Dirk Nowitzki takes a hilarious video of Udonis Haslem in Germany

The NBA achieved another milestone on Thursday when it played its first game in Germany, with Orlando Magic and Memphis Grizzlies matchup.

Dallas Mavericks icon Dirk Nowitzkiwho is revered as a national hero in Germany, was on hand at the Uber Arena in Berlin for NBA game coverage on Primealong with former teammate Steve Nash.

Before tip-off, the Miami Heat legend Udonis Haslem asked Nowitzki if he felt “salty” that he never played in his home country when he was with the Mavericks. Nowitzki, always with a dry sense of humor, had perfect answer.

“It’s a little sad that we were a little too early. But you know, back in the day I had a warm-up game (in Germany), which I think was in 2012 after we beat the Miami Heat in the championship,” said the former MVP.

That drew laughs from Nash, Haslem and other members of the studio crew, including former NBA stars Dwyane Wade and Blake Griffin and host Taylor Rooks.

The Mavericks defeated the Heat 4-2 in the 2011 NBA Finals, and Nowitzki was named Finals MVP.

It was a hard-fought series, and Nowitzki was infamously mocked by then-Miami stars Wade and LeBron James, claiming the Dallas power forward was faking being sick in Game 4.

Nowitzki and Haslem have had their own uphill battles, as they normally battled against each other. Haslem has won three titles in his long career, including his first against Nowitzki and the Mavericks in 2006.

But when it comes to dropping hilarious remarks, Nowitzki definitely takes the crown.
