The Dallas Mavericks GOAT is the subject of a new book called The Great Nowitzki: Basketball and the Meaning of Life. It was originally written in German and released in Dirk's home country. Tuesday, the English version dropped in America.

Nowitzki hopped on Fox 4 with Mike Doocy and Sam Gannon to chat about his recent biography. He told a funny story of reading it during a flight to Beijing, China. The book hadn't come out yet, but he still didn't want to be spotted studying a hardback called The Great Nowitzki so he took the cover off. He added that the publication gave him all the feels.
