Obst Says Germany's EuroBasket Champions Are Only Getting Started

Guard Andreas Obst says sustained success depends on protecting team identity through deliberate continuity.

Overview

  • Germany added the European title to its 2023 World Cup crown, securing a second major trophy for the program.
  • The run underscored depth as NBA champion Isaiah Hartenstein and Moritz Wagner were absent throughout the tournament.
  • Obst told ZDF that the team has "a lot in store," pointing to reserves at home and an emerging generation of talent.
  • He cautioned that more trophies are not guaranteed and urged passing on the hard-won identity while involving the whole group.
  • Assistant Alan Ibrahimagić coached while head coach Álex Mumbrú was ill, with hopes Mumbrú returns for World Cup qualifying in late November after the title-clinching win over Turkey in Riga.
