In one thing, Dirk Nowitzki says he is still very “old school”. The former NBA star revealed in an interview to broadcasters RTL/ntv that he keeps his three children completely out of social media and also consciously regulates his own use. “These are great platforms to support your topics such as the work of the foundation and to say something funny here and there. But I don’t have to post something there every day.”
They would also try to keep the children “away from the influence of social media. That’s why they don’t have their own cell phones yet,” emphasized the 46-year-old. Nowitzki and his wife have a daughter (born in 2013) and two sons (born in 2015 and 2016).
All three play tennis, the two sons also play football, and the daughter does volleyball and gymnastics in addition to tennis, Nowitzki reported. When asked how his children would grow up, the former Dallas Mavericks star said: “We want to raise ‘global citizens’ who will then be able to make a decision at some point in the future about where they feel comfortable and want to live.”
