Joshiko Saibou (born March 7, 1990 in Cologne ) is a German basketball player who was most recently under contract with Telekom Baskets Bonn .

Early years

Saibou grew up in Berlin and discovered his interest in basketball at an early age. He started basketball training at BSC Berlin at the age of six .

After moving to the "Mini" team in Berlin-Lichterfelde , which was trained by Marina Zöllner and Vera Pesic, Saibou played from 2000 to 2006 for TuS Lichterfelde , the then youth team of Alba Berlin .

After his year at Mount-Si High School in Washington State , he was invited to Alba's squad for the Junior Basketball League (NBBL).

Professional career

With the Alba youth team under coach Henrik Rödl , from which Niels Giffey , Andreas Seiferth , Konstantin Klein and Nico Adamczak emerged as active players  , he won the NBBL runner-up in 2008 and the NBBL U19 championship in 2009.

After graduating from the Coubertin Sports High School in Berlin, he signed his first professional contract with Alba Berlin, where he trained under coach Luka Pavićević ; He had the "lion's share" of his missions in Alba's second team in the regional league, where he confirmed his potential with good performances.

In 2010 he was named Youngster of the Month for November by the 2nd Bundesliga (average 11.6 points, 4.0 rebounds , 3.2 assists ). In 2011 Saïbou signed, again under Henrik Rödl, in the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) at TBB Trier , where he signed a two-year contract. For the 2013/2014 season he moved to the second highest division ( ProA ) for one year to the newly relegated Gießen 46ers , where he was appointed team captain under coach Denis Wucherer and with an average of 14.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.4 Assists in positions 1 and 2 with his team reached the semi-finals. Through his performance in the ProA, he brought up a conversation with Bundesliga clubs again.

For the 2014/2015 season, Saïbou signed with the BBL promoted Crailsheim Merlins . In the Merlins, Saibou was able to draw attention to himself with good performances in the BBL. However, the league did not succeed and the team was relegated to the ProA at the end of the season . Saibou then switched to the s.Oliver Baskets from Würzburg, who had returned to the BBL as a climber.

In 2016/2017 Saïbou returned to the Gießen 46ers and left the club after a year to play again for his home club Alba Berlin. At the beginning of November 2017, he was appointed to the German senior national team for the first time. While the starting player from Berlin was on the field for an average of just under 20 minutes per Bundesliga match in the 2017/18 season and scored 9.9 points per game, his playing time fell by around five minutes in the following season, including his average number of points halved. In both 2018 and 2019, Saibou was German runner-up with the Albatrosses, and he was in the final of the European club competition Eurocup with the Berliners in April 2019, which was lost to Valencia.

During the summer break of 2019, he moved within the Bundesliga to Telekom Baskets Bonn and received a contract until summer 2021. He played a total of 17 Bundesliga games (6.5 points / game) for the Rhinelander. At the beginning of August 2020 he was dismissed without notice (see section controversy ).

Private

Saibou is in a relationship with the athlete Alexandra Wester . Saibou and Wester are committed to social projects in West Africa.

controversy

In May 2020, Saibou published a video under the hashtag #AppellandenVerstand in which he said regarding the corona restrictions : “You reproduce what television, newspapers and politicians tell you. Do not question anything ”and added:“ Even when people are knocked down and arrested. This is for the good of everyone. "Saibou underlined this with a raised index finger and at the end of the video by putting on a protective mask and saying:" Well. Mince words . “ Wolfgang Wiedlich , the president of the Bonn team, distanced himself from these statements. Saibou's partner Wester accused Wiedlich and the media of "untruths and insults". She and Saibou had only "perceived the incision in basic rights and questioned this", Wester told the German press agency .

Ingo Weiss , President of the German Basketball Federation (DBB), said according to the association that he had a "very pleasant" phone call with the player. Saibou said that he wanted to stimulate discussion with his statements. "Whether that was the right shape and type, one can certainly argue about it," said the DBB. “Other opinions” should be “allowed and also endured”, it said on the part of the association. At the beginning of August 2020, Saibou was dismissed by the Bonn team without notice, the team management stated "violations of the requirements of the current employment contract as a professional athlete" as the reason. The association accused him, among other things, of having deliberately violated the protective rules at a demonstration and of representing a "permanent risk of infection". Saibou explained that he had a "clear conscience regarding my behavior at the demonstration and also regarding the use of my basic right, freedom of expression". In mid-August 2020, he announced that he would file a lawsuit against the termination of Telekom Baskets Bonn without notice.
