DIRK Nowitzki may have just won the internet.

It all started when Pau Gasol took to Twitter to celebrate his 100th regular season NBA game, urging fans to post their favourite highlight of the big-man, with a prize being offered to the fan who posts the ‘best’ video.

Today I’ll be playing my 1000 #RegularSeason game & I wanna celebrate with you! Upload a video with your favorite play of the ones I’ve made

… in any regular season game. You can be as creative as you like… There’s a prize for the best video! Use #Pau1000

Fans began posting videos, but it wasn’t long until fellow international big-man Dirk Nowitzki stepped in, tweeting a video of Gaosl being dunked on by Nikola Vucevic, with the caption, ‘#pau1000 congrats’.

Gasol, one of the league’s classiest players, made light of the situation, but it’s unlikely Nowitzki will be the one winning the prize.

@paugasol Hahaha. My bad amigo. Let me know what prize I won....
