SZ: Sport is…
Badchieff: Spending time with friends. Work toward a goal. Equal parts fun and torture… – well, maybe not always.
Your current fitness level?
6 out of 10 – on the way up. Ever since I knew that an underwear shoot was awaiting me in a few weeks, I really wanted to get in shape, not just for the tour.
Rim upswing or stopover?
Was?
Physical education class was for you?
The best thing about school.
Your personal record?
Member of the national team squad (as a junior basketball player, ed.).
Stadium visitors or TV athletes?
Playstation, 1. Liga.
Bavaria or sixty?
Bavaria. But basketball.
Your eternal sports idol?
Kobe Bryant.
A formative experience?
Many injuries and the resulting emotional challenges.
In which discipline would you be an Olympic champion?
Chess. We play that everywhere and always, on tour, on shoots, in the studio, in everything that involves waiting. Winning against me on the tour bus is a bit of a challenge.
Which athlete would you like to swap jerseys with?
Life with nobody – but the jersey with Michael Jordan.
Under the heading “Formality” the SZ asks people about their affinity for sport every week. Artists, politicians, captains of industry – just no athletes. It would be boring.
