In the bustling city of Hamburg, the German women's basketball team is anticipating a surge of enthusiasm during the EM group stage. Frieda Bühner, one of the team members, shares a hopeful sentiment, "It'd be totally boss if Dirk dropped by and we managed to snag a win in front of him!" This statement suggests a potential visit from basketball legend, Dirk Nowitzki, a man synonymous with German basketball greatness.
A year prior, Nowitzki, then 45, graced the front row of a women's basketball game during the Olympic Games in Paris. Regrettably, Germany ended up losing to the hosting nation, France, in the quarter-finals. Frieda expresses a desire for a different outcome this time around, "It'd be rad if he could witness a victory from us this time."
The basketball icon, Nowitzki, expressed his faith in the German team even amidst certain absences. In a survey by Fiba Europe, he tipped Germany as the potential European champion[4]. Frieda, the 21-year-old powerhouse, resonates with his sentiment, "Thanks Dirk—I reckon he's onto something."
