Germany national basketball team
Encyclopedia
The German national basketball team for men is the basketball side that represents Germany in international competitions. Their biggest successes are the victory in the European Championship
of 1993 at home in Germany, the silver medal in the 2005 European Championships
and the bronze medal
in the 2002 FIBA World Championship
.
side that represented West Germany
in international competition. Between 1955 and 1973, Germany temporarily competed with an East German national basketball team
as well.
in Paris. West Germany finished the preliminary round with a 1–2 record, third place in their group. They were again 1–2 in the first classification round, but this combined with a three-way tie-breaker put them second in that group. They then lost the classification 9–12 and 11/12 games to finish 12th place of 18 teams.
in Moscow. Their 1–2 record in preliminary pool play put them third in their four-team group, relegating them to the classification rounds. In the first round, they again took 3rd of 4 with a 1–2 record. They then beat Lebanon
58–56 in the 13–16 semifinals to advance to the 13/14 game, in which they were defeated by Romania
.
in Budapest
, West Germany again was 1–2 in the preliminary round, taking third place of the four-team group to be relegated to the classification tournament. They won one game in the first classification round, losing 3 to take fifth place of the five-team group despite having scored exactly as many points as their opponents over the course of the four games. Their final game was a match-up against Denmark
for 17th place, which West Germany won 51–49.
for Eurobasket 1957
. They had no success in the preliminary round, losing all three decisions. They were relegated to the classification round, in which they were able to gather a few victories. They finished the round in the fifth position at 3–4, taking 13th place overall.
made it near-impossible for German internationals to play on both their NBA teams and the national team. For this reason, important players like Detlef Schrempf
, Uwe Blab
or Christian Welp
often were unavailable in big tournaments.
The win of the 1993 European Championship
at home in Germany, thanks to superb clutch play of tournament MVP Welp (who had returned from the USA), came totally unexpected. The team won the election to "Team of the Year" by the German press. There was a huge wave of enthusiasm, but arguably due to lack of infrastructure and professionalism, tangible results were rare. German basketball stayed in the shadows, the next generation of youth shunning the native league while being glued to the NBA with Michael Jordan
. The national team never came close to repeat the success.
But then, German basketball got a lucky break when a lanky youth named Dirk Nowitzki
tried his luck with the Dallas Mavericks
and became a superstar. He created new enthusiasm for basketball in Germany, and in his slipstream, the national team had a renaissance
.
In 2001, Germany played Turkey
and was one second away from the final, when Turkey nailed a buzzer beater
to send the game into overtime. Turkey won, and demoralized Germany lost the third-place match and ended fourth.
However, success at last came in 2002, when Nowitzki inspired Germany to win the bronze medal in the 2002 World Championships
. Nowitzki was also named MVP of that tourney.
One year later, however, the team suffered its worst setback in years. In the Eurobasket 2003, which was also the qualifier for the 2004 Olympic Games, the talented, but inexperienced team blundered through a tournament, blowing late-game leads with appalling anti-clutch play. Germany was eliminated early and failed to qualify for the Olympics.
Before the Eurobasket 2005
expectations were not too high. The German roster was depleted by injury, and remembering the disaster of two years ago, nobody dared to dream of a medal. However, an inspired Dirk Nowitzki powered the team into the finals, eliminating favourites like Spain
and Slovenia
on its way. In the finals the team was blown out by Greece
, but Nowitzki was named MVP again, and the team won the election to "Team of the Year" by the German press again.
In the 2006 World Championship in Saitama, Germany won most of its first-round matches, only losing to Spain. In the knock-out phase, Germany fought a tough match versus underdogs Nigeria, ending in a 78–77 win when Nigerian star Ime Udoka
missed a last-second layup. In the quarter-finals, Germany played top favorite USA, and managed to play an excellent first half, trailing only 39–41. However, led by Carmelo Anthony
, USA outplayed Germany 20–8 in the third quarter and won 65–85. In the consolation round, Germany lost 73–75 against France, losing a lead in the last 18 seconds with two turnovers.
Germany qualified for the Summer Olympics 2008
in Beijing, by taking the final spot with the third place in the qualification tournament in Athens, Greece.
