They way you pronounced hartenstein 🥰 thanks for the video. Nice to see some love for a german role player ☺️

[@lostdomi42]

I'm from Germany and I really don't know which guys I wanna have on the olympics roster in the front court. We have Thiemann, Theis, Voigtmann, Franz & Mo Wagner, Bonga & Hartenstein. Kleber won't participate but he would be just another very good option...

[@duke5169]

I don't think Hartenstein will participate either, because he didn't do so in both Eurobasket and Worldcup.

[@gokselb4043]

Er hatte letztens in einem Interview verraten, dass er mit Coach Herbert länger nicht geredet hatte, es sich aber vorstellen könnte, bei der Nationalmannschaft in Zukunft dabei zu sein. Er müsste sich auf jeden Fall dem Team und dessen Dynamiken unterordnen und seinen Platz finden, was angesichts der Big-Man-Rotation gar nicht so einfach sein dürfte. Wäre aber neben Theis eine super Option als zweiter guter defensiver Big. Wäre dann wohl weltweit eines der breitesten und flexibelsten Frontcourt-Rotationen, wenn er dabei wäre.

@@duke5169 Olympics have more cache and prestige then Eurobasket and Worldcup, especially for Americans which Hartenstein really is. I mean Jokic didn't play in Worldcup but he'll play in the Olympics.

If only we could add a few guards, we really have too many good bigs lol

[@johnmacdonald5767]

He just had 14 points on 7/8 shooting, a huge offensive rebound that led to DiVincenzo's game winning 3 pointer and a great block against Maxey in the last minute of game 2 to help preserve the victory over Philly. Great night for him!

Isaiah Hartenstein is a special player. I feel like if he's given a decent usage rate he will thrive

[@Drueber]

from germany here, just wanted to add its a great video but an even better pronunciation from you. never heard it that good from somebody from an amarican

[@MattEffect]

He actually has a decent 3pt shot. It's just not part of Thibodeaus system.

[@VeteranVandal]

He's very good defensively. He's fast for a big guy, and has a lot o awareness. If he had a 3, he'd help more in the offence.

[@eliasmi6495]

hartenstein was so strong on the clippers finally he gets his well deserved attention

[@peterlustig5645]

As a German I just hope they put him in the line up for the Olympics cause we got no elite big defenders

[@za_kevo6299]

Probably not gonna happen as long as everyone from the World cup squad stays healthy, I would switch out Thimann tho, Love him but Hartenstein can bring you the same energy from the bench while being a better defender and Playmaker

Clipper legend !!! Absoultely love his game and wish we were able to retain him but glad he's getting the love he deserves in the bright lights of New York

[@southbronxny5727]

Clippers could've retained him but according to IHart, clippers simply didn't want him. First management said they couldn't afford him but Ihart said he'd take a pay cut to stay. Clippers finally fessed up and said no. So he came here, reported during an interview in the Brunson and Hart Roommates YT channel.

[@MrSheduur]

Would love to see him on the Lakers, as they currently lack alot in terms of defense. And I also believe that Hartenstein will become a main building block of team Germany after the olympics. They are still thinking about maybe giving him a chance for the olympics but it is rather slim due to commitment to the current group of players, but after this tournaments, he will 100% be part of our future squads.

[@chrisbee9643]

Thanks for highlighting my German boy. :) Greetz from the center of Germany. :)

[@chriskaryofilis2296]

I used to Play him in all youth Teams (in germany for those that are still debating his nationality). He had a solid 3 Point Shot back then, i cant Imagine it got worse over time. Just Thibs doesnt want any Centers to touch the Ball…

[@MrZdanTomas]

Great analysis as always 🔥

[@Goxilla]

I saw him play when he was 15 and he was around 6´9-6´10 bringing up the ball stopping at the 3pt line and draining it. I´m surprised that he doesn´t get to shoot more often

[@unberechable1464]

Can we talk about the traveling at 8:25 ? That´s some funny shit :) Dude was running like a 100m sprinter

[@DragonthornX]

He actually used to shoot 3s while he was with the Clips. He was shooting them at the beginning of his Knicks career but stopped taking them due to his low usage.

[@RandomStuffFreak]

8:05 thats actually crazy

Isaiah Hartenstyn is ballin

[@gabepizza]

To clarify on Hartenstein's nationality/race etc... His father is half African American and half German and his mother is a white American. They met at University of Oregon and Isaiah was born in Eugene Oregon and lived there until he was 8 years when his family moved to Germany where his father was playing basketball professionally.

[@timonaismith]

No No, his father Florian isnt half african american. He’s german with an american father and an german mother.

[@lukelillebrorcyran8397]

You want to clarify but actually you’re just creating a false narrative. Hartensteins father is born and raised in germany and lived nearly all his life in germany. His father is a German with one American parent and he played in America because of his career not because he’s American. And also Hartenstein was born in Oregon and lived his early childhood there but mostly grew up in Germany. He speaks native German and even plays for Germany. You are not saying wrong things but you’re message is wrong. Hartenstein is definitely German

[@tayo6882]

His shooting might come with time. He was a sniper in his youth in spite of his size, so he should be good enough for open jumpers. Maybe he just has to find his rhythm from out there.

[@saschkoppi]

He was MVP in G-League and had a great 3pt shot!

[@MrDuncanquasar]

Very solid player. Fits in well with the Knicks
