Nets PG makes pro debut in another sport

Dennis Schröder is a man of many talents. From the German National basketball team to the Brooklyn Nets and now the German Sixth division of FIBA.

Schröder clearly has the fitness level and footwork required to play at a competitive international level of soccer.

Former Nets coach and two-time MVP, Steve Nash, tried his luck on the pitch, but not in this kind of professional sense. 

It goes to show that the cardiovascular training and endurance that basketball and soccer players show his second to none. 

As of right now, Schröder is slated as the Nets starting point guard with what is anticipated to be a busy off season ahead. 

It's unclear whether the possibility of either Donovan Mitchell or Trae Young stepping into that starting role this summer via trade. 

Schröder will have a very busy off-season between this venture into soccer as well as the 2024 Olympics in Paris with the German squad.
