Marc Achim Suhr (born January 9, 1969 in Cologne ) is a former German basketball player .

life and career

Suhr played soccer until he was twelve years old. At the age of 14, he measured two meters. He started playing basketball at Pulheimer SC before joining the TSV Bayer 04 Leverkusen youth team .

He is a trained export merchant . At the age of 16, Suhr went to South Lake Tahoe High School , California . At the University of Connecticut he studied business administration from 1987 to 1991 with a basketball scholarship. He played a total of 25 games for the university team and scored a total of 23 points. His teammates there included Clifford Robinson , among others , while Suhr's coach was Jim Calhoun .

After stints in Germany in the Bundesliga ( Brandt Hagen , Steiner Bayreuth ), he moved to Italy in 1996, where he became champion with Pallacanestro Treviso . From 1997 to 1999 he played for TVG Trier and, according to his own statement, spent there “the best time of my career”. He won the DBB Cup with the team in 1998. After Suhr had scored 15.1 points and 6.5 rebounds per match for Trier in the 1998/99 Bundesliga season, he decided against an offer from the Skyliners Frankfurt and went to the first division promoted BCJ Hamburg . In Hamburg, as before in Trier, he achieved high statistical values ​​and averaged 14.1 points and 7.9 rebounds per match during the 1999/2000 game year. “At 2.15 meters, there is always a force under the basket. Sometimes he scores his points on the assembly line, sometimes he lays rows of lay-ups next to them, ”Suhr was described in 2000 by the professional magazine Basketball . In the 2000/01 season, in which he was relegated from the Bundesliga with Hamburg, the inside player had averages of 11.3 points and 7.9 rebounds per match. He then went to Telekom Baskets Bonn , but had to get by with considerably less working time than before in Hamburg. After a year in Bonn he went back to Trier, but the 2002/03 season was marked by a foot injury and he only played eight Bundesliga games. Due to osteoarthritis in both feet, he ended his professional career in 2003 and then played in the regional league while studying English, sport and economics to become a teacher.

In 1993, Suhr played four games for the German national basketball team .

His son Leon Kratzer also became a professional basketball player.
