With his 24 points in the semi-final, Andreas Obst will forever remain the tormentor of the Americans in this World Cup. Renowned as a good shooter, the German guard delivered his best game of the competition, at the best moment with a nice 4 out of 8 3-pointers. Two days later, in the final against Serbia, he scored 7 points to help Germany win its first world title.
“This is something I will never forget, and I will need more months to realize” he explained to Eurohoops. “I’m back to my everyday life because there’s the Bayern Munich camp, but it’s an incredible feeling just talking about it. »
For Obst, only he and his compatriots can boast of being world champions, and the shooter returns to the debate launched by Noah Lyles and this famous term “world champion” visible on the T-shirts and caps of NBA champions .
“In the NBA they say they are world champions because the best players in the world play there, but they are still champions of a national league, and we in Germany are champions of a World Cup “, insists Serge Ibaka’s future teammate. “In the NBA, they’ve always had that attitude, that they’re the best at something and you can definitely give them credit for that in a lot of different areas. It’s funny how people still talk about it. They can call themselves whatever they want, the main thing doesn’t change. We are the world champions.”
