not have received an answer from the giraffe, but he will have received a great response from his followers, all of whom celebrated the picture.

"I think you've finally found someone who can defend your fadeaway," writes one fan about Nowitzki's most famous throw, which can be admired as a statue in Dallas. The photo of the 44-year-old is commented on with all sorts of laughing emojis. "The only animal that's bigger than Dirk," says one follower on Instagram. Nowitzki himself, who unfortunately couldn't follow his Mavericks in the playoffs, is known to laugh at himself and shows it to his fans again and again. (ank)
