John Goldsberry (* 19th October 1982 in Vandalia , the US state of Ohio ) is a retired American basketball player who after his studies since 2006 in the German basketball league played.
career
The 1.91 m wide and 85 kg Point guard studied from 2002 to 2006 in his home country at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and played for the college team Seahawks in the NCAA Division I. Gold Berry was in the top list of the team in basket Template on first place and second place for ball wins when he left them in 2006. These values showed his great understanding of the game and his good eye. On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Colonial Athletic Association, he was voted one of the best basketball players in the history of this NCAA conference. Teammates in his first year with the Seahawks included former Bremerhaven BBL player Craig Callahan and Brett Blizzard .
After completing his studies in 2006, Goldsberry moved to Germany together with Beckham Wyrick , another teammate, where he first played one season for the Bayer Giants from Leverkusen and then signed with the Artland Dragons in Quakenbrück . The surprise team of the 2007 play-offs was eliminated as runner-up in the main round against eventual runner-up Telekom Baskets Bonn in the quarter-finals in 2008, where Goldsberry's 2007 Bayer Giants also ended. In the cup competition, however, the Lower Saxony with Goldsberry were right at the front and brought the title to the small town.
In the 2008/2009 season he followed his Quakenbrücker coach Chris Fleming to the Brose Baskets in Bamberg , where his long-time team-mate Wyrick also moved. In the first season in Bamberg Goldsberry was only able to play 19 games due to an injury, seven of them in the play-offs , where this time he went to the semi-finals against the eventual champions EWE Baskets Oldenburg . After an increase at the end of the season, Brose Baskets, who were fifth in the main round, won both the cup and the championship in the following season , each in the final against the Skyliners from Frankfurt am Main . After the double in 2010, Goldsberry and Wyrick parted ways again, as the latter followed Chris Fleming's predecessor in Bamberg, the German national coach Dirk Bauermann , to FC Bayern Munich in the second Pro A division . After another double with Bamberg in 2011, Goldsberry fell out for eight months due to cartilage damage in his left knee.
After Brose Baskets' early elimination against Artland Dragons in the 2014 play-offs, Goldsberry announced his retirement from competitive sports. He recently struggled with ongoing injury problems. The American played a total of 226 Bundesliga games. He recorded the best statistical values of his time in Germany in Leverkusen in 2006/07, when he averaged 8.1 points per match and prepared 4.2 basket hits from teammates. Goldsberry's strength as a player has been described as having "thought this one famous second faster" and overlooked "this ten centimeters more" than other players, not shying away from responsibility, but tearing the events to himself at crucial moments and completely in the service of the team and even appeared in important games despite health problems.
After the end of his basketball career, he returned to his home country and worked as a financial advisor.
