Released in America earlier this year, the film chronicles Nowitzki’s rise to NBA superstardom from his beginnings in Wurzburg, Germany. Director Sebastian Dehnhardt also explores the Mavs legend’s famous basketball partnership with his coach and mentor Holger Geschwindner, Nowitzki’s relationship with his family, and other personal aspects of the Big German’s life — in many cases, stories that were never before publicly known.
You’re not going to hear a negative review from anyone who’s seen it, especially from anyone who loves the Mavs. Nowitzki is one of the most humble, likable sports stars America has ever known, as evidenced by the last line he delivers in the movie.
