Prompt#20: Dirk Nowtizki

My favorite sport’s figure is Dirk Nowitzki who plays basketball in the NBA for the Dallas Mavericks. Although he hasn’t won a NBA Championship, he’s accomplished a lot in his career so far. He’s won a NBA three pointer shootout, the Most Valuable Player In The NBA award, and he has gone to the All Star game many times because he has been voted to go a lot. He one of the greatest players in Dallas Maverick history.

Dirk Nowitzki grew up in a rough neighborhood as a child in Germany. And that’s an event that led to his success to the NBA. Also his love and talent in basketball made him want to succeed to make it to the NBA and have a great career. I would say that his childhood led him to the success he has had in basketball because it made him even more hungry and determined to get out of the neighborhood and do something with his life.

His childhood is a major part of his success because as a child if you grow up in rough and bad neighborhood you will want to do anything to get out of there and get some sort of success. Thankfully the way Dirk got out was through his passion of playing basketball. He is a very talented big man at the power forward position he plays because of his versatility at the position. He’s a good at rebounding and he has an amazing shot. I think overall his childhood is the only thing that made him want to get out and become success like he has over the past twelve years he’s been in the league
