Nowitzki-Kaman Give Germany The Edge

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 15:51:41 +1900

In the GUARDIAN, Barney Spender writes "Dirk Nowitzki is arguably Europe's most successful basketball export but it could be Germany's newest recruit Chris Kaman who gives them the edge in the quarter-finals of the Olympic qualifiers in Athens on Friday. The Los Angeles Clippers centre only received his passport last week but was slipped straight into the side for the opening group match against Cape Verde. He made an immediate impression and followed up with a 20-point performance against New Zealand. "It has been hard work for Chris because although he is a great player he has had to fit in quickly with the chemistry of the team. But he has been fantastic," said team mate Konrad Wysocki. "
