Dirk Nowitzki Wonders If He Could Take Peyton Manning in a 40-Yard Dash

Thomas DuffyOct 23, 2015

Dirk Nowitzki is far from fast, and he's certainly not smooth. But the Dallas Mavericks big man is a darn good basketball player, so his clunkiness doesn't matter.

The same could be said for Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning on the gridiron.

So here's the question: Who's winning in a race between the two?

Broncos linebacker Von Miller is taking the 39-year-old QB, while Mavs forward Chandler Parsons is taking the 37-year-old German.

How could you pick against Dirk here? The guy runs up and down the court every night. Manning runs after he throws pick-sixes, but that's about it.
