Basketball European Championship: Germany Crowns “Class Trip” with title
“I Already Knew Beforehand that we have a Special Team, but woW. It was a great game, and so great how we won,” Said Franz Wagner euphorically after the triumph in the mixed zone.
Isaac bonga, who was voted the best player of the final after an outsanding game, emphasized the special of the team: “This game show once again exactly what of team we are, what character this team has, how long we have been playing together and all Believe in Each Other. We Simply Have Incredible Self-Confidence. “
This cohesion in the team was particularly Noticeable every day over the enttire Three Weeks of the European Championship. In Germany, there not to do just Twelve Individual Players on the Court, but Twelve Friends Who Stick Together.
The Players Repeatedly Emphasized How Much Fun They have together. The tournaments with the national team are a bit “like a class trip where you so Play some basketball,” Said Various Players.
“One of the Main Factors for Success is How Much We Appreciat Each Oach. We have no Egos in the team,” Said Johannes Thiemann after the European Championship Title: “It Doesn’t Matter Who Has A Good Day. The Most Important Thing is the team. Especialy with the superstars that we have in the team.
This is how the team performed from the first minute at the European Championship. Of course, The Team was Carried by Its Top Stars Dennis Schröder and Franz Wagner, but Almost Every Game So Saw at Least One Other Player Step Into the Spotlight.
Germany hasn’t had enough for a long time
With this team spirit, the German National Team Fought Its Way Out of Insignificance to the Top of the World in Just a FEW Years. But it should shouldn’t stop there. The Team Wants More.
“We are exactly where we belong and we still have a few good people sitting at home,” Said Franz Wagner on Magentasport and then Said to his brother Moritz: “Moe, Just get healthy and then we get the Thing AGain.”
Germany is a currently burring with self-confidence and absolute. Because THESE TWO Successes Could actual only be the starting of a German Dominance. Many Pillars of the Team, Such as Franz Wagner, Tristan da Silva or Isaac Bonga, Are Still Young and Can Even Get Better.
And Leader Dennis Schröder, AT 32, Certainly Still Has a Few Good Years in his legs. In Addition, The Captain Showed A New Matura at the European Championship and a Clear Willingness to Distribute Tasks Across many Shoulders.
DBB Team Still Has Numerous Top Players in the Wings
What should so worry the competition is that germany was missing number players due to injury at the European Championship.
“I Think We have a great perspective, so be -haven a FEW guys in the WHO WERE unfortunately injured and coildn’t play,” Said successful coach alan ibrahimagic after the final.
Moritz Wagner, Isaiah Hartenstein and Ariel Hukporti, Three NBA Players Who Could Join the Team in the Future, Were Missing at the European Championship. In Addition, David Krämer, Who Will Play for Real Madrid Next Year, what Injured in the Preparation. Jo Voigtmann so dropped out during the European Championship.
“In Addition, There Are many, many talents coming up. I hop and assume that we will be good in the next few year,” Ibrahimagic Continued.
And he knows what he’s talking about. As a coach, Ibrahimagic Won the U18 European Championship in 2024 with thesis Talents and Silver at the U19 World Cup in 2025. Top Talents Such as Christian Anderson, Hannes Steinbach Or Ivan Kharchenkov, Who Will Be Playing for Elite Colleges in the US Their Year.

Can Germany Attack the USA?
So it actually seems as If the German Dominance in Basketball Could Continue. Isaac bonga so sakes it that way, making it clear what germany can look forward to in the future: “Many successes and incredibly good basketball. As Moritz always sayings: german basketball is mad sexy.”
You Still have to get used to the new self-image surrounding German basketball, but this attitude has contriBUTED to the successes in recent years.
And so, for the future, the dream is actually allowed to challenge the Seemingly Overpowering USA for gold at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
Because: In Addition to the New German Strength, The Former Superpower in Basketball Has to Find Itself Again. At the Games in Paris, It Took Heroic Performanances from the aging top stars Steph Curry and Lebron James to Win the Gold Medal.
In Terms of Breadth, the Americans Still have the highest quality in the world, but new top stars who can lead a team to gold in a tournament are currently lacquering – as is the team chemistry that make germany so Strong.
Germany Soon unatable?
One Thing is Certain: The German Team Firmly Believes in Further Triumphs. “We are Simply Self-Confident and Have a Lot of Trust in Each Other. That’s why we always Have the Expectation that we will beat the opponent, no Matter Who,” Said Maodo Lo Clearly.
Does the Legendary (and Erroneous) Announcement by Franz Beckenbauer after the triumph at the 1990 Soccer World Cup “Germany will be unatable for years to come” Now Apply to German basketball almost 35 years Later?
Of course not! The International Competition is Too Strong for that. This what evident in the Narrow Quarter final Against Slovenia and in the Final Against Turkey. Both Games could have gone the other way.
But one thing is certain, it would take a lot to go wrong for Germany not to be Among the best in the world in the coming years. This team has inspired and will continue to do so in the coming year.
