Clear the stage for the world champions!

Berlin’s captain Johannes Thiemann (29) against Munich’s Isaac Bonga (24), Niels Giffey (32) and Andreas Obst (27). The latter is still shaky due to a foot injury.

How did things go for the four world champions after the sensational title win?

All of them are now German sports superstars. In mid-November they and their colleagues received the Bambi in the “Sport” category. The laudatory speech was given by soccer world champion Bastian Schweinsteiger (39) and his wife Ana Ivanovic (36).

At the sports press ball they received the Pegasos Prize in the “Athletes with Heart” category. The three Bavarians were received by Prime Minister Markus Söder (56/CSU) in the State Chancellery. Bonga: “I get spoken to on the street a lot more often now.”

Thiemann: “In the years before, it was super relaxed in Berlin. Almost no one recognized you there. That’s over now. But I think it’s nice.”

Their sporting status has also changed. Obst and Bonga are pillars in Bavaria’s star ensemble, and Giffey also plays regularly.

It’s even more blatant with Thiemann! Because Alba is in a state of upheaval, he has been carrying the team almost single-handedly for weeks. The 2.06 meter giant increased from 9.7 to 14.3 points per game in the league and is the best Alba thrower.

His contract expires in 2024. Many experts assume that he will sign with a top team in the Euroleague in the summer.

Three-way specialist Obst extended his contract with Bayern until 2026 before the World Cup. Bayern boss Marko Pesic (46): “Otherwise he would probably be in the NBA now.”

World champions are sought after…
