THE PERFECT SHOT covers the story of Nowitzki's rise to the peaks of fame starting off at one of Germany's regional basketball leagues. It's the story of the fascinating relationship with Holger Geschwindner, his discoverer, coach and mentor. The physicist recognized young Dirk Nowitzki's talent early on and, with a mix of ambitious daring and scientific precision, led him all the way to the top. It is a Film about Dirk Nowitzki and Holger Geschwindner: how they became who they are. It is about the unique relationship between the cosmopolitan mentor and his timid student, who made it to where his teacher had previously only dreamed of: the NBA Championship. Written by BROADVIEW
Perfecting a shot - what a great title for a movie, even though it also would apply to pictures, moving or not. In this case, it's about Dirk and "his shot". If someone attempts a one legged fade away jump shot, everyone in the NBA calls it a "Dirk". Which is a testament to what Nowitzki has achieved since he came to America and started playing for the Mavericks.
Even if you're not a fan of Basketball, the documentary probably will entice you. Though you will get more out of it, if you're interested in some aspects of the game. The interviews are kept light and the man on display is anything if not humble. Someone who even though he has made it big time, still questions his decisions and tries to better himself as much as he can. Really nice behind the man look and all the people who made him who he is today
