David Charles Godbold (born November 3, 1985 in Oklahoma City , Oklahoma ) is an American basketball player . After graduating, Godbold began a professional career in 2009 that took him to Europe, where he initially played in Poland and Finland . In his two-year term in Slovakia at BK Prievidza he won in 2012 under coach Johan Roijakkers the Slovak Championship, for he also played in the BG Göttingen from 2013 to 2016 and in 2014 the highest German league basketball league rise.

Career

After graduating from Douglass High School , Godbold stayed in his home country and studied at the University of Oklahoma , where he played for four years for the college team Sooners in the NCAA's Big 12 Conference from 2004 onwards . In Godbold's time with the Sooners, they initially won no further championship in the Big 12 and in the national NCAA finals they were eliminated early in the second round in 2005 and in the first round in 2006. After the Sooners had failed to qualify for a postseason tournament in 2007 , they managed to return to the finals in 2008 with freshman Blake Griffin , in which they lost to the favored Cardinals of the University of Louisville in the second round . After the end of his college season in 2008, Godbold initially remained without professional engagement and played in the insignificant United Basketball League for the local team Impact , with which he won the championship of this league.

In the summer of 2009 Godbold signed a first professional contract with the club from Kwidzyn in the Polska Liga Koszykówki . After this team withdrew from the top division, he moved to league rivals Stal from Stalowa Wola . The team was in eleventh place at the end of the season with no chance of reaching the play-off round for the championship. In the 2010/11 season Godbold played in the Finnish Korisliiga for the Vilpas Vikings from Salo , with whom he only reached third from bottom in the main round. The following season he played in Slovakia for the club from Prievidza , which with the young Dutch coach Johan Roijakkers was able to win the 2012 Slovak championship again for the first time since 1996. While coach Roijakkers then moved to the German second division team in Göttingen , Godbold was unable to defend the title with the club from Prievidza in the 2012/13 season.

Finally, Roijakkers brought Godbold to Göttingen for the 2013/14 ProA season . After the team had missed their return to the top German division last year, Godbold, together with Harper Kamp and Alex Ruoff, among others, played a key role in ensuring that the ProA championship and promotion to the basketball league could be achieved. In the first season after the first division return, the team with team captain Godbold in the basketball Bundesliga 2014/15 only missed the play-offs of the best eight teams for the German championship on the last match day in tenth place . In the following season it was only enough to stay in the league on the last match day in 16th and third from last place. After Ruoff had already left the club a season earlier, Kamp and Godbold now also left the Göttingen team. Godbold only got a new contract with league competitor Phoenix from Hagen after the beginning of the following season in early October 2016 . There he was under contract until the end of November 2016, when Phoenix's Bundesliga license was revoked. He was then without a club.

In January 2018 he was signed again by the Hagen team. By the end of the 2017/18 season, he played 14 league games for Hagen (8.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists / game).
