Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki knows basketball very well. In fact he is an NBA champion, and a league MVP.

That skill and dominance does not translate among all sports. Dirk tried his talents in a soccer charity match, only to create himself a blooper video for failing to hit the mark.

On one play, Nowitzki tries a technique called the bicycle kick, but missed the ball completely and fell on his back.
