I was a major fan of Dirk Nowitzki before all this hoopla," said the 53-year-old former TV hero of Knight Rider and Baywatch, who watched Game 2 from behind the TNT broadcast table.

That "hoopla" stemmed from something Nowitzki revealed during the Mavs' seven-game survival test against the defending champion Spurs in the Western Conference semis.

Dirk told reporters that, in order to relax, he sang to himself in pressure free-throw situations at the end of Games 3 and 4.


Oh? What were you singing, Dirk?

Answer: Looking For Freedom by his boyhood idol, David Hasselhoff.

"When I was on the road singing Looking For Freedom, Dirk was 11 years old," Hasselhoff said. "It was No. 1 in Germany for eight weeks in 1989 -- three months before the Berlin Wall came down."

1. Yeah, it's driving me nuts too

seeing David Hasselhoff at Mavericks games. Won't homie just go away somewhere?

[Kellanved]

2. "before the hoopla"?

Does he mean he was a fan when Nowitzki was still playing for Würzburg?

Either there's a highly paid marketing campaign for a comeback (please, anything but not that) underway, or Notwitzki's taste for music sucks. Maybe both.

The only Hasselhoff fan I ever had the pleasure to know was my 7th grade math teacher.

4. Well, now you know another one. I am a fan of Hasselhoff.

5. Würzburg?

Damn I was stationed just down the road from there.

Small world.

[jmm]

3. I can forgive Dirk because as Norm MacDonald

was fond of saying, "Germans love David Hasselhoff." Yeah his taste in music sucks but atleast he isn't trying to make music like half the NBA.

6. So what do we learn from this? *Hoff* won the Cold War. Take THAT, Gipper!
