From Quakenbrück to Oklahoma City, from the U-16 youth team of a German Bundesliga club to the NBA champion to Oklahoma, that’s a way that is as long as it sounds. At home with the Hartenstein, father Florian told the daily newspaper Taz, was a carpet in the living room in the form of a basketball field with a plastic basket in which the three -year -old Isaiah ball put in. “He had no chance,” said his father in retrospect, “it had to amount to basketball.”
Hartenstein was clear early: I want to go to the NBA
The properties that Hartenstein have brought so far do not differ from those of his model Nowitzki. Of course, talent and the physical requirements are needed, plus discipline and diligence, diligence and again diligence. “On New Year’s Eve I was always the strange thing that was in the hall. I was always there at twelve o’clock. They asked why you do that? And I said: I want to come to the NBA, I want to prove myself there, I want to win there.”
