WATCH: Dirk Nowitzki was very confused by Anthony Hamilton’s national anthem

For two years in a row now the NBA All-Star Game has provided us with something unique before tip-off. Last year, Fergie gave her own spin on the national anthem, and it was widely excoriated and mocked. This year, in Charlotte, Anthony Hamilton gave his own take on the “Star Spangled Banner.”

Dirk Nowitzki was very confused.

Dirk is certainly entitled to his opinion. As for this scribe, I was loving Hamilton’s interpretation of our national anthem.
