Im Jahre 1997 geboren ist Marvin Omuvwie Teil einer groĂartigen Basketball-Generation. Der gebĂŒrtige Berliner hat im Laufe seiner Karriere bereits einiges erlebt - sowohl als talentierter Youngster, als auch Profi. Nach diversen Verletzungen ist der Forward motivierter und ambitionierter denn je, wenngleich die Comeback-Touren ihn auch haben nachdenklicher haben werden lassen.NatĂŒrlich muss bei dieser Gelegenheit ĂŒber den gröĂten Eklat der Geschichte des deutschen Dunk Contests gesprochen werden. Aber auch sein verĂ€nderter Blick aufs Spiel kommt zur Sprache, ebenso wie das Journal, in welchem er fĂŒr ihn wichtige Dinge festhĂ€lt.ââââ

Lennart Boner ist ein guter Typ. Einer, mit dem du problemlos einen langen Abend in der Kneipe am Eck verbringen kannst, ohne dass einem jemals die Themen ausgehen. Einer, der reflektiert und mit einem gesunden Maà an Lebenserfahrung, aber auch Dankbarkeit seinen Weg geht. Das vermeintliche Problem: Lennart ist erst mit Ende 20 Profi geworden, wodurch sein Karriere-Zeitfenster naturgemÀà - leider - nicht mehr lange offen bleibt. Und trotzdem, oder gerade deshalb, kommt der Center so unfassbar entspannt und gelassen daher. Dem Ursprung dieses Wesenszuges versuchen wir auf den Grund zu gehen ⊠und klÀren ganz nebenbei, welchen Nagel er ins Ph...
