In this video, BasketNews’ Augustas Suliauskas analyzes why they should be in every fan’s top 3 contenders to win the Olympic gold and the main secret that makes it all click.

    As a German I don’t care if they win or lose because that doesn’t matter if they play great. And this team is so much fun to watch…I am so proud of these guys!
  • @pahountisg
    I m Greek, but I m rooting for any country that will humble USA team
  • @DaGuys470
    "only for Bonga to brick it" That sent me lol. I really hope he finds his rhythm again.
  • @Mika-me3og
    USA Fans need to be humbled. As a German, I actually love this USA team, just look at the legends on this roster. The only reason ppl cheer against them are their fans, they are so ridiculously arrogant it’s kinda crazy
  • @PrVox34
    Agreed, Germany is a very good team that can go all the way. They didn’t win the World Cup by mistake, even though they will face much tougher competition this time around
  • @Goxilla
    Hartenstein said he'll commit after the Olympics which should give them more rim protection. Golden generation, too bad Dirk missed that
  • @MrSheduur
    Nice that someone actually acknowledges it. The disrespect to them is real right now among many ppl.
  • I want a Schroder Team Germany jersey. He's must watch tv in international play.
  • @Moersfreak
    Just look at that beautiful basketball. That's the type of chemistry that you only develop by playing with each other for a long time.
  • @jTA597
    Nice analysis, some watch alongs would be cool when the games start. Schroder is a great player in some aspects but has a tendency to chuck 3s which was frustrating to watch last night.
  • @Trapligo
    It's scary now that the germans have evolved their basketball so fast like they are that good in soccer

    For me Germany is one of 5 teams with real Finals chances. USA, Canada, France, Serbia, Germany... some might put Spain in there too, but I just dont think they are good enough at the top. Same is true for Australia. Both teams are deep, but they have clear holes in some parts of the game. But of course those teams can also beat basically everyone on a perfect day. Overall it will come down to matchups in the knockout rounds. So yes, Germany can reach the finals again if everything works perfectly. But as a german I would be more then happy with winning any medal. Cause it would give the right ending for this era of german basketball. Herbert is leaving after the Olympics, and some players will most likely step down as well (thinking about Theiss, Voigtmann, Lo, Giffey, maybe even Schröder). The team made a commitment in 2019 for 5 years. And they did great things during this timespan. Bronze at Eurobasket 22, Gold at the World Cup 2023, now another medal at the Olympics and this would be the best Era in German Basketball overall.
  • @thtben
    I love Johannes Voigtmann (not just because I coach at his old club). Such a smart big - who wouldn't want him on your team? He opens up a world of possibilities, defends smart&hard, and will never do anything stupid on the ball or off, all while wowing absolutely nobody with his quickness.
  • @MrHaggyy
    Having a well rounded team won them the world cup. Having that same team available for olympia will be great. It's also really fun to watch them finishing a play, while they have a perfect shot since 2-3 passes already.
  • If I remember correctly, you did a more or less similar video about Germany before the World Cup and we did win the whole thing, hope you are correct again 😁
  • @tabalaner4202
    "... only for Bonga to brick it." thats one denied climax right there. The whole build up was so exciting that the ending was just a cherry on top. lol
  • @sonictor
    I feel like there are as many as maybe eight teams that have a legit shot at winning gold, depending on how the ball bounces on the day :) USA, Canada, Serbia, Germany, Spain, France, Australia, Greece (in no specific order). The pressure is on and I can't wait for the games to start!
  • @bose95able
    Team Germany got some Major Problems: 1. Bigs Lack of Shooting this Summer 2. Weak Second Unit (Bonga, Bapp cant Shoot) How can they Beat Team USA: 1. USA must have a Bad Game (3pt Shooting <30%) 2. Germany needs to Shoot better then 35% from three 3. Dont Finish against Davis 4. Play fast and fearless 5. Second Unit needs to perform 6. Bigs need to knock down 3s 7. Refs need to be fair (No Star Bonus)

    This was such a great video. I enjoyed it a lot.
