Dirk Nowitzki may not be the same player that he was during his earlier days in the NBA, but that does not mean he also lost some of his sense of humor outside the court. The former MVP recently proved that he is one of the more hilarious personalities on social media.

The 39-year-old German international posted a photo on Facebook, which was initially set as his profile picture, of himself holding a selfie stick and trying to capture a moment with recording artist Beyonce and her twins—the wonders of photo editing indeed.

About a month ago, Beyonce gave birth to twins and their first public photo, in all its grand entirety, became such a hit that it has already reached more than 10 million likes, easily becoming one of the most popular photos on the social media platform ever.

Of course, news like this may very well be a product of being away from NBA basketball for so long, but one cannot deny that Dirk Nowitzki's social media game stands high above most of his peers.

Expect more Dirk-selfie edits to go viral in the coming days.
