Germany finally ended a 32-year wait for a EuroBasket crown on September 14, beating Türkiye 88-83 in a nail-biter final held in Riga, Latvia. The team’s return to Frankfurt was nothing short of epic, with fans flooding the square in jerseys and waving flags to celebrate a historic win! 🎉🏀
The real MVP of the day? Dennis Schroder. The point guard sank a decisive jumper and nailed two clutch free throws in the final minutes, sealing the victory. To top it off, fans surprised him by serenading him with a birthday song as he turned 32—talk about the ultimate gift! 🎂
Reflecting on the journey, Schroder said, "It has been a successful four years. In 2022, we started with bronze at the European Championships, followed by gold in 2023 at the FIBA World Cup, fourth place at the Olympics, and now gold at the European Championships. And we definitely wouldn't have made it without them."
With this win, Germany is riding high and looking ahead to more big moments. Whether you’re streaming highlights on your feed or catching the post-game hype with friends, Schroder’s birthday performance is one for the books! 🏆
