Eyinmisan Edward Ogharanemeye Haldin (born July 7, 1982 in Berlin ) is a German basketball player . The son of a Nigerian father and a Finnish mother played, in addition to a season in Greece and stations in Germany, in particular for Italian clubs. In January 2012, Haldin and his siblings, of whom his sister Roli-Ann Haldin was also a German national player in the German women's basketball team , decided to take their mother's surname after they had previously achieved their greatest successes under their father's surname Nikagbatse had celebrated.

Career

Haldin comes from the Alba Berlin farm team , TuS Lichterfelde. At TuSLi , he made his first senior games and reached the athletic qualification for the first basketball league with the team in 2000 . At the Albert Schweitzer tournament in 2000 he had a strong performance with the German national youth team, which also made him interesting for foreign clubs. Despite having signed a five-year contract with Alba, he requested the contract to be terminated in order to play in Italy. After Alba could not agree on the transfer modalities with the interested parties, a knee injury at Haldin also ensured that he was practically absent for a season.

In the 2001/02 season he was finally signed by the top Greek club Olympiacos Piraeus. With the club from Piraeus , he was able to celebrate the cup victory in 2002 and achieve the runner-up. During the following season he moved to Italy after a few games for Piraeus. In Udine he got significantly more playing time. In the 2003/04 season he returned to Germany and played for the MBC from Weissenfels . With the MBC he was able to win the FIBA EuroCup Challenge . He then made high hopes for a commitment by an NBA club, which were not fulfilled. After the bankruptcy of the MBC, he played again in Italy the following season, this time in Roseto degli Abruzzi . With Roseto Basket he was able to reach the play-offs for the Italian championship, where they were eliminated in the quarter-finals. In the following season he was initially active for 12 games at Pallacanestro Cantù, whose greatest successes were in the 80s with two titles in the European Cup . At the beginning of 2006 he moved to the Sutor Baskets of Montegranaro in the second Italian league and entered into with the association Lega Basket Serie A on. In the 2006/07 season he narrowly missed the play-offs for the championship with the promoted team.

In 2007 Haldin finally returned to Germany and played in Cologne . As with his season for MBC, the season in Cologne was overshadowed by financial problems, which in January 2008 led to the termination of a large number of contracts with top players such as Immanuel McElroy and Aleksander Nadjfeji . Haldin's move to another club failed. Instead, he was tested positive for THC and only banned from doping because of a current injury. As a result, he was no longer taken under contract by the successor company of the Köln 99ers. He returned to Italy and helped Pallacanestro Varese, five-time European Cup winner of the 70s, in the 2008/09 season to the championship in the LegaDue and to return to the top Italian division. After injury problems, he made a fresh start in his hometown in the 2nd regional league at DBV Charlottenburg , the successor club to the former Bundesliga club DTV Charlottenburg, which was also a predecessor of Alba Berlin. After a year he left the club and joined the LTi Gießen 46ers for the 2011/12 season . He was released there on February 20, 2012. Coach Björn Harmsen justified the measure with an insufficient commitment compared to the overall squad for relegation.

After the end of his playing career, he founded a company that offers basketball training for children and young people.

National team

Haldin took part in three finals with the German national basketball team under his original family name Nikagbatse. He was able to win the bronze medal at the 2002 World Cup. After a disappointing European Championship in 2003 he was able to reach the final with the team at the European Championship 2005, where the team had to admit defeat against Greece .
