Obst played a great Eurobasket last year too. I would like to see if he can play nba. He has more room to shoot. Would be interesting

Yeah... nice... but as a former soccer player I am not that hyped when it comes to next year European Championship. I try to enjoy this win for the basketball team but... you know, I only hope we don't embarrass us too much next year.

[@denizakin5645]

7:12 Voigtmann can very much shoot, eventhough he hasn't shown it at all this tournament. Consistent 40% 3 point shot in Milan

The sequence at 14:07 was sick.... 3-pointer - Block - FG was a perfect example what Germany was capable off. Great Team Basketball.

[@mikivatrogasac4671]

Crazy how Reeves got swept with lakers 113-111 in 4th game and now lost in the semis to Germany with the same result 😂 bros really unlucky

[@catchnkill]

It is not unlucky. It was his fault. In the fourth quarter he committed a charging foul when bringing the ball up court. In the last 3 minutes, he was picked up to attack twice and Germany made two vital baskets. His defence is poor.

[@BigOneEndstopEnt]

I am german but i like team USA very much! Its sad to see them lose because of stars who chill in offseason! Im with the germans for sure but would love to see Steph, LEvron, Durant, Lillard, Klay. Its a little bit arrogant to go for the world title with a b group. European basketball gets better and better like u see. In the future you have to bring the best!

[@catchnkill]

@@BigOneEndstopEnt I think that it is not arrogant. Those US basketball stars are selfish guys. The organizer cannot persuade them to participate. Every superstars have their excuses not playing. Respect should be given to the current team. At least they decided to represent their country. It is better than those chilling in the pools or playing golf.

[@eoghaininfacundodiarmuid]

Western conference finals is literally NBA post season semifinals. 113-111 is really unlucky for Reeves.

[@Hy-BridAbroad]

@@catchnkill LOL Germany scored a ton of points. Yes, his defense wasn't good, but neither was the entire teams defense. The defensive scheme as a whole was terrible and didn't work at all and there was no real adjustment ever made.

[@Razor-fv2tv]

I have now watched several videos showing Americans' reactions to the defeat. You are the first to tell it like it is and not look for excuses. Thank you for that.

[@CoL_Drake]

its nice to hear someone say both sides fought well as from american media after the loss it was like this was the worst us team to ever exist they could not life a stone and so on ... like the worst loosers would never accept anyone else could play the game xD

[@sirbonobo3907]

man cheering for both teams and commenting in such a nice way its really refreshing to see!

[@evilroman1sobieski756]

Look forward to seeing your analysis of games. Like the way you describe the actions in a matter of fact way without the unnecessary drama that a lot of commentators try to inject in their reports. Keep up the good work mate..

[@DaGuys470]

One crazy thing I'm noticing watching the US, they are so not used to FIBA goaltending rules. I paid more attention to it, due to what you said about rebounding, and they are constantly trying to swat the ball away, but for some reason they are grabbing through the net instead of from the side. That's so weird.

[@Hy-BridAbroad]

I think the swatting through the net is just frustration. They know they can't do that but they are just frustrated. It isn't like it penalizes you anymore when the ball is already going through the basket.

[@Nr4747]

They just didn't the time and/or reach to go around the basket to try and block those shots.

[@MCVseit1997]

11:48 exactly my face when he made that shot. great vid fam, keep it up. And congratulations to the new World Champs!

[@kika117]

Thank you for the last comment! It is who you bring to the tournament. And it was ALL NBA players - a luxury that no other team has.

[@Nicklas25_DK]

What I noticed watching the game live was that the US switches a lot on pick and rolls like what is modern in the NBA. But Germany and a lot of other European countries will put the ball in the post against the mismatch and either get an easy layup or an open shoot if they send a double.

[@felixmalcherek2919]

One big difference in FIBA defenses vs US/NBA defense at the world cup: On drives (like Schroeders at @12:37) the US defenders tend to fly by, rather than put their bodies in front of the driver. While FIBA defense generally involves getting and staying in front of the driver, forcing him to go over the defender.

[@knutgut1]

Enjoy this games today.I think we see two difference games today.A NBA and a FIBA Style game.Because Serbia is the best example to understand FIBA Basketball.I hope my Germans can handle it.Its not less tough as against the US Boys

[@augustocosta7887]

What a game Dennis Schoulder the MVP

[@michaelvanallen6400]

*With other teams, most players go through various age-group national teams. Therefore, with almost all other national teams, there is much more understanding of the game between the players.* Dennis Schröder and Theis, for example, have played together for 15 years in the same club and various age-group national teams. // National coaches of almost all other states do this job as a main job - and then several years. Steve Kerr, on the other hand, is an extremely involved NBA coach for whom the job as national coach is only an extremely strenuous "vacation job".

[@BigOneEndstopEnt]

What do u think about my idea to make a Basketball Rydercup, Team USA against Team Europe! That would be great! Same size of citizens, so its very fair. Jokic, Giannis, Schröder, Bofdanovic, Wagner... against the best of the States! Thats like Basketball Superbowl! Maybe instead of the boring AllStar game we have today!

[@anamaljkovic1564]

No way it would succeed any format you wear up to. There's a nation called United States of America but there is not and never will another named United States of Europe. Ryder Cup is the exception of the rule, u know , just a different story which cant be replicated.

Jungs, großer Sport und Ihr könnt soooooo stolz auf diesen Titel sein !!!

[@hartmutthomas989]

ich denke das Halbfinale hat wirklich Weltklasse Basketball gezeigt .

[@--__--TuNicHTGuT--__--]

I somehow had the feeling that the US boys weren't really hungry for victory...maybe because you already have so many titles! But I was still really happy about our victory, even though I would have liked DIRK and DENNIS to make it together as a double D team...well, it wasn't meant to be. BUT what I also wanted to say for a long time: one of the things I really appreciate about the US boys (actually even about athletes from the US in general) is their sportsmanship and their politeness. Even when they have lost a game, they remain polite and even show honest joy and respect for the opponent's performance... this is rare in team sports, especially in Europe, many nationalities take sports far too seriously here, become aggressive when they lose, especially in football ... I just wanted to say that out loud because I think it's a really nice trait. Have goood day bro..

From your professional perspective and your NBA and euro ball knowledge, I’m curious … which NBA team(s) that you’ve seen play the most like the euro style ball? I’m biased ofc lol but it sounds like all the same commentary we heard during Nuggets vs opponents games amirite? 😬

[@wmackeyjr242]

That’s a really good question and honestly none really come to my mind right away but maybe the Nuggets and Warriors are good examples. Just because they have true big men that do the dirty work but also their passing and team first style of play

Hope Wimbi will turn that around! The game has to come harder again! Now you touch a defenders Hand it is a foul and that suck's! Bring back 90's NBA and i am happy! I played here in EU and they are so crazy you can't even do a crossover they will double dribble you! I hated it but i am happy with Streetball that is my love since the turn of the Millennium!

[@ibringthelastwords1358]

USA disaster starts when haliburton slipped by trying to steal the ball then edwards pass didn't catch by jarren and a missed follow through by banchero. Yes maybe they are not the best the us can send to the world cup but they are not just ordinary baller but they are young talented nba players which are capable. I think the only thing hurt them the most is their lack of height compare to other EU teams. They are all just averaging 6'10 and the only guy that can defend the paint is JJ Jr.

Legends of American basketball like coach Popovic and like the GREAT Kobe Bryant, tried to warn the Americans about the value and the continuous rise of European basketball. But a lot of American basketball fans were more interested in what Stephen A. Smith had to say. I love Stephen with all my heart because just listening to him, makes my day. But his views about European basketball and basketball players, show a person lacking knowledge on the subject. Good news is that the upcoming Olympic tournament will be ten times extra fun to watch, if the Americans decide to go with their strongest roster. Respect to all the athletes.

[@frontrangejrs]

Lol, nevermind the whole stars sitting at home for USA. Durrant, lebron, Steph, they aren't young guns to play playoffs and international basketball anymore, but looking at this lineup, who picked this team? As a Nuggets fan, I know MPJ is streaky and injury prone. But we just won a championship and got carried through the season off KCP and Gordan's Defense. Gordan can be sketch from the line but the rest of his game, and being an athletic freak, he is an unselfish teammate who doesn't mine spending all his energy on defense and cuts for his teammates. KCP same thing, with a consistent 3. KCP is only 30 and Gordan is less than that. There are plenty of other players even better from other teams too. Did Kerr pick this team? Josh Hart and Bobby Portis? Reeves over De'aaron Fox? Who picked this team? Tatum is only 25. Who picked this team?!!! KCP maybe too old for this. But Gordan is 27 and is a versatile defender. Tatum is 25. Fox 25. Booker is 26. Did none of these guys want to play? Gordan with Tatum, Fox or Booker already better than the rest of this bench.

[@onyxblack1167]
