The Nets guard makes history as the first player in the franchise to be ever be given this responsibility.
Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Schroder has been officially announced as Germany's flag bearer at the 2024 Paris Olympics. This is the first time any Net has been granted such an opportunity. Schroder expressed his excitement for the responsibility on Instagram in his native language, German."DEUTSCHLAND DEUTSCHLAND DEUTSCHLAND. We made it through. To all the people who voted for me, thank you very much you’re the best ever. Being able to share this feeling with you is unbelievable.
Schroder captained Germany to an undefeated record at the 2023 FIBA World Cup, 8-0 to be exact, to help win the country’s first World Cup. There, the German guard rose to the occasion, putting up 19.1 points and 6.1 assists a game, and was one of the go-to guys down the stretch of close games, fully establishing himself as one of the primary closers for this team. His efforts were enough to win the World Cup's MVP honors.
The Germans continue to wrap up pre-Olympic friendlies, with their most recent outing falling short in a nail-biter versus tournament favorites, Team USA. If that was a preview of what's to come by the time the tournament starts, buckle up.Ajayi has covered the NBA for several years, most notably covering the league at large for SLAM and the Brooklyn Nets at several outlets before joining Inside the Nets.
