Division III is Regionalliga. That's good - if your not a bench player from the own youth program you should have earned a few bucks. Germany won the eurpean championsship in 93, so the early 90's were a good time for german basketball. Our team played one of the players from the 93 championsship team a few weeks ago. Hansi Gnad, 6'10 and about 260pounds in good shape, now 46 years old. He still kicked our ass of course.
It was pretty solid competition. They were only allowed to have 2 Americans (or foreigners I should say) on each team. I made a little bit, blew it all on german beer and fests! I really liked Germany, it was a great time to be there. Many of the German players were very good and had played together for years, even though they were relatively young. Good chemistry.
