Dennis Schröder: From NBA Champion to Olympic Hopeful

Basketball world champion Dennis Schröder is far from thinking about ending his career. He could “play easily up to 40,” said the 30-year-old NBA professional in an interview with “Kicker”.

“In the NBA until 35 or 36, then I could return to Germany at a good level and shake up the league a bit.” Development player Schröder moved from the Toronto Raptors to the Brooklyn Nets a few weeks ago in the best league in the world.

Schröder doesn’t run out of sporting goals. In Germany he wants to win a championship title with his home club Braunschweig in the distant future. This summer the Olympic Games are on the program in Paris and Lille. “In Paris they are now coming with LeBron James, Steph Curry, Jayson Tatum, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, Jimmy Butler and other superstars. “It will be difficult, but nothing is impossible and we have a chance,” said Schröder, referring to the US team. At the World Cup in Manila, Germany – led by Schröder – won the direct duel.

Schröder would like to carry the flag for Germany at the Olympics, as Dirk Nowitzki did in Beijing in 2008. «If not a basketball player now, then when again? We won the World Cup! “I would like to have all twelve carry the flag, I’m completely serious,” he said.
