    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.

    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.

    Feel like it is important to mention that the club fees especially for kids are very little.

    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 .
