Unforgettable and already iconic images: While his players celebrated euphorically on the basketball court, national coach Gordon Herbert shunned the limelight. Instead, the architect of who masterminded the team’s success sat all alone on the carpeted floor in the catacombs and wiped tears from his eyes. The Canadian has coached the German men’s national basketball team since 2021, with whom he also won bronze on the home court at last year’s European Championships. Even more than winning the World Cup gold medal, Gordon Herbert says that invaluable experiences for him were being with the players and the people in the group and experiencing how everyone cared for and looked after each other: “With the right people and the right mindset, anything is possible. There are no limits for a team united by ONE mindset.”
