Scottie Scheffler says if he could be any athlete ever, he’d be Dirk Nowitzki

With the release of Happy Gilmore 2 , the press tour has been in full effect. The movie’s trailer features a lot of high-level cameos, none bigger than golf’s number one player, and newly-crowned Champion Golfer of the Year, Scottie Scheffler. In a fun video with ESPN , Scheffler was asked a myriad of questions in a short amount of time, with the majority of the answers being throwaways. The final question, however, lit up my face like the Dallas skyline. He was asked to name an athlete that he would switch places with in their prime, noting that it could be anyone from any time. Scheffler first said he “loves basketball” and would “love to try and play in the NBA” before revealing that if he could, he would switch places with Dirk Nowitzki. He also noted that Dirk is “the man.”
