But in the spring of 1998, Nowitzki had the opportunity to get in front of a group of 40 NBA scouts and executives at the Nike Hoop Summit, held during the Final Four weekend in San Antonio. Nowitzki was considering college basketball, most seriously looking at California, Kentucky and North Carolina (sorry, Charles). But in the late 1990s, Geschwindner was focused on simply getting that career started. Nowitzki and Geschwindner - dubbed the 'Mad Scientist'В for the unusual training regimen - would form a bond that would last the duration of Nowitzki'sВ career. Almost a century earlier, Wurzburg's Wilhelm Rontgen had been a Nobel Prize-winning scientist who developed modern X-Ray technology. Nowitzki quickly became a dedicated pupil and began to play for his local club in Wurzburg, the X-Rays. It was Nowitzki, and he had an instinct for the game that captivated Geschwindner's imagination. Holger Geschwindner had been a wing who averaged 13.7 points in nine games on the 1972 East German Olympic team and subsequently spent two decades lamenting his country's lack of interest in the game, which he had learned from the kids of American soldiers stationed in the country.Д«ut around 1994, a dose of kismet brought Geschwindner to a gym where he saw an elbowy teen who stood out from his peers. When he got 50 on us, a bunch of NBA players, at 18 years old, I knew he was the real deal. We called, but the Bucks drafted him В the next year. What are you going to hide behind? Stop it.' He gave me his information, so Nike could look him up and all of that. I say, 'Where you going to college? I've got a good college for you.' I said, 'Give me your information.В I want you to go to my college.' I said, 'How old are you?'В He was, like, 18, 19. I went up to him after the game and I said, 'Who are you?' I'm like, 'What the f-В is this?'В And Scottie and the guys were mad, and they're saying, 'We're gonna shut him down in the second half.' Scottie is supposed to be the best defender in the game, right? Dirk's got like 25 or 30 at halftime,В and we go into the locker room. We were over there, and I've got Scottie Pippen and Gary Payton a bunch of NBA players with me, we were over there.
