Power of German basketball in the Olympics

The 2008 Germany Olympic basketball team came out this year with a lot of talent. Every single Olympic basketball year, Germany always has the most skilled players. The problem is why can’t they finish? Germany always starts out great in the Olympics. Every single exhibition game or tournament ranked game they come out, play hard and show everyone what they are made of. It seems like they always run out of gas at the end or when the games matter the most. Tim Ohlbrecht is one of Germany’s best performers, whom the NBA was looking at before he was 18. Tim Ohlbrecht’s first advantage is his height of 6 foot ten inches. The German Olympic team succeeded in dishing the ball to Tim, and the give and go which really was attached to them. Another great player is Jan Jagla. He is about seven foot tall, he can shoot threes, mid range jumpers and shots off the back board.

If Germany loses any point guards, or shooting guards due to injuries or fatigue, they can put Jan at the point or the two men. Germany is well rounded with talent. They even have NBA star Dirk Nowitzki on their side. In the next 3 years, Germany could indeed win a gold medal in the Olympic basketball tournament. Germany has an awesome recruiting staff, whom really attracts and signs players to Europe. Germany’s Robert Garrett and Steffen Hamann are big time impact players that have a bright future with Germany. Germany can keep up with teams like USA and Argentina or Lithuania. Especially after the new recruits who are headed towards the German Olympic team in the next couple years. Just keep your eyes open!

Lithuanian Legend – Sabonis

Sabonis in the NBA

Sabonis in the NBA

Arvydas Sabonis is named as one of the NBA’s best European centers to ever play basketball. The former Portland Trailblazer was spectacular, no doubt about it. He muscled his opponents down in the paint. Either Sabonis was throwing some elbows and not getting caught, or taking the ball and using his hook shot move. Sabonis is seven foot three from the beautiful country Lithuania. He was signed by the Portland Trailblazers, and retired as a Portland Trailblazer. Arvydas played from 1995 to 2003. The 8 years became limited to him because he had some knee problems causing him to wear knee braces every game and practice. A solid player, everyone loved him, coaches, players, fans, boosters, everyone enjoyed all the time and commitment he put in at Portland. Sabonis had a total amount of 5,629 career points scored. The Lithuanian center averaged about 12 points a game which is pretty dang good for the Lithuanian center. He also had a total number of 378 rebounds, including offensive and defensive rebounds. Sabonis played for the Lithuania Olympic team when he was able to. Either Sabonis would throw it down with some authority, or he would just easily dish the ball right back out to the point guards and they would just knock down the 3 point shot all day, giving Arvydas Sabonis the assists. Sabonis’s rookie season with the Trailblazers, he averaged 14 points a game, and by year 1998, he was up to 16 points a game but as his knees began to worsen, he steadily declined to 12 points per game, which is still decent. I wouldn’t be surprised if Arvydas goes into coaching in Lithuania. He had a very successful career and would do well. Best wishes to Arvydas Sabonis.
