Bastian Kordyaka

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bastian Jonathan P. Kordyaka (born June 2, 1982 in Gießen ) is a former German basketball player . At the beginning of the 2000s, the 2.08-meter-tall wing and center player was one of the greatest young hopes in German basketball. In the course of his career he played for the Bundesliga clubs Brandt Hagen , RheinEnergy Cologne and DJK S. Oliver Würzburg . Kordyaka also played in the highest leagues in Austria, Finland and Switzerland.

Athletic career

youth

Kordyaka was born in Gießen in 1982 , where he made his first attempts as a basketball player and grew up in Herdecke in the Ennepe-Ruhr district from 1989 onwards . There he played in the youth department of the Tus Ende Herdecke and then for the offspring of Brandt Hagen . As a C-youth he became German champion with Brandt Hagen in 1996 and as a B-youth in 1998.

Professional basketball

At the age of 16 (in September 1998) he made his Bundesliga debut at Brandt Hagen . On October 4th, 1999, at the age of 17, he scored a memorable 17 points against future German champions Alba Berlin. Before the 2000/01 season, the specialist magazine Basketball certified that he had everything a good basketball player needed and ascribed him to be “athletic, agile, powerful”. After graduating from high school in 2001, he followed the call of Svetislav Pesic and moved from Hagen to Cologne to the newly formed first division club called RheinEnergy Cologne , with whom he won the German runner-up. After a year he moved on to DJK S. Oliver Würzburg within the Bundesliga and worked there with Holger Geschwindner , among others . For the 2003/04 season he returned to Brandt Hagen. The club stopped playing at the end of 2003 for financial reasons, so Kordyaka ended the 2003/04 season with the Austrian Bundesliga club Arkadia Traiskirchen .

Kordyaka continued his career abroad, playing for the Finnish first division clubs Aanekosken Huima and Joensuun Kataja between 2004 and 2006 . Unlike in Germany and Austria, where he only sporadically fulfilled the high expectations due to his great talent, he made a big impact in Finland. In 2006 he reached the Finnish runner-up with Kataja, made it to the cup final and after the end of the season was selected by the internet service eurobasket.com in the selection of the best European players in the Finnish league.

In 2006 he moved to FC Schalke 04 in the 2nd Bundesliga and continued his strong performances there in Finland. After the year in Gelsenkirchen in 2007, Kordyaka again accepted an offer from abroad and moved to Switzerland to the basketball national league team BBC Nyon .

The following season he moved back home because he wanted to devote more time to his academic obligations. In 2008 he joined the regional league team BBV Hagen , the successor club to Brandt Hagen, where he booked his first Bundesliga appearances ten years earlier. Kordyaka played two years for BBV Hagen, then one year each for BG Dorsten (with whom he made the promotion) and then again for FC Schalke 04 (both 1st regional league). After he had already ended his career, he was active for the Baskets Lüdenscheid in the 2nd regional league from December 2012 .

National team

Kordyaka played for the German U18 and U20 national teams from 1996 to 2001. In 2000 he took part in the internationally renowned Albert Schweitzer tournament with the German selection .

academic career

In addition to his basketball career, he first completed a degree in economics at the FernUniversität in Hagen , which he completed in 2010 with a degree in business administration. In the same year he took up a position as an employee at the chair for business administration at the FernUniversität in Hagen and began a second degree in psychology. In 2013 he obtained a bachelor's degree in the subject and a master's degree in 2015. Since May 2016 he has been working as a research assistant at the Chair of Information Systems and the Research College of the University of Siegen and is writing his doctoral thesis.
