Franz Wagner on winning World Cup with his brother Moritz: It's so surreal, it doesn't make sense
Not only did Germany star forward Franz Wagner become a world champion but accomplished it while sharing the floor with his older brother Moe. “It’s special,” Wagner said after being asked how it feels to win the World Cup with his brother as teammate. Special to have our parents here too. This is so surreal, it doesn’t make sense that we are both on this team and we can enjoy it.”

Dennis Schroder went to EuroBasket last summer without an NBA contract. He played his way into a return with the Lakers, helped Los Angeles make the WCF, then just got named MVP of the World Cup after leading Germany to the gold medal with Franz Wagner. Quite a story. – 10:53 AM

Franz Wagner is an international legend already. Bronze medal at Eurobasket, gold medal at the FIBA World Cup. What a run over the last 12 months. #FIBAWC #KoerbeFuerD #MagicTogether – 10:50 AM

Germany are the world champions of basketball, tremendous throughout to finish undefeated. Dennis Schroeder led from the front, Franz Wagner’s return from injury was huge, and their defence was impeccable. Shoutout Coach Gordie Herbert, a Canadian will get a gold medal!

One hand you want to congratulate the Orlando Magic for being savvy enough to draft Franz Wagner No.8 in 2021, but then remember they took Jalen Suggs at five. Doubt if Wagner would go lower than third in the redraft. – 9:28 AM

Trevor Gleeson breaks down the offensive game of Franz Wagner, who has looked superb since returning from an ankle injury two games ago. It will be a massive task for Serbia to slow the young German star down.

“There were so many moments this year in so many games that the other team made a run, this game, the game before against the States,” Wagner said. “We never let it slip, we just kept playing and kept staying together. That made a huge difference in all these games.” -via EuroHoops.net / September 10, 2023
