Height of seven feet
How a magnificent height of seven feet can be turned into a money minting machine can be learnt from professional basketball players, the likes of Dirk Nowitzki. Born in Germany in 1978, Dirk came from a sports family (mother is a pro basketball player and father is a pro handball player) so it was quite natural that he would take to sports like fish to water. He had a great many advantages to his personality that made him 10 times All star NBA player – first was his height of 7 foot, next was his size, add to this his superb mobility, and his shooting ability and Dirk Nowitzki could play from 3 positions – his main position the power forward, the center forward and the small forward.
Having joined the Dallas Mavericks in 1998 after Milwaukee Bucks drafted him at the 9th position on the NBA draft, Dirk Nowitzki took his team through 50 wins in eleven straight sessions. His 2010-2011 annual salary under the NBA auspice is $19,092,873 and his net worth is calculated at $60 million which includes an $8 million mansion in Preston Hollow. An eligible bachelor till recently Dirk Nowitzki apparently got engaged to his love interest of some time Jessica Olsson.
