Dirk Werner Nowitzki (born June 19, 1978) was at the time of his appearance on The Cleveland Show, a German professional basketball player who plays for the Dallas Mavericks of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Dirk Nowitzki voices himself when Cleveland gets rowdy and talks smack to the players in an all-star basketball game in "A Short Story and a Tall Tale". The basketball champs, feeling hurt, seek revenge by paying a surprise visit to Stoolbend and putting Cleveland in his place.
