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!

    You are right, the german basketball team is strong. Too bad it couldn’t win the Olympics, but I am also sure that it won’t take much to win the gold. It is one of the best europe basketball teams.

    Germany has some of the best europe basketball players. And one of the best europe basketball teams, of course.
    I think the gold will come to the german basketball in the near future.

    I haven’t seen too many european basketball games. But from what I’ve seen, the german basketball is good quality.
    I don’t know what to say regarding the Olympics, but I know that the europe basketball players know their job.

    I became a fan of the german basketball in 2008. It has a lot of good basketball players. I even think Germany is one of the most “crazy” europe basketball teams.

    SECONDO ME SBAGLIATE. PENSO CHE PER ESEMPIO LA GRECIA SIA SUPERIORE ALLA GERMANIA DI BASKET IN EUROPA E NON SOLO, BASTA VEDERE I PIAZZAMENTI DELLE DUE SQUADRE IN EUROPA E NEI MONDIALI DI BASKET.
    SPANOULIS, DIAMANTIDIS, PAPALOUKAS, TSARTSARIS,E TUTTI I GIOCATORI DELLA GRECIA, HANNO VINTO MOLTO DI PIU. E HANNO BATTUTO LA GERMANIA, QUINDI PERKè DITE KE è LA MIGLIORE..
    NON è VERO RAGAZZI.

    VI SIETE SCORDATI LA FINALE DI EUROBASKET DEL 2005???
    GRECIA 78 GERMANIA 62
    SECONDO ME LA PIù FORTE E QUELLA CHE IN FUTURO FARà LE COSE PIU BELLE è PROPRIO LA GRECIA. SECONDO POSTO IN GIAPPONE AI MONDIALI DOPO AVER VINTO CON IL DREAM TEAM AMERICANO, UN Pò PEGGIO IN CINA MA SEMPRE BUON PIAZZAMENTO. CMQ SEMPRE MEGLIO DI GERMANIA E ALTRE.. E PER FINIRE.. LA MIGLIOR SCUOLA DI BASKET EUROPEO è QUELLA SERBA E GRECA…ANDATE A STUDIARVI UN PO DI BASKET.. LA GERMANIA NON è LA MIGLIORE. DAI
