- How good was Detlef Schrempf? The first German before Dirk Nowitzki and the first European born player to play in the NBA. Detlef Schrempf the Grand Teuton and played in the NBA for 4 teams. Dallas Mavericks, Indiana Pacers, Seattle Supersonics and Portland Trailblazers.
Detlef made his mark in the NBA as an underrated international basketball star, playing in 3 different decades, the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. His well-rounded abilities on the court made him a legend in his own right to overseas players and also Germany. He averaged a career 14 points 6 rebounds and 3.5 assists.
Had he stayed in Europe and played basketball there instead of the NBA I could see him dominating anywhere he played and possibly securing a spot in the hall of fame indefinitely. Keep in mind the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame is not just for NBA talent alone, there are international players who have never played in the NBA and have received this honor, which has me questioning why Toni Kukoc is not yet in the Hall Of Fame but regardless it is possible we may see Detlef in the Hall of Fame one day in the future. Till next time.....

He also frequented the Snake Hole Lounge
Det the Threat, even in Germany ignored by the mainstream as soccer and tennis were prevalent and caught more audience.
Changed with the 1992 Dream Team and NBA hype and his 1996 finals appearance.
Obviously Dirk Nowitzki had a stellar all time HOF careers that might never be matched by another German Basketball player, but Detlef Schrempf was an amazing role player and had very nice NBA career.
I like that Det the Threat....lol..
@970 Jokic Indeed, Uwe Blab is a well known german player but had not that careers that Schrempf and especially Dirk had. But Uwe Blab was on of the first successful "overseas" Basketball players for us that made it into the states.
As a lifelong fan of the supersonics, I always have thought of Detlef as being the ultimate "Sixth Man", even though he was a starter for most of his career. His popularity suffered from his being on a Seattle team that had a few other more noticeable near-superstar type players. But he was consistently good, and sometimes great. He was a poor-man's Larry Bird, at times, and remains one of my favorite forwards.
As more and more european players enter the NBA, there definetly could be another german Legend in the future. In 22/23 season there were 6 german players in the NBA.
I see him at the gym a few times a week. You would not believe he's 58! Thanks for the memories Detlef!
Now Detlef is a True Underrated Player
Super Sonics became real contenders once they got Detlef Schrempf
They were so dope once they got Kendall Gill too
Even though it was Hersey they made The Finals with I still liked the Gill version with Perkins, Detlef, Payton & Kemp
That was a Super Dope Sonics Team
They both were dope with Vincent Askew and Nate Mac off the bench too. Man i loved the sonics lol 😆
Askew and Nate were great defenders.
if you single out his best years (89-99) - that is when he finally got the chance to play - he averaged 17 / 7.4 / 5.5, shooting 50% fg, 39% 3pt and 81% ft and! he always let the game came to him not forcing it. he was a team player, humble, not selfish...that's why he was not media favorite. why would you promote player who lays the ball in instead dunking it? :P it's all about flashy plays and stuff...but not with Detlef. that's the beauty of it
those stats are awesome arent they...hof? what you think?
@@90sBasketballBios awesome stats for a player who was 6th man or nr.2/nr.3 on team. i think he is among top 5 european player ever (individually). probably won't get to hof cause of low full career stats (got a chance too late) and nobody probably considers him as european (didn't play in europe and went to college in usa) but he is the first european who made an impact in nba. i'd love to see him in hof :)
I was thinking that too cause he played ball in America...
Detlef is the true definition of underrated
The 96 Seattle team was fun to watch, The west coast was very deep those days San Antonio, Utah, Rockets, Lakers, Kings and the East had the Bulls runner ups Knicks, Miami, Indiana. 90's Basketball was tough and most exciting sport to watch. This era is painful to watch if not for Curry and Klay tandems
Not the Kings , not the 90s. They were awful . Portland and Pheonix were in the mix. The Kings traded for Webber in 98-99 ,got Divac, - Stojakovic and Ja. Will emerged and by 2000 they were finally there . The West had 6 or 7 super consistent flat out great teams . That was the best era 10s and 10s of star players
There is nothing wrong with the players in this era. It is the OFFICIALS and higher power. Players know they can get away with soft stuff because of soft officiating habits. Take that away and games will be as “tough and competitive” as they used to be. I can’t stress that enough😂
He was an underrated passer if you ask; I always thought he was a big plus on the floor more for his making everyone on the court better and his decisions were surgeon smart. Today the game is styled more to passing passing and more passing. Detlef would kill it in today’s NBA.
Very Underrated!!!!🏀🏀🏀🏀
👍
any foreigner players make to the NBA as starter already a legend in his country..
Bruhhhh he gotta be in the hall of fame.
In todays nba where they only shoot 3s he would be a monster. Still underated af
These kids wouldn't know that
Detlef was awesome. I remember him with Indiana first where he made allstar game over Reggie Miller. Then in Seattle they had a big 3 with Detlef, Payton, and Kemp. In my opinion top 10 European player ever. Maybe top 5.
He was way better than I remembered him to be. I didn't know he was 6'10, he had an impressive career... hope you enjoyed the vid...🙂
@@90sBasketballBios i liked that you posted players like Detlef and Rik Smits. Instead of the normal big names that been done in other channels. Kendall Gill another good player that was part of that Sonics team.
Kendall Gill, Nice...thanks for the suggestion...
@@GABRIELA-ACEVEDO. great suggestion with Kendall Gill. I’ll add another Sonics legend to the requests with Sam “Big Smooth” Perkins
👁 Likey 945th Sub 👍 ✌️ 🙏
he played for multiple teams and the 99 and 00 blazers didn't equal the 88 mavs and 96 sonics
Overediting makes videos like this a pain to watch man
Thanks Man!👍
Gotchu💯
Man I agree! The first time I have ever given a thumbs down.
Second German player to cook it. Ernst Kiki Vandewege was first.
Det was a problem
My favourite Supersonic...or one of the many
This guy is a absolute monster in 2k lol. But as kind of a tall person i look at him as a idol and funny no not shaq detlef haha he was like a chris mullen but even more under rated good video I would love to see a chris mullen bio (wink wink)
Detlef was great
I came here after the pic circulating today of Detlef with GP Senior at the Chase Center in SF
He's larry bird's cousin from the other side of their family tree
He was kinda like a second-rate--but still very good--Larry Bird, at times. He was one of those players who could, on occasion, catch fire, and take over a game for a few minutes.
This is how i learn to shoot.
A sure HoF'r
He fitted very good to Seattle and one. Of the reasons I fell for the sonics da reign man! Greetz from Germany
Thanks for watching...I miss the 90s
@@90sBasketballBios same here just started to up my collection a bit of good old starter 90s jerseys and jackets, and always tryin to get me an authentic pair of Jordan's.... Please keep up the content, I'm happy about every 90s NBA video etc. Got my Abo bro! Cheers
He played college ball In states so yes he was an international player but he came up in USA system not European team
He actually graduated from Centralia High, in Washing state.
How good was he? In-fucking-credible!
He was an awesome player. Obviously Dirk is the greatest German and European player of all time, but you cannot mention the history of international players coming into the NBA and success without mentioning Detlef (along with Olajuwon, Kukoc, Petrovic, Marciulonis, Sabonis) when talking about the important international players in the 90s. Sixth Man of the Year twice, three time All-Star, long range shooter, he's had a solid career with a borderline HOF chance.
A Great player that most forget...
Drazen Petrovic was a monster
IMO...there should be a special HOF category, for the outstanding "sixth man"types of NBA players...and Detlef would be the first one in there!
Love Deadlift Shrimp. Very underrated player👍🏾
It's Detlef Stremph
@@monolithgeometry3221 on da stremph
1983 Washington Huskie basketball team. Detlef led the team in scoring, followed by Christian Welp. Two starters from Germany. They made it to the sweet 16 that year.
Basketball is the kind of game where when you're watching you'll notice good players stand out.
That's how I got here actually. I saw some tape on Schrempf and I said "Who is this guy?" whenever I ask that question watching a basketball player I know I'm dealing with someone great. I was a young boy in the ladder half of his career. But seeing him now I realize he was a good one.
So are we all just going to act like we didnt see the Illuminati all seeing eye at the 1:59 Mark?
Not sure what you saw, but i didnt see anything
I'm trying to find the quote that one of the players, coaches or announcers made during that series with the Bulls. Somebody said something along the lines of "Detlef might be more well rounded than Scottie Pippen". Of course this was 26 years ago, so I might be butchering it.
I literally never knew he was a real person, I herd a joke on sports center one time about "it's deadlift shrimp, never seen anything like it" and googled it trying to find the segment 😂
Wait he was actually real?? I thought he was just a character that parks and rec made up😂😂
2% more than .500, 3% more than .380,,,,,he is very good at shooting !
youtube subtitles say ‚deadlift shrimp‘! So it’s official.
He was pretty much looking like Mark Harmon at the time he got drafted.
There's also a great song named after him.
Franz Wagner is similiar to him.
I'd take Sean Elliot over Detlef Schrempf
He reminds of Pau Gasol.
Ilovethisgame
Indeed...
DETLEF 💯💯💯😎👆🏾 SONICS
Great editing. Fun video.
Deadlift Shrimp?
6’10 no shit!
Was a fan of Detlef during his time. Great shooter for a 6'10" player.
He needs more love. I always remember him..I had card when was little, like way. But I musta been 7-8, and had his card. Idk what happendx, but he had a metal prong around his finger(maybe was broken) and it totally looked like he had a hook. Wont ever forget that
❤
As a German.? He is the best German after nowinski.
Germany’s Olympic jerseys… woof!
Deadlift Shrimp
Turn my swag on... Tom P&R...
Detlef "Peel and Eat" Schrempfs...
Although the video was informative. I could not bear to finish watching it. With all that extra edit bull***t you put into it. This will be the first time I put a thumbs down.
No one asked tho
not hall of famer, but underrated
