Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki is a legit 7-footer, so he's obviously an extremely tall guy. However, Nowitzki is getting tired of constantly hearing how “tall” he is and wants to know if he can return the favor to people who are not as vertically gifted:
Not that it bothers me cuz I heard it too many times but is it cool for parents to point at me and tell their kids: look how tall he is???? Can I run around pointing at people telling them how small they are?? Smh

You tell 'em, Dirk. The sight of this happening would certainly be pretty hilarious.
Nowitzki is coming off an All-Star Game performance in which he played just four minutes for Team Giannis, but managed to drain all three 3-pointers he attempted to the delight of the crowd and the players.
The 40-year-old was cast as a special addition to the event by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, as this will almost surely be Nowitzki's last season in the NBA. Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade was also added to the game.
On the season, Nowitzki has appeared in 26 contests and is averaging 4.7 points over 11.0 minutes per game while shooting 35.5 percent from the floor and 30.9 percent from 3-point range.
Along with Atlanta Hawks guard Vince Carter, Nowitzki is the only active player who also played in the 1990s, as Nowitzki made his first NBA appearance during the 1998-99 campaign.
Over the course of his illustrious 21-year NBA career, Nowitzki has earned 14 All-Star selections and won an MVP award during the 2006-07 season. Most importantly, Nowitzki won a championship in 2011, notching Finals MVP honors after a legendary performance in a six-game win over the LeBron James-led Heat.
Dirk Nowitzki, who has spent his entire NBA tenure with the Mavs, owns career averages of 20.9 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game.
