After helping Dallas win two straight playoff games by sinking clutch free throws, Dirk Nowitzki divulged Tuesday the secret to his success."You just try to relax," he said. "There are a lot of things going through your mind. I try to sing sometimes to kind of take the pressure off."

It must be one impressive tune considering Nowitzki made two foul shots with 7.9 seconds left for the tying and winning points in Game 3 against San Antonio, then forced overtime by making two free throws with 8.5 seconds left in regulation of Game 4.

Smiling wide and laughing loud, he said the song was David Hasselhoff's "Looking For Freedom," a big hit when he was a kid in Germany. -- Associated Press

Great. How embarassing. My team got beat by a player who sings along to this guy:

The first time I went in to a German store and stumbled across the music section I cracked up when I saw the life size Hasselhoff cut out display :laugh1:

This also has huge implications for someone like Shaq. Instead of spending thousands on a private shooting coach, to fix his free throw problem, all he needs to do is order that $4.99 David Hasselhoff CD that has been sitting in Amazon.Com's warehouse for the last 8 years.

IMO Shaq should have stuck with the Taco Bell head lean a few years back...
