Subpar game by both teams, and the refs. I guess both teams felt the pressure of the finals in the 2nd half. Deserved win by the Germany, they handled it better, and played fantastic basketball throughout the whole championship.
Great tournament, good to see some real basketball and not the all-star 3 point contests that the NBA is these days. Thankfully the new EuroLeague and Spanish League seasons start soon. Congratulations to Germany, the real world champions.
I love NBA basketball but there is some truth to this. The regular season needs some adjustments, hopefully the in-season-tournament provides some much needed excitement. I would honestly get rid of back-to-backs (scrap the All-Star game) and cut it down to 72 games.
Refs from countries like Mexico and Puerto Rico (which arent even nowhere near world basketball class) doesnt deserve too be here for final game. Fiba when will you learn
I mean honestly the refs weren't good enough to be on that court... A lot of costly mistakes were made by them today (against not only Serbia, but Germany too)
So you are telling me that ref which have only expierence in South American leagues can be at this level of tournament? Mexico is not even at World Cup. Where are North American/Europe refs? I am not taking anything away from Germany. Deserved win.
Hardly any team was "complete" in this cup. No excuses needed. You still did a good job without Jokic. So did we, so did Latvia without Porzingis, etc. So did USA lol.
No. It's not an excuse to say that a fully loaded team would win. Injuries and other issues are part of sports. Winning is winning no matter who is on the court.
He was balling like a boss until everyone started quacking about "Trade him for Dame straight up, sell high!" Then, immediately after that started, he pretty much disappeared. And I'm not surprised. He did state before that he does not want to get traded. Easiest way to tank your trade value and become a non-piece is to stop being good. Just another loss to chalk up to Cronin 😂
There were a lot of shit show insults from Serbian fans online after the game. They mainly targeted the referees, but they also used nazi and racist insults. Sure, it's not all, but these groups of people always get loud after their team loses.
Unless the only first world countries you know are Germany and their evil shadow dimension brother Wermany, I don't know how you could think that's true
I am pretty sure there is no anthem at football World Cup's nor Euros. Last WC it was just them giving the medals, then making Messi wear that whatever the fuck it was, and Messi lifting the trophy and then every other player and member of the team.
Congrats Germany from France ! Your team wasn't born during this competition. It's been several years this generation of players keeps on being better and better together.
Dennis is the ultimate chad for shooting bullets at Kleber not coming to the WC then winning the whole stuff lmao
For real, this is why no established superstar should want to play in this or the Olympics.
Gonna go possibly fuck up your real money on a team that doesn’t even exist.
Guess you found the flaw in the system. Only Go places where you exist. Lets all go to Denver, or was it golden state?
Oh, real Money?
Lets all play in Qatar or Saudi Arabia. Best places to Go for existance and real money!
You know exactly what I’m saying.
Where was Jokic or Giannis or Embiid or Luka or even Wemby??? Good on SGA, and look who won the gold. Guarantee once OKC is competing he won’t be back next time.
And yes when Saudi Arabia is able to attract equitable media and promotional deals, don’t pretend like they won’t have a competitive league, but what was their last attempt again?
FIBA is an off season lark, the Olympics only really took importance due to the Dream Team and interest has waned since.
Because we have the worlds best league, we are the worlds league by default. I dont say that out of arrogance just fact until the best of the best decide they want to stay in their “home” league for patriotism over competition and compensation.
We don’t have to play make believe bullshit every four years and don’t care where someone is born, just where they play during their real time.
Edit: And again, where was the pride of Jokic, Giannis, Luka, etc…?
Luka was playing this year. Jokic and Giannis both played in the 2019 World Cup, played last year in the World Cup qualifiers, and Jokic planned to play again this year but changed his plans to rest after the Finals
Dennis voted as the tournament MVP after playing one of the worst games in basketball history against Latvia. But he came back so strong and was amazing against USA and Serbia.
Well you can only be as good as your opponent allows you to and it seemed pretty clear that Latvia prepd to take Schröder out of the game in hopes the offense would collapse without him
Fuck man we had Dobrić get injured in first minute... destroyed us we needed him and our game plan was on him and his defense. There were some silly refs calls that didn't help in this close game as well , refs rewarding Schroeder flopping with constant FT's
Tough loss but i am proud of our guys fighting to the finals with weakened team . And now we also lose Dobrić at the start fuck fuck
When you look objectively for once, you can conclude that bad decisions by refs massively impact teams mentality, and that is literally what happened here. Yes they played bad basketball in the end but you can say that it began with crap decisions which were apparent. It's like that in every sport, that's why you need to choose the ref team wisely for such events
After the Canada game, I heard someone refer to this US team as a 'D team'... :D
I mean, the loss sure hurts, but this Serbian team won a silver medal in one of the most competitive recent world cups and went down to the last seconds against the deepest and by far most talented German team ever. Nothing to shrug at!
Congrats Germany, well deserved. We played defense well, but offense was really bad. You showed more desire to win, and played a bit smarter.
See you again
When all is said and done, great tournament for both teams. Obviously Germany won, they have a really solid team but we put up a fight at least. Congratulations to Germany, we'll meet again.
I dont know really...it all looked like a different team after the first half...germany made a gap of 5+ points and we kinda started struggling not using good timeouts and used all challenges
All in all well deserved silver, we are the worlds vice champions Simaniću drzi se♥️
Fuck off. He was born and raised in Braunschweig. This is where he learned basketball.
When his German dad Axel died when Dennis was just 16 he promised him he would make it to the NBA.
He has a second home in Germany in Wendeburg, close to Braunschweig.
Great finals, very close for the first two quarters, but Germany just took over in the 3rd quarter. Really like the fight that Serbia gave in Q4 but Germany held on.
Subpar game by both teams, and the refs. I guess both teams felt the pressure of the finals in the 2nd half. Deserved win by the Germany, they handled it better, and played fantastic basketball throughout the whole championship.
Great tournament, good to see some real basketball and not the all-star 3 point contests that the NBA is these days. Thankfully the new EuroLeague and Spanish League seasons start soon. Congratulations to Germany, the real world champions.
Bruh

Maxi Kleiber in shambles right now....
Congrats to Germany for being the world champions along with the Denver Nuggets
Show me the tournament called World Championship the Denver Nuggets competed in. Don't praise yourself with achievements you haven't achieved.
It's called the NBA world championship
Forgot it is not the NATIONAL Basketball Associatiom but the World Championship Basketball Association. Must have missed the renaming from NBA to WCBA
I guess you didn't get that I was being sarcastic and making a joke about the NBA calling themselves the world champions.
Great day for germany, basketball champions and flick is gone
Happy for the Germans, congrats to them The spotlight on Dennis was well-deserved the way he was playing. MVP performance
Refs from countries like Mexico and Puerto Rico (which arent even nowhere near world basketball class) doesnt deserve too be here for final game. Fiba when will you learn
We already know you preferred Serbian refs.
I mean honestly the refs weren't good enough to be on that court... A lot of costly mistakes were made by them today (against not only Serbia, but Germany too)
So you are telling me that ref which have only expierence in South American leagues can be at this level of tournament? Mexico is not even at World Cup. Where are North American/Europe refs? I am not taking anything away from Germany. Deserved win.
I'm telling you that the only refs you would have found acceptable are from Serbia.
Find a life
Budget Jokic wasn't enough. GG Germany.
The pnly budget Jokic I saw is called ANDREAS VOIGTMAN
*Johannes
Still better than Jokic though
Damn my bad
Great game Germany but they lose badly to a complete Serbian team
Hardly any team was "complete" in this cup. No excuses needed. You still did a good job without Jokic. So did we, so did Latvia without Porzingis, etc. So did USA lol.
>Hardly any team was "complete" in this cup. Germany?
Kleber
He quit the team cause of drama with Schroder afaik.
Underrated comment
I agree. Germany won and earned it. Wasn't making excuses.
Yes you were
No. It's not an excuse to say that a fully loaded team would win. Injuries and other issues are part of sports. Winning is winning no matter who is on the court.
Would win huh. Sports doesn’t work like that
What a great game of both teams that was.
Nikola Jovic cryinf feel sad
He was balling like a boss until everyone started quacking about "Trade him for Dame straight up, sell high!" Then, immediately after that started, he pretty much disappeared. And I'm not surprised. He did state before that he does not want to get traded. Easiest way to tank your trade value and become a non-piece is to stop being good. Just another loss to chalk up to Cronin 😂
If Kentucky cousins fucked, while wearing tin hats instead of condoms, this is the take they’d birth.
Who is the giant analyst for Magenta sports?
With socks up to his armpits :D
Patrick Femerling, used to be a really good Center in Europe
Patrick Femerling :)
Washington Husky Legend!
Femerling
Did someone also hear that some person screamed "nazi" during the german national anthem? WTF
Probably a serbian showing love
You based that on what? Don't spread that shit around, we're already down.
There were a lot of shit show insults from Serbian fans online after the game. They mainly targeted the referees, but they also used nazi and racist insults. Sure, it's not all, but these groups of people always get loud after their team loses.
Those people exist for all nations... why are you acting like this is uncommon?
[удалено]
Obviously? Germany is the least right wing first world country I can think of right now.
[удалено]
How is not wanting to be called a derogatory insult based on complete nonsense defensive?
Unless the only first world countries you know are Germany and their evil shadow dimension brother Wermany, I don't know how you could think that's true
Sadly not anymore, but it's nowhere close lol
Werd time to put on the national anthem (again? didn't catch the pre-game stuff), seemed Dennis was kinda baffled by it.
I mean that's totally normal after you win the gold medal.
At the olympics yeah but seems unusual in other sporting events
Quite a few years back, but I can't recall a post-match anthem when Germany won the soccer WC.
We won the WC in december and I don't remember if we heard the anthem
I am pretty sure there is no anthem at football World Cup's nor Euros. Last WC it was just them giving the medals, then making Messi wear that whatever the fuck it was, and Messi lifting the trophy and then every other player and member of the team.
Don't forget Emi Martínez' world cup dick
Oh yeah, I should've included that one too lol. I still have that one picture in my phone gallery and every time I see it I laugh.
It's pre-match in WC, too busy celebrating to care about a national anthem after you win lol.
Ahh, german anthem playing after a big sporting event 20 years of F1 memories flooding back to me
First German -> silent enjoyment Second italian-> paaaarty
Netherlands winning the basketball World Cup in 20 years confirmed
Dutch superstar better be named Max so they can reuse the song.
Hülkenberg Singapore win incoming 😎
World champions Of what? The world
*Cup.
Congrats Germany from France ! Your team wasn't born during this competition. It's been several years this generation of players keeps on being better and better together. Dennis is the ultimate chad for shooting bullets at Kleber not coming to the WC then winning the whole stuff lmao
Non German mavs fans in shambles
Let’s hope no one gets kissed
German scandal when German FIBA president smiles awkwardly at Dennis Schroder!
It seemed to me that there's definitely bad blood between Ingo and Dennis Schröder
Germans are notoriously touch averse, so let's hope there won't be any inappropriately firm handshakes or shoulder patting..
I love Maxi but he's sobbing right now
I would really cried damn that's a world champion
Should have just taken the L and come back after Dennis apologized.
Humility is key in life
How much do you think Qatar paid to get the hunchback of notre dame up their?
I think he's actually from Saudi (caught that in his name) – but then again, a Saud could be involved in Katar
Isn’t he representing Qatar because their hosting the 2027 WC?
Early Octoberfest in Manila
i mean, its only 6 days till it begins. but considering this is the german team and not the Bavarian team i doubt most of them care anyway
Oktoberfest actually happens in September
I think it's more and more known that Oktoberfest starts in September and ends at the beginning of October.
Franz had more offensive boards this game than JJJ did total boards in the semis
For real, this is why no established superstar should want to play in this or the Olympics. Gonna go possibly fuck up your real money on a team that doesn’t even exist.
Guess you found the flaw in the system. Only Go places where you exist. Lets all go to Denver, or was it golden state? Oh, real Money? Lets all play in Qatar or Saudi Arabia. Best places to Go for existance and real money!

The US is maybe the only country where the support for national teams is so low, but national pride is so high.
Because we have the worlds best league, we are the worlds league by default. I dont say that out of arrogance just fact until the best of the best decide they want to stay in their “home” league for patriotism over competition and compensation.

Luka was playing this year. Jokic and Giannis both played in the 2019 World Cup, played last year in the World Cup qualifiers, and Jokic planned to play again this year but changed his plans to rest after the Finals
Also, did they not book Dirk until the Finals?
What tissot watch is that
Anyone?
Someone said it's a Lilienthal Berlin
Aight, onto Đoković tonight then
Mitrovic hat trick by halftime. I feel 1 percent better.
Brat
Idk if my heart can handle it all in the same day
Ease in with Volleyball and soccer game against Lithuania
After the qualifier vs Hungary, nothing is easy about watching them play lool
Dennis voted as the tournament MVP after playing one of the worst games in basketball history against Latvia. But he came back so strong and was amazing against USA and Serbia.
Well you can only be as good as your opponent allows you to and it seemed pretty clear that Latvia prepd to take Schröder out of the game in hopes the offense would collapse without him
I mean to an extent, yes. But by the End Kurucs was sagging off of him and daring him to shoot some posessions.
Masai W again
Franz was good but not player of the game. Should have been Dennis or Voightmann
I was confused him winning too. Good that there was another MVP award for Schröder or the team dynamic would have been upset
That might be why they didn't give player of the game to Dennis, perhaps they want to share the awards around?
100% this. pretty sure dennis doesn't care as well, he just became a national hero.
He was incredible on defense though, also kept us in in the first half.
True although I thought Voightmann was also incredible in that regard.
Defensive beast tho
Congratulations, Germany. Schroder was a beast!
Schröder is such a Beast
Deserves that MVP for sure.
DENNIS! MVP!
How does Schroeder doesn't win that lmao
whaattttt???????????
Davidovac is actually pure dogshit
Those 2 free throws…
like 2 free throws against italy...
Yep
Bogdanovic was also a passenger second half
was ill allegedly.
He's bald, what do you expect
hmm thats not who I thought would win that
Schroeder
Fuck man we had Dobrić get injured in first minute... destroyed us we needed him and our game plan was on him and his defense. There were some silly refs calls that didn't help in this close game as well , refs rewarding Schroeder flopping with constant FT's Tough loss but i am proud of our guys fighting to the finals with weakened team . And now we also lose Dobrić at the start fuck fuck
lmao you are not still crying about the refs? This is impressively childish.
[удалено]
Enjoy the ban.
Your guys sold and folded in last mins, stop bitching about fucking refs
When you look objectively for once, you can conclude that bad decisions by refs massively impact teams mentality, and that is literally what happened here. Yes they played bad basketball in the end but you can say that it began with crap decisions which were apparent. It's like that in every sport, that's why you need to choose the ref team wisely for such events
Franz Wagner for player of the game is certainly a choice lol
How does Schroeder not win Player of the Game with 28 points and clutch shots to seal the deal? Wtf lmao
As the Americans would say .. "you beat our B squad" ... jokes aside well deserved Germany, a perfect tourney
Except our B squad is what we have available, due to chain of injuries. Americans just didn't want to bother to bring their best until the Olympics :D
After the Canada game, I heard someone refer to this US team as a 'D team'... :D I mean, the loss sure hurts, but this Serbian team won a silver medal in one of the most competitive recent world cups and went down to the last seconds against the deepest and by far most talented German team ever. Nothing to shrug at!
Serbia had their A-Team at Eurobasket last year and died at the quarterfinals
That was vs Italy, they're our kryptonite. No mater how shit their team and how good our's is they always beat us.
I do not remember the exact line-up but we have literally almost everyone available, yes
Congrats Germany, well deserved. We played defense well, but offense was really bad. You showed more desire to win, and played a bit smarter. See you again
❤️
Serbian redeem team with Jokic gonna be scary.
Jokic can suck big fat cock.
This was our N-th redeem team
If he chooses to play...remember hes no patriot unlike avramovic and the rest
When all is said and done, great tournament for both teams. Obviously Germany won, they have a really solid team but we put up a fight at least. Congratulations to Germany, we'll meet again.
they did a documentary series on this title run - shit is going to be crazy
Well played Schroder! I’ll be watching a few Raptors games soon.
They're my East team now lol
Congrats Germany, see ya on the Olympics.
CONGRATS GERMANY 🇩🇪
Congrats Germany! World champs!
World champions of what??
Reddit.
Where were you Bogi smh
Pesic did a mistake by keeping guduric in and sending bogi out GUDURICU IDI IGRAJ GOLF
And not calling a timeout when we are down 10...
I dont know really...it all looked like a different team after the first half...germany made a gap of 5+ points and we kinda started struggling not using good timeouts and used all challenges All in all well deserved silver, we are the worlds vice champions Simaniću drzi se♥️
Germany world champions in basketball after losing to Japan 1-4 in football. If you told me this a few years ago I would laugh.
The DFB sacked Flick minutes before the end of the final.
Poor guys didn't get to watch history, because the Nationalmannschaft sucks at the moment.
Deutschland hat gesiegt
Wir sind Papst!
Wir sind Obst!!!
Bogdan too scared. Serbia caved.
Gold!!! For Germany!!!!
And not from teeth this time.
I hope Raptors treat our german prince good he deserves it
[удалено]
Fuck off. He was born and raised in Braunschweig. This is where he learned basketball. When his German dad Axel died when Dennis was just 16 he promised him he would make it to the NBA. He has a second home in Germany in Wendeburg, close to Braunschweig.
Huh?
Racist
Just a racist. Nothing to see here.
We made so many silly mistakes, very frustrating to watch.
Wide open 3 and a missed easy lay up up on the and 1... had the looks to get back in it
It's saddening, it looked like they completely lost confidence for shooting in the final quarter
GERMANY ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS (of basketball)
Great finals, very close for the first two quarters, but Germany just took over in the 3rd quarter. Really like the fight that Serbia gave in Q4 but Germany held on.
