This German Is Silently Making Knicks Contenders…

Isaiah Hartenstein is playing his best basketball when it matters the most: his NBA contract is expiring this summer. The Knicks fans are hoping their front office can keep the German in New York for a longer time. In this video, BasketNews' Augustas Suliauskas analyzes what makes Hartenstein such a valuable piece for a team that's looking like a real contender in the East.

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.

and now hes on the thunder⚡

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...

[@AugustasSuliauskas]

Knicks fans, for how much you'd re-sign Hartenstein?

[@peterlustig5645]

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

[@KM-bu5yw]

Calling him Draymond doesn't make him sound like a good defender. Makes him sound like a dirty player.

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

[@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!

[@sehu1291]

And Germany didn't even nominated him for the World Cup they won and also not for the Olympics despite Hartenstein said he would love to play for Germany again at the Olympics

[@berndwaamann131]

Steven A Smith is an absolute joke. I can remember him roasting Hartenstein at the very beginning of the season just to praise him two weeks later completely reversing his opinion in the nick of a time

[@LeeDaHitman]

we are loving Hartenstein over here in NYC 🗽🏀💪🏾

[@kennythekid130]

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

[@thislue4376]

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

[@eliasmi6495]

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

[@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.

[@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…

[@gabepizza]

Back here after Hartenstein had 17 rebounds including 12 on the offensive end in pivotal game 5 of the EC semi-finals

👇🏻Hartenstein for Olympia Button!
