On the day that Germany celebrated its triumph at EuroBasket 2025, a moment of unexpected levity occurred involving star player Dennis Schröder and Turkish head coach Ergin Ataman.
As reported by BILD, the MVP of the tournament clearly didn’t hold back during the jubilant festivities aboard the team bus. When news broke that Ataman had been crowned the best coach of the tournament, Schröder erupted with a pointed remark: “Ataman, get lost. Best coach? Not in my book.”
This exchange highlights Schröder’s firm disagreement with the decision to award Ataman the honor, showcasing his unabashed candidness amid a celebratory atmosphere.
