Nowitzki: "Get back to work again" - Dirk Nowitzki Returns to Basketball as Amazon Prime Expert
Dirk Nowitzki, the legendary German basketball player, is returning to the sport after nearly seven years of retirement. The 44-year-old will take on a new role as an expert for Amazon Prime during the upcoming NBA season.
Nowitzki, who previously served as a special advisor for the Dallas Mavericks, has not been affiliated with any organization since retiring in 2019. However, he is now looking forward to his new challenge with Amazon Prime, the new rights holder for NBA broadcasts in Germany.
The former NBA champion and MVP opened two basketball courts in his hometown of Würzburg earlier this year. The courts, donated to the Gustav-Walle School, were a joint project between Nowitzki's foundation and the Dallas Mavericks. Nowitzki sees the recent success of the German national team as a testament to the growth of basketball in Germany and is excited about the future of the sport in his home country.
Nowitzki's influence on German basketball has been significant, particularly in the 2000s. He believes that the upcoming NBA season will be a small turning point for him, marking his return to the sport he loves after a lengthy absence.
Dirk Nowitzki's return to basketball as an expert for Amazon Prime is a welcome development for fans of the sport. His expertise and passion for the game will undoubtedly enrich the broadcast experience for viewers. Meanwhile, his ongoing commitment to growing basketball in Germany, as seen in his recent court donations, is a testament to his enduring impact on the sport in his home country.
