Juergen Emil Malbeck (* 5. April 1974 in Nördlingen ) is a retired German Basketball - National Team .

Life

Malbeck played soccer as a teenager and started playing basketball when he was twelve.

The 2.15 m tall and 114 kg heavy center player went to study in the United States after finishing school . During his freshman year he was at Santa Fe College in Gainesville (Florida) , which his compatriot Arne Alig , of comparable size, had previously attended. Like Alig, Malbeck stood out in particular as a shot blocker on the Saints college basketball team , who play in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). He then got the opportunity to move to Hawai'i Pacific University (HPU), where he played for the Sea Warriors in the NAIA college league. In this smaller and less important league compared to the NCAA , Malbeck was able to excel and was elected to the All-American team of the nation's best players in this league in 1996 and 1997 . In the 1996/97 season he was even the NAIA's Player of the Year. He scored 1,456 points for the college team and was in second place in the Hawai'i Pacific University's all-time basketball list when he left it in 1997. With 649 rebounds, he secured third place in the high school team's list, but later slipped when his value was exceeded. End of 2011 Malbeck was honored for his sporting achievements at the HPU to him in 1997 a trial with the Phoenix Suns in the doped highest professional league NBA allowed in the "Athletics Hall of Fame" ( German  Hall of Fame Sports included) at the University and his shirt number 51 from now on withdrawn from another award within the basketball team. During his time at the HPU, he was also appointed to the German national basketball team for the first time and took part in the final round of the 1997 European Basketball Championship (4 games: 0.2 points / game).

After returning from the US, Malbeck joined the German record champions Bayer Leverkusen in 1997 . With the Farbenstädtern he could not continue their earlier successes and in 1999 finally moved to Athlon Ieper in Flemish Ypres . After two seasons he returned to Leverkusen in 2001 for two more years in the German basketball league before moving to the Rhineland second division team Dragons from Rhöndorf in 2003. The former first division also decided not to return to the House of Lords. In the league, which has been divided into two parts since 2007, they even withdrew to the lower ProB season in 2008, where they won the championship again at the end of Malbeck's career in 2010. Although Malbeck had previously announced that he wanted to concentrate on his professional career, he joined the league competitor and promoted Schwelmer Baskets in the summer of 2010 , who had also played first-class in the past. There he only played at home games due to his professional commitments and also completed less training. After one season, Malbeck finally renounced higher-class basketball in 2011 and then played in his spare time at TV Ronsdorf in the major league, which corresponds to the sixth grade in basketball.
