While at the University of Florida, Thunder Head Coach Billy Donovan and one of his assistants were recruiting a player in Germany when they started to hear rumblings about a kid from Heidelberg, Germany named Dirk Nowitzki. Donovan and his assistant, through shaky translation and German maps, attempted to make their way to find Nowitzki, but didn’t have any luck.
Prodigies manage to uncover themselves, and now two decades later Nowitzki will be once again leading his one and only NBA franchise, the Dallas Mavericks, into Oklahoma City for another showdown with the Thunder.
