Detlef Schrempf (born January 21, 1963 in Leverkusen ) is a former German national basketball player who has only had US citizenship since losing his German citizenship .

At the beginning of his active career he was the best German basketball player of his time and played in the NBA for 16 years . There, the 2.08 meter tall Schrempf was used in both forward positions from 1985 to 2001 and was nicknamed "Det the Threat" (German: "Detlef, the threat") at high school in Washington State. . With the Seattle SuperSonics he was able to reach the NBA Finals once in the 90s and was NBA All-Star three times .

Player career

Schrempf, who comes from Leverkusen-Boddenberg and whose father Berthold worked as a road construction and sewer worker, first played soccer in his hometown and then played basketball in the youth department of Bayer 04 Leverkusen . He was discovered by Otto Reintjes when Schrempf was playing basketball with a school team in the Wilhelm-Dopatka-Halle . Reintjes was one of his sponsors as a youth coach. Schrempf, who developed enormous ambition and diligence in training and, according to his father, “only had the sport on his mind”, later described his basketball training by Reintjes as good and comprehensive. Reintjes was convinced that the position of a player should not be determined by his height, so Schrempf. Henning Harnisch said of Schrempf that he was more fanatical about basketball “than everyone I know”.

In 1980/81 Schrempf attended high school in Centralia in Washington State as an exchange student , and he led the team to win the championship title in Washington in 1981. From 1981 he studied international business at the University of Washington in Seattle and played for the University of Washington Huskies . Thanks to his hard work, Schrempf continued to develop both playfully and physically. In 122 games for the university team, he scored 1449 points, or 11.9 per encounter. That put him in sixth place in the team's all-time basketball list when he left university in 1985. Schrempf achieved his best season point average (16.8) at the University of Washington in 1983/84. In his senior year he was the team captain.

NBA

In the 1985 NBA Draft , he was selected eighth by the Dallas Mavericks . At the Mavericks he was a supplementary player and mostly came from the bench. Schrempf's breakthrough came with the move to the Indiana Pacers in 1989, where he was named the best substitute player in the NBA ( Sixth Man of the Year ) in 1991 and 1992 . In 1993 he was first invited to the NBA All-Star Game .

In the same year he moved to Seattle to join SuperSonics . Here Schrempf celebrated his greatest successes in addition to his time with the Indiana Pacers and moved into the NBA finals in 1996 alongside Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp . However, Seattle lost the series 2-4 against the Chicago Bulls with superstar Michael Jordan . He received two additional All-Star nominations during his time in Seattle in 1995 and 1997. In February 1999 Schrempf met on the first day of the shortened NBA season 1998/99 on the Dallas Mavericks with his compatriot Dirk Nowitzki , in his first NBA mission.

After the end of the 1998/99 season, Schrempf was released from the Sonic and moved to the Portland Trail Blazers , where he - in a quarreling team - could no longer build on his earlier successes. In October 2000, at the age of 37, he announced the end of his playing career and his contract lasted until 2001. Due to an injury to his former teammate Scottie Pippen , Schrempf made 26 appearances during his last year of contract.

He was elected to the "Sonics 40th Anniversary Team" in 2006; this is a selection of the 16 best SuperSonics from 40 years of club history. The former German NBA player is on the list of candidates for the FIBA Hall of Fame .

National team

Schrempf took part with the German national junior team in the 1982 European championship and the 1983 world championship. In both tournaments he was the best scorer in the German team. In 1983 he was also the top performer of the German men's national team at the European Championships in France and with 15.3 points per match he was the most successful offensive player in the DBB selection. At the 1984 Summer Olympics , he scored 18.9 points per game, which was also the highest score for the German team; at the 1985 European Championship , Schrempf was the third-best scorer of all tournament participants with 24.4 points per game, and he achieved fifth place with Germany.

This was followed by a seven-year break in the national team, in the elimination round for the Olympic Games in 1992 Schrempf returned to the now all-German selection. In the subsequent games in Barcelona he got a point value of 23.1 per use and was in fifth place in the basket hunter list of the Olympic tournament.

After the Olympia 92 Schrempf no longer played for the national team. In total, he played 71 full international matches, his best performance he achieved in May 1985 when he scored 39 points against France in his hometown of Leverkusen.

After the playing career

After his playing days, Schrempf devoted himself to his charitable foundation, the "Detlef Schrempf Foundation", which was founded in 1996. Among other things, it collects money for young people in need through celebrity golf tournaments and gala events and raised around 20 million US dollars. He had previously been involved in charitable causes since 1993. He held his last charity gala in the summer of 2017. In 1999 Schrempf was one of the founders of a fund that invested in equity capital and real estate, among other things. Schrempf took on tasks in the areas of marketing, fundraising and consulting. As a player, he had taken over 30 percent of the shares in the French basketball club Olympique Antibes in 2000.

From January 2006, Detlef Schrempf was assistant trainer at the Seattle Supersonics for two years . In 2007 he turned down the offer to work alongside Dirk Bauermann as an assistant coach for the German national team because he feared he would be separated from his family for too long. In 2010 he held a managerial position for an asset management company in Bellevue . Schrempf is a co-founder of an association that brings people closer to the nutritional benefits of fish and seafood.

Schrempf remained connected to German basketball, among other things, as a member of the advisory board of the Basketball Bundesliga. He has been a member of the committee since it was founded in 2009. He also worked in youth camps in Germany and other countries.

After accepting US citizenship, Schrempf was expatriated and his German passport was confiscated because, according to his own statements, he had failed to apply for a residence permit. He is married to Mary Wagner , a former athlete from TSV Göggingen Augsburg , whom he met in the current sports studio of ZDF . He has two sons with her. Son Alexander also played basketball and was part of the German junior national team, the second son Michael is learning disabled.
