Dirk Nowitzki wasted no time in announcing that he will play for his homeland, Germany, in the quickly approaching European Championship games.Mavs fans are concerned about his health...and German fans are concerned about nothing. As both parties should be.
Dirk has never been the kind of player that requires much rest. This decision will reinforce that fact as well as provide him with yet another test of his physical durability.
The European Championship begins on August 31st and he hopes to be playing through September 18th which is the championship game. The two finalists in this tournament will be the qualifiers for the 2012 Olympics in London. Germany is in a group with France, Italy, Serbia, Latvia and Israel.
Dirk has already defeated the powers that be in the United States. Over the past few weeks he has silenced any, and all, rumors about a first-round upset, he dethroned the Lakers in sweep-style, he struck the Thunder with stellar efficiency, and finally he smacked around the new Monstars in Miami.
Now it is time for him to go abroad, with new teammates and make his mark on the globe.
Dirk won't be looking to add to his trophy case. He'll be looking to add to his legacy.
He has officially conquered the NBA, now he's off to conquer the world.
