Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki is quite the popular fella overseas.
It wasn't that long ago when Nowitzki brought a young couple from China to tears after taking a photo with them prior to Dallas hosting the visiting Brooklyn Nets.
On Wednesday, with the Mavericks in New Orleans to battle the Pelicans, another supporter from Singapore made his way to the Smoothie King Center in hopes of meeting one of his basketball heroes.

Nowitzki, very much a man of the people, made this man's long trip all the more satisfying.
