PHOTO: Nowitzki's new haircut draws celebrity comparison from teammates
Dirk Nowitzki's scalp has seen a variety of different follicle configurations throughout his 18-year career.
On Sunday, his latest hairdo elicited a rather unique comparison between the 7-foot German and a beloved talk show host and comedienne.

Although this particular parallel is a bit of a stretch, it didn't prevent Nowitzki's teammates from razzing the Dallas Mavericks icon.
