"This is a huge opportunity for us to put Germany on the map and write basketball history. We're excited for the final.

Our style of basketball is unique; we play fast on both offense and defense, we run a lot, shoot, and rebound.

Our team is tough to scout, so if we play at a high level for 40 minutes, we can win, and it's hard to play against us. But we definitely need to be ready from the start." - Dennis Schröder
