This is so amazing to see!
Germany celebrating
#U18EuroBasket
title
I always said, Germany need to lose big games before they can win them.
The time has come. Note to rest of Europe - watch out for real now. Germany has tasted success and will be hungry for more
Yago dos Santos adds to his resume …
BBL title, BBL Finals MVP, 2021 BCLA title, 2022 InterContinental Cup, 2xNBB champion, 2022 NBB Finals MVP, 2019 World Cup, 2021 OQT, 2022 AmeriCup silver
… and he is 24 years old
Germany will be disappointed that they only finished fourth and go home empty handed from the Olympics, but this has really been a magical three-summer run.
Third place at EuroBasket 2022, the FIBA World Cup 2023 title and now their best showing ever at the Olympics
CONGRATS!
Big name in German youth hoops - Benjamin "Benny" Schröder committing to

rally from 22 to beat CSKA.
Monaco coach Mitrovic afterwards:
"Great for French basketball. I think it’s great. Unfortunately not on TV, yeah? This is the problem. You missed really great games for TV. This is really a bad thing."

"It was fun for sure - something I will probably look back on in few months and look back with fond memories. But right now it sucks."
"We don’t let people just step on us. Otherwise we could have just stayed in Estonia and not even come here. If somebody says something to us, we talk back," Kerr Kriisa when asked about Luka Doncic. "He showed a reaction so it means it's pretty easy to get into his head too."
This was probably a very cool moment for Carlos Boozer and Luis Scola watching their kids face off at the
#FIBAU16Americas
USA won 113-52 and Cameron Boozer had 19 points and Cayden Boozer 13 while Tomas Scola had 8 points.
Mali WON silver and didnt lose

Amazing!
@albaberlin
had five players (Lo, Mattisseck, Delow, Giffey, Schneider) on the court at the same time who were all born in Berlin playing in the

Insane! Plus you have Brenneke hurt
Hat's off to Berlin's youth development
Das hat es in der

That’s going to be a fun match-up. He’s a great player. He’s a tough dude, a hard-nosed dude. Plays physical, plays above the rim. Gets every rebound."

Zach Edey on what he still needs to work on:

Dear Internet
sorry, but we're gonna have to shut you down for a while.
This news needs to just sit in for a while ...
The Legend is back ... and he's back at Partizan
Wow, Zeljko returning to the Black and Whites. Amazing
This is my EuroCup piece on Yago dos Santos from Nov 2022
"I always wanted to challenge myself at all levels. I did a lot of things in Brazil and it was time to take the next step."
He certainly took the next step!

Starting from when

Holy smokes!
Huge respect to

Five Germans on the court in Game 4 of

Really nothing special this season for Berlin ...
Clear message:

teams can win with German players
France ...
Let's first start off with make sure that Nicolas Batum never has to pay for a drink in France because of this legendary block
Great job again by

on getting the shot (and all the other amazing pics)
Huge congratulations to

First 7 seed to win the title and they defeated the No1, 2 and 3 seeds for the crown
Congratulations to Baldur Ragnarsson on guiding

I'm not the only big fan of Cooper Flagg ...
Below is an NBA scout's opinion
Cant agree more. First time watching him and Flagg is USA's best player. Put the ball in his hands more offensively and take advantage of mismatches and create for others w his great passing

Andre

Quarter win: Do you start dreaming now?
"I always dream about being in a World Cup and winning the whole thing. But now that I am here I know that me and this team can do it. I don't have to dream about it any more."

Listening to the passionate Pere Romero talk about the youth development at

... I loved this concept of slow-cooking talents until they are ready like a family.
Here my
@BasketballCL
look at the club and how they work at the youth level
Fedor Zugic (Sept 18, 2003) became the youngest player in
@EuroLeague
history at 15 years 5 months and 4 days when he entered the court for
@KKBuducnostVOLI
vs Zalgiris. The Montenegrin surpasses Aleksandar Ugrinoski (15 years 8 months 21 days) from Cibona in 2004
So much talk and deservedly so about Aito ...
but, please, let's dish out some enormous respect and congratulations to Israel Gonzalez and what he has done this season for
@albaberlin
@easyCreditBBL
champ in his first campaign as HC for the Berlin. Hat's off
FC Bayern Munich announced that the 11,500-seat SAP Garden will open its doors for the first live basketball on October 3 with the home opener of the 2024-25 EuroLeague season.
The SAP Garden will have a grand opening in late September for ice hockey team EHC Red Bull Munich
Another great great story for
@albaberlin
Jaleen Smith went from MVP with Ludwigsburg to trying to work his way into a totally different system in Berlin and he finally did and wow, what a final third of the season he played

A couple of days late on this but ...
Just wanted to thank

Class act who gave us all so much!
And by the way ... I hope my man Federic Crapez doesn't have to buy a glass of wine for the rest of his life after making

history with

"I love it. I know dudes were comparing us and I took it a little personal. I came in from the beginning and tried to dominate as early as possible and get as many looks as I could."

I was incredibly impressed with

Dennis Schröder told a press conference in Germany that
@Pacers
(he has a good relationship with Victor Oladipo) and
@Bucks
would be teams he could imagine being traded to:
Possibly the biggest winner from
#FIBAU20Europe
is Filip Stanic. The big man didn't have a contract for the up-coming season and bet on himself and came up huge by making the All-Star Five with bronze medal-winning Germany. A nice deal from a
@easyCreditBBL
team should be coming
Don't tell
@NigelWG5
Williams-Goss that
@PartizanBC
was already eliminated from EuroCup Top 16 contention. He collected career highs of 28pts 11as 3st to go w 3rbs (36 PIR) in loss to Limoges
Caleb Houstan after
@CanBball
win over Spain
#FIBAU19
"We just stayed at it, we stayed aggressive. Going to Zach (Edey) early in the second half really spaced it out for the guards and wings. He was killing all game. That kind of opened it up and our offense was flowing more. "
More from Zach Edey what he needs to work on:
"Want to add a face-up game. I have so much I want to add to my game. This is just the raw version."

@CanBball
Rafael Pinzon ... 14 of Puerto Rico's final 20 points to give

the comeback win over Latvia
Puerto Rico trailed by 15 points late in the third and by 13 after three quarters.

Another reason to be a fan of
@albaberlin
as a basketball club. Even if you don't want them to win. But they are massively pushing the game in Germany. Congrats!

2023 just 2 weeks away I was recalling 2002 World Cup in Indy and remembered going to get newspapers after Argentina shocked USA, which lost for the first time in international play w NBA players - after 58 straight wins. Absolutely loved this take by Chicago Tribune
So, if we all were to agree that the

tournament is better than the
@ACBCOM
Fase Final and the Israeli Winner League, then would it be accurate to say the
#easyCreditBBL
is the top domestic league in Europe - like BBL leaders had hoped for by 2020.
Just a thought
What a magical performance by Belgium ...
Come back from 17 points down at halftime to beat Lithuania 77-71 to reach the

Semi-Finals for the first time!
And they did it without Thijs De Ridder, who fouled out w more than 6 minutes to play
