The description is ESPN's account of Hoeness's comments, not something Nowitzki said himself.

Nowitzki was born on June 19, 1978, in Würzburg, West Germany, and his first club was DJK Würzburg. Munich is the city where Bayern play in the Bundesliga, and Hoeness's comment about bringing him back to Bavaria, as quoted by ESPN, ties him to the same part of Germany.
