According to national team captain Schröder, the role of flag bearer would also be a social statement: “I’ve played in the national team for eleven years now, always giving my all. If I could carry the flag, that would be a cool thing for basketball and for me personally. That would be “I will never forget it. But it would also be a statement for the German-Africans and a sign against racism.”
The German national team sensationally won World Cup gold in Manila in September – and qualified for Paris. Schröder has a lot of confidence in his team for the games. “If we do our things and deliver, we can beat any team in the world. We also have a chance against a US team with a top line-up,” said the 30-year-old. If LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant are there, Schröder said, gold would “of course be difficult.” “Everything really has to be right” for this to happen.
The Summer Games in Paris will take place from July 26th to August 11th, 2024.
