Germany just won Eurobasket with Dennis winning MVP, his 2nd time doing this in a major international tourney.

What do yall think? MVP and Gold medal at two major tournaments, is that + a long NBA career enough?
EuroBasket 2025 wrap: Is Dennis Schröder a Hall of Famer? Can anyone beat Team USA in the 2028 Olympics?
The 2027 World Cup and 2028 Olympics will only make international hoops all the more interesting in the coming years.
Is Dennis Schröder a Hall of Famer?
OK, settle down. This isn't as crazy an idea as it sounds, at least for a few reasons. The primary one being that the Hall isn't NBA exclusive. It's a worldwide Basketball Hall of Fame, and with Schröder having now won MVP and gold medals at both the World Cup and EuroBasket, it's getting difficult to argue against him.
The 32-year-old also does have NBA success to help his case, as he's approaching 12,000 career points and 900 games. Those two parameters would never get him in the door alone, but combined with his international success, he's working on making a serious argument for himself
The very idea that Schröder could be in line for a Hall of Fame spot further underlines how the international game has its own set of legs to stand on, and that's frankly fair, all things considered. It's a solid reminder the NBA isn't the be-all, end-all of global basketball, and that success comes in many different shapes and sizes.
Will Schröder make the Hall? It's tough to say. The 32-year-old guard is presumably going to play another three to four years, and if Germany doesn't win another championship during his tenure, perhaps the memory of him will simply wither away within the context of the Hall of Fame.
Let's hope not, because what he's managed to achieve these past two years has been extremely noteworthy.
