Nowitzki: There certainly isn't a shortage of offers. You wouldn't believe how many watch manufacturers have sent me their models. Just like that. I give them all away. I am satisfied with what I have. How crazy do you have to be when you can afford everything but still clutter up your life with all sorts of advertising appointments? No thanks.

Good interview.

Based on the level of articulation, I take it that the interview was in German and translated?

Actually, I'm thinking it was probably written correspondence as well.

Great life lessons in there:

1) Aspire to be great at something, then work at it.

2) Don't let what you have mess up your good qualities.

3) Don't rub your achievements in the face of others.

4) Time is life's un-replaceable commodity.

A boxing glove with the inscription: "You are the greatest." Please don't ask me immediately about the political meaning of the gift. I was simply happy and sent Ali a golden basketball with a similar inscription.

That's awesome.

I'd love to drum w/ Dirk.

Dirk...my favorite professional athlete of all time and it isn't close. Dude is nails on the court and class off of it. Love that guy.
