Basketball star trolls Zaza with hilarious mock penalty

Basketball star trolls Zaza with hilarious mock penalty

Italy’s Simone Zaza will likely never forget his infamous penalty miss against Germany at Euro 2016 – certainly not if Dirk Nowitzki has anything to say about it.

The German basketball star couldn’t resist taking the mickey out of Zaza during a charity event in honour of compatriot Michael Schumacher.

Nowitzki pens new two-year Dallas deal

Extracting as much comical value out of his seven-foot frame as possible, the Dallas Mavericks star danced towards the ball before blazing his penalty attempt high and wide of the posts.

The hilarious re-enactment bore an uncanny resemblance to the Italian’s disastrous effort, and left the 25,000 fans in Mainz in stitches.
