After a detailed conversation between men’s national coach Gordon Herbert and national player Dennis Schroder, both have once again attached importance to making the following statements at the end of the matter.
Dennis Schröder:
>I would like to apologize to Maxi Kleber and his family for my statements and the inconvenience they caused. It was never my intention to put anyone in an awkward situation or upset on the team. My intention was just to stand up for my team and make it clear that I would do anything for my team. All of this was never something personal against Maxi Kleber from my side. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a direct type and always assume that the person I am talking to understands what I mean by what I say, but I have once again been shown that this is not always the case. I still appreciate and respect him and his career and hope he accepts my apologies. I will not answer any further questions in this regard and I am looking forward to the team and the World Cup.
Gordon Herbert:
>The situation that arose is unfortunate, but we were able to discuss, reflect and resolve it internally. Dennis showed strength with his apology. Dennis takes great care of his teammates. He is very proud and honored to represent his country.

As a German fan, I would like to apologize for Dennis being naturally an agent of chaos.
i mean in a team with ky and luka and hardy do u really want kleber dribbling lol, rude regardless
Das tuff!
hes the pat bev of german basketball. german basketball took up for him too? like they have a chance of winning anything anyway
Context??
>I hope he accepts my apologies
Why do famous people never apologize directly to the person they wronged instead of making a public apology.
Man the offseason is tough (tuff?) when shit like this is a story
As a German, Dennis keeps it real, but what happens when keeping it real goes wrong?
where’s the draymond copy pasta version
I’d like to take a second and apologize for Dennis Schroeder’s hair line…
I wonder if Schröder had to make a similar apology to his missus when he fumbled the bag lol.
kleber is soft. dennis didn’t say anything flagrant.
All this situation is really weird.
Sure, Dennis was stupid to call out Maxi when they have an important tournament coming up.
But Maxi just straight out quits from his NT after one of the dudes from the team made a silly comment questioning him..? Really?
He said what everybody thought
I get why IT smacked him upside the head. Theres always been something annoying with Schröder.
Do…do we actually need to know any of this?
Still waiting for Chot’s apology to Tab Baldwin.
I hope “he accepts my apologies”. Can’t this guy just call Maxi and say it directly?
