Gear up, hoops fans! Germany's very own sports commenting legend, Frank "Buschi" Buschmann (60), is primed to dish out his insights on the Basketball European Championship live on free TV. The announcement was made by RTL, who revealed that Buschmann will be the exclusive commentator for all German games in the FIBA EuroBasket 2025[2].
Set to unfold from August 27 to September 14 in Latvia, Finland, Poland, and Cyprus, the tournament kicks off with the German team going toe-to-toe with Montenegro[1]. Buschmann's curtain-raiser commentary will emanate live from Tampere, Finland.
A Basketball Legacy Unveiled
Anticipation runs high as Buschmann welcomes this new challenge with open arms. "The golden era for German hoops, with every EuroBasket game live on RTL – I just couldn't resist! I can't wait for the 2023 World Champions and a tournament to remember!" he declared in the press release[2].
The commentator's basketball lineage is as impressive as it is deep-rooted. Despite his stellar media career launching in 1993, Buschmann's court days weren't far behind, with stints in the second Bundesliga under his belt[3]. Offers to play in the first league came calling, but the lure of the media world led him to trade sneakers for a microphone at just 20 years old. Since then, Buschmann has emerged as a cult figure in German sports broadcasting, bringing his infectious enthusiasm to not just basketball, but also football[3].
A Tournament to Remember
With Germany eyeing the podium, the upcoming EuroBasket could be one for the record books[4]. With NBA superstars Dennis Schröder (31) and Franz Wagner (23) leading the charge, the German team, coming off an EM bronze win in 2022 and an unprecedented WM gold in 2023, is a definite tournament powerhouse[4].
