NBA professional Wagner pleased with praise from Dirk Nowitzki, basketball – Newsticker

“Of course I’m very happy about that,” Wagner told the German Press Agency after the loss of his Orlando Magic at the Washington Wizards. Nowitzki is “a huge legend and a huge inspiration for me and many other basketball players in Germany”. Wagner scored 28 points at 110:127 and was the best thrower on his team.

The best German basketball player in history was impressed by Wagner’s first season in the NBA in a dpa interview earlier in the week. “I have to say that he really impressed me in his first year. I didn’t follow him that much in college. I was really surprised at how solid he is, how good his all-round game is. You can build on that,” Nowitzki said said and added with a view to the European Championships in Germany in the fall: “If he has asserted himself in the NBA, then he can also play a really important role in the European Championships.”
