Dirk Nowitzki has been my hero for many years.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a huge Dallas Mavs fan. What I love about Dirk Nowitzki is he has just as much talent as everyone else, if not more, and he never toots his own horn. He's this silent warrior.
Dirk is like the German Moses, invincible and inspiring. That is why 'His Name Is Dirk' must be the Official Fan Song for Dirk Nowitzki.
In sports, every day you can be the hero or the goat.
The best player I ever played with was Dennis Johnson.
My sporting hero was Drazen Petrovic, the NBA basketball player, who was killed in a car accident in 1993. He was a good friend, an unbelievable player, and I dedicated my Wimbledon win to him.
My father has always been my hero.
When Michael Jordan quit, I suddenly found myself without a sports hero.
I'm just trying to pass Tim Duncan in championships if I can one day. That's my motivation; that's what I strive for. Tim is one of the greatest players who has ever played, so if I could get close or reach that plateau and have my name on that list.
Allen Iverson is, like, my all-time hero.
Growing up, Michael Jordan was my Olympic hero.
