Haymaker Presents launches with an icon: Dirk Nowitzki.
Ben and Skin sit down with the Big German to talk about his next chapter in broadcasting, life as a dad, his friendship with Steve Nash, the evolution of the Nowitzki Foundation including his big tennis event, driving the Autobahn, music obsessions, parenting perspective, and of course — Mavericks basketball.
A Metroplex conversation, in a Metroplex studio, with the most beloved athlete in Dallas history.
