Karim Johannes Jallow (born April 13, 1997 in Munich ) is a German basketball player . He plays for the Bundesliga club Basketball Löwen Braunschweig . With the FC Bayern youth team, Jallow won the club's first championship in this U19 age group in the youth basketball league (NBBL) in 2015. Almost four months later, Jallow made his debut for FC Bayern in the top German men's basketball division on the first day of the 2015/16 season .

Career

Jallow's father, like the mother of the German national player Dennis Schröder, comes from Gambia and settled with his German wife in Munich in 1995, where Karim was born two years later. Jallow has played for FC Bayern Munich since 2006 and, together with Tim Hasbargen and Richard Freudenberg, qualified for a final tournament in the national youth leagues for the first time in 2012 in the youth basketball league (JBBL). In the final, they finally lost to the offspring of the Paderborn Baskets and became runner-up. In the following two years, first in the JBBL and then in the higher age group of the youth basketball league (NBBL), Jallow and his teammates missed the qualification for the final tournament. After Richard Freudenberg, who was a year younger, joined the NBBL team, not only did they qualify for the NBBL Top Four for the first time , but also, after winning the semi-finals over defending champion Alba Berlin , the final victory and a surprising title win over the offspring from Eintracht Frankfurt around Niklas Kiel , who, wearing the Paderborn Baskets jersey, had prevented Bayern from winning the JBBL title three years earlier. While the men's team lost their championship title in the final series of the basketball Bundesliga 2014/15 against Brose Baskets, the U14 team of the club around Jallow's five-year-old brother Noah also won the championship in this age group for the first time.

After an ankle injury in the summer of 2015, Jallow and his teammate Dejan Kovačević again missed participation in a European Championship final with a DBB selection team . Nonetheless, Jallow not only made it into the ranks of the runner-up, he was also used by coach Svetislav Pešić in two games at the start of the 2015/16 basketball Bundesliga and received his first few minutes in the top German basketball league .

In the summer of 2016 Jallow drove with the U20 national team to the European Championship in Helsinki, where they finished fourth. At the U20 European Championship in the summer of 2017, he reached seventh place overall with the German team and scored an average of 9.9 points per match.

In mid-April 2018, Jallow signed up for the North American professional league NBA's draft proceedings , but had his name removed from the list of candidates in June. On July 25, 2018 it was announced that Jallow would be loaned to the MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg for one season . In August 2018, he was appointed to the senior national team for the first time by national coach Henrik Rödl . At the Supercup in Hamburg , Jallow made his debut with the DBB men in September 2018 in the game against Turkey. With Germany's A2 selection, he took part in the Summer Universiade in Naples in 2019 and finished the event in fifth place. With an average of 13.2 points per match, he was the best German scorer in the tournament.

During the summer break of 2019, Jallow moved within the Bundesliga from Ludwigsburg to Braunschweig .
