Trade Review"All the hours in the gym, all the defeats and victories, all the stories and memories - it takes an author like Thomas Pletzinger to find the right words for my world and my game. I couldn't have wished for a better one." -- Dirk Nowitzki
"Pletzinger brings a sense of curiosity and discovery to the story of his German countryman…. He gains his subject’s trust early and carries it through to the finish, after all the cheers have died out and Dirk Nowitzki assumes his full-time role as down-to-earth dude." -- Chris Vognar - Texas Monthly
"A meticulously observed, impassioned assessment of Nowitzki’s significance as a basketball player." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Nowitzki’s army of fans will devour this well-crafted account of a great player and a decent human being, and other hoops loved will come away happy to have better made his acquaintance." -- Jim Burns - Library Journal
"[
The Great Nowitzki] works not just as biography but as a story of sporting fame and fandom. Of the symbiotic relationship between a superstar and his city, country and the broad range of people touched by his feats of sporting greatness… [E]ngrossing, engaging and special." -- AllSportsBooks.Reviews
