Dirk was HIM. That one legged Dirk fade is so iconic.
Is Him. All combined he still has one good leg..Natural great human beeing. Playing the game the right way.
Never thought I'd see Dirk on kickin it
Should be hoop in it now 😂
Facts only reason I’m watching this
Such a rare personality, we are very proud of Dirk and Klopp over here, showing the world, Germany is also situated in 2024 and not 1942.
Wow, that was emotional. I felt it 😮
Absolut!
Germany doesn't have to show the world nothing. If the world is interested then visit Germany or Google it
My little story about Dirk. I went to a Warriors/Mavs game at Oakland Arena back in the early 2000s. Me and my friend went to the loading area where the visiting players go to take the bus after the game. There were about 30-40 fans waiting to see the players, especially Dirk. Dirk came out and went around and signed autographs/take pics with every fan who wanted one before going on the bus. Chatted with everyone and was super friendly. Just seemed like such a humble, nice guy.
As a Dallas sports enthusiast and soccer player, Thank you for this! I remember Clint at the Dallas Texans soccer club. Dude took Dallas boys to another level.
Has always been one of the best interviews in the NBA, well spoken, thoughtful, humble, respectful, and funny. A true role model. ❤
Thank you Kate for getting Dirk on the show. That was a brilliant watch.
Awesome episode. Dirk is the most important athlete in Dallas history, surprisingly even over any of the Cowboys.
Have you ever heard of Troy Aikman 🤔
@HamidRahimi-gr6lb u mean that mediocre QB who was carried by his teammates to some fine results in the NFL? :-)
@@kalpeti1 read that again.. Dirk not Dak
@HamidRahimi-gr6lb Troy is beloved. Dirk is the most popular athlete in Dallas .
The Playmaker is the Favorite of The 90's Cowboys . Been a Fan since the Ice Bowl. So yeah Dirk is Dallas
@@frankmaitland1254 I answered Hamid, not you ;-)
I am so proud to have Dirk representing Germany. He is as real as they get, I am not a fan of the word grounded but I feel the Dirk you see and hear in interviews is the real one. I mean the comments on Rooney's hair and KG and MJ cussing, he can say those with a smile but keep it respectful and truthful at the same time. Together with Timo Boll from my sport table tennis the best sports ambassadors we had the last 25 years, pure class.
dude came as foreigner, retired not only as a legend but one of the icon of Texas
Didn't know they recorded in Dallas. great episode w/ the GOAT!
Amazing human and player of course. What he achieved also with Germany was unheard of. His made them medal champions without having any crazy good team players. His standing ovation in the 2005 Eurobasket finals against Greece is still unforgettable for me.
WOW. What a suprise. Dirk Nowitzki. Wunderbar, dass Kate Abdo eine Verbindung und Liebe zu Deutschland hat. Deutsche Sportler sind so viel lockerer, entspannter und haben mehr Spass, wenn sie von englischsprachigen Interviewern befragt werden. Diese neue Seite kennenzulernen finde ich super interessant. Danke dafür! 🙏
Kudos to Kate. I believe and feel that she brings the best out of her guests/speakers mind and personality out. She is one of the greatest in the field imo
WOW! Kate Abdo impressed me! Perfect german really...perfect! 👍
...high football knowledge....
...and a nice side effect, her looks! 😎
She also has perfect Spanish and perfect American and British accents. Truly amazing
@@acpliego
No she`s really a WOW! Coincidently I saw her UCL show with Henry, Carragher here on YT today.
TY, greets from Vienna 😎
@@acpliego She doesn’t’ do a perfect English accent. That is her accent 😂
@@Gavsy1874 lol you're correct
Best 47min i've seen on YT in a while!
Man, I miss watching Dirk play so much. What an absolute legend!
Dirk created an iconic shot. The 1 legged fade away step back
Man, Dirk is such a great dude. What a great chat to get to know the man behind the nastiest fade-away shot ever! 🫡
this was an incredible interview
Thanks for the amazing interview
That’s why he’s the goat! THE GOOAAT
I’m going to say this - I’m not even a soccer/football fan but I just enjoyed this conversation tremendously.
It was dope.
The Iconic Dirk! 🙌
Fun fact: Nowitzki is still Registered in the sport Club for Tennis in his hometown
This was a nice listen
MY GOAT!
There will never be another Deuce in my heart Dempsey
Playing and loving hoops and footy this a win, especially on a Wednesday morning.
kate is incredible....you can _always_ get a hug....😊😊😊
Dang they got Dirk!
Love you Dirk
Loving this ❤
he is very well spoken.
Clint got the fade tan line. Man got the freshest cut for the show
Dirk will always be a Dallas Legend. We love him here and he has a ton of respect in the NBA world. He’s too humble to say it but he used to cook KG back in the day too lmao
Texas Goat!!! King Dirk!
🔥 football n basketball 2 best sports in the world
LEGEND
25:15 😂Just great! Olympic village:
The swedish girl team next door; brasilian Volleyball team next!
COACH: We are out!
Gotta get Steve Nash on the show
Kate, love hearing you speak German 😍
wonderful kate introducing my main man dirk to the show, i love this! amazing people, the amount of appreciation and respect across the group is fantastic.
Legend! So awesome seeing him on kickin it... Also, doesn't he sound like Jurgen Klopp with an American accent? 😂
love dirk
The gawd DIRK
Feel like it is important to mention that the club fees especially for kids are very little. You pay like 100 bucks for a year and get to play any sport including practices and league organized games for that. And if you are on social programs the state will cover the cost for you. It is affordable for everyone
How you don't talk Germany National Basketball Team? They win the FIBA world 🌎
Thats so cool! I dont really know the dudes except Dempsey, but I never knew Kate Abdo knew some basketball.
Im a simple man, I see Dirk, I like.
I could see him going the same route as Jerry West after his career ended.
Super nettes Gespräch , thanks a lot.
Dallas LEGEND
hopefully for Dirk Germany has a WC game in Dallas
Please get Marco Belinelli....please. Salut from Würzburg Dirk’s hometown.
Love Kate Abdos' accent adjustment when she's stateside.
I absolutely do the same thing wherever I am in the world.
Totally subconsciously too.
We're just parrots.
Ngl the mix of the German and texas accent is hilarious
Dirk sounding more English than Kate at this point !
Dirk is the man 🙌🏼
Good guy…not the best but hey…the best from GER❤️☘️love MJ for ever
Legend
Does her accent change in this episide?
His only weakness in character, being a bayern munich fan ^^ greetings from germany
Steve Nash would be a Spurs fan 😂😂😂
They weren't shite when he started supporting them
@@kb5509he supports spurs because that’s the team his family supported. He has English roots
Dirk was the one that made Lebron look Mid while Miami was the Galacticos and Dallas was Burnley
"ronaldo like the hey hey look at me" 😂😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆😆🤣
Cold hard truth bout the narcissist tryhard 😆😂🤣
it makes sense Dirk would be a "messi guy" given his personality.
@@patrick4662not even close. I can‘t think of a similar personality in football
@@tylerscott445Messi and Pele both far far better. A case could be made for Cruyff, De Stefano and Maradona
Honestly tryhard, yes and he did it so hard that he became one of the all times greats. He's a top 10 easily
@Kushagra.j for me it's messi then Maradona then Pelé
why cant one marry Kate? She's just perfect😮💨❤
Came her for Dirk and Kate speaking in german
Keep the cross sport guests coming.
As she started talking german I was Irritated af 😂
ITS CALLED FOOTBALL AMERICA!☕
Get Steve Nash on this!
Haha. Dirk did not really understood that one question. You have to pay to play in a German Sportsclub- Verein. A membershipfee. it should not be more than 15 euro / 12 Dollar for kids even less. it has nothing to do with commercially offered teams that make promises to parents and take all theis money. that american system is utterly insane and clearly inferiour for everybody involved. anonymous investors in that system might make intrest or even profit. FOr anyone else this is negative. Ahhh also -- obviously kids from rich parents that would not be the top players in their region if facing natural / proper competition .
In Germany they don't took it very seriously when I was member in soccer club. After the first season at the age of 6 my parents didn't pay the little annual fee no more
Get Luka now
kate sounds american!
LMFAOOO. Dirk was bouncing Charlie like a basketball
i love Kate but that accent is all over the gaff man 😂
First
Haha Dirk owns KG
Facts
Yeet
....ernsthaft Dirk...Bayern😪
Dumb prediction😂
Kate’s German is probably better than Dirk’s
this wouldnt be so bad if the 3 clowns on the right couch werent so insufferable
MJ the goooooooat!
You bustas thinking 4-6 deserves a goat title is hilarious
Charlie is not a smart guy, how he did become a pundit is beyond me.
"Playoff choker" likes Messi. Makes sense.
Man, if you interview Dirk just interview Dirk. Don't interview back and forth between him and freaking Dempsey... The focus should only be on the guest star
Nah, I think Dirk appreciated the more open conversation and I did too. He still got enough of the spotlight. Could have maybe asked him about Germany becoming world champions and now the US putting together a redeem team for the Olympics.
Dirk didn’t give af about her German
???? What?
Charlie Davis is cringe. He needs to go
