The Mount Rushmore of Dallas sports – Troy Aikman, Dirk Nowitzki, Emmitt Roger and Roger Staubach – were recognized at a fundraising gala Saturday night at the Omni Hotel in downtown Dallas.
The event, named Heroes on the Water, benefited veterans, active duty military and first responders and their families.
Dale Hansen, the sports director at WFAA-TV, Channel 8, was the master of ceremonies and moderator. Here are just a few of the questions Hansen asked the aforementioned men, followed by the answered Nowitzki provided during the program.
HANSEN: Did Dallas make Dirk Nowitzki, or did Dirk Nowitzki make the Mavs, or a little bit of both?
