Dirk Nowitzki knows a thing or two about basketball and he also knows how great the Olympic team from his home country of Germany is.
Therefore, he thinks that the Germans could go very far with their men’s basketball team in the days ahead.
Speaking with FIBA, per ClutchPoints, Nowitzki said he predicts the Germans will go to the finals against the United States.
But as great as Germany is, he thinks the Americans will ultimately win their coveted gold medal.
“If you ask me to say predictions, I would say US vs Germany in the Final.”

The Germans have been sensational over the last few years, winning a number of huge prizes in the international world of basketball.
Now they are on the biggest stage yet and are looking to show everyone they truly are the best team on the planet.
Before they can make the Finals, they have to face off against France in the semi-finals.
If they can overtake Victor Wembanyama, Rudy Gobert, and their team, the Germans will then battle for the gold against either the Americans or Serbians.
Most people assume that Team USA will be able to take down Nikola Jokic and his group.
Nowitzki knows the talent on Team USA and is close with several of the stars on the squad.
He understands they are the favorites to win it all but he’s not counting his German team out either.
Winning a gold medal would be the latest major accomplishment for this strong group out of Germany.
However, the Americans have repeatedly shown that they are going to play hard and have victory as their one and only goal.
The United States has assembled one of their best teams ever but can the Germans overpower them?
