Dirk Nowitzki Makes Media Debut as Prime Video NBA Expert
Dirk Nowitzki, the legendary German basketball player, is set to make his media debut as an expert for Amazon Prime Video at the start of the new NBA season. Nowitzki, who retired from playing nearly six and a half years ago, is eager to take on this new challenge despite it being outside his comfort zone.
Nowitzki, who considers Würzburg his hometown and Dallas his second home, has been a long-time advocate for the growth of basketball in Germany. He recently opened two basketball courts in Würzburg, donating them to the Gustav-Walle School with his foundation and the Dallas Mavericks. His passion for the sport is evident in his delight at the increased attention German basketball is receiving, including its recent coverage on the prominent German news program, Tagesschau.
Nowitzki's enthusiasm for the sport's progress is reflected in his praise for his successors, led by captain Dennis Schröder, who recently won the EuroBasket title in Riga. Despite not having worked in sports or news since his retirement, Nowitzki is excited to dip his toes into media work with Amazon Prime Video. He spoke about his new role at a ceremony in front of hundreds of students and invited guests, including table tennis star Timo Boll.
Nowitzki's new role as an expert for Amazon Prime Video is a significant step in his post-playing career. His wealth of experience and passion for the sport make him an invaluable addition to the team. As the new NBA season approaches, fans can look forward to hearing Nowitzki's insights and perspectives on the game he loves.
