Haha Dirk owns KG
I am so proud to have Dirk representing Germany. He is as real as they get, I am not a fan of the word grounded but I feel the Dirk you see and hear in interviews is the real one. I mean the comments on Rooney's hair and KG and MJ cussing, he can say those with a smile but keep it respectful and truthful at the same time. Together with Timo Boll from my sport table tennis the best sports ambassadors we had the last 25 years, pure class.
Ngl the mix of the German and texas accent is hilarious
As she started talking german I was Irritated af 😂
GOAT DIRK
LMFAOOO. Dirk was bouncing Charlie like a basketball
