"I will never receive the same love"- Dennis Schroder reveals why he'll never receive the same love as Dirk Nowitzki in Germany

Dennis Schroder has reportedly faced racism his whole life (Image via Instagram / @ds17_fg) Dennis Schroder recently discussed why German fans will always adore Dirk Nowitzki more than him. He went on to state that he feels he will never get the same respect in his country because he happens to be dark-skinned. This wasn't the first time when the NBA player has talked about facing racism. Last year, before the Paris Olympics, he alleged that he had reportedly faced racism his whole life. Similarly, during a December 2024 interview, he talked about his mental toughness to face racism. Dennis Schroder talks about dealing with racism almost his whole life As one of the greatest German basketball players of all time, Dennis Schroder already made history. However, he believes that he will never get the same kind of national adoration from his nation because of his skin color as some of Germany's other all-time greats, such as Dirk Nowitzki . During a recent interview, he said: 'When I was 14, I sat in front of the TV watching Dirk Nowitzki carry the flag at the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing. Back then I thought: how cool, there's no greater honor. It's a great honor, but for me it will never be the same as for Dirk. I will never receive the same love in this country, because I am dark-skinned.' Dennis Schroder has already talked about his lifelong battle with racism. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They Were So Beautiful Before; Now Look At Them; Number 10 Will Shock You Reportingly Undo The basketball team captain further broke his silence on how he has encountered racism in his career, days before the Paris Olympics of 2024. Before the event, he said to German outlet Spiegel Sport: "I am attacked because I am black, my wife Ellen because she is with a black man. I don't just see myself in the role of flag bearer because I am black and can therefore make a statement against racism..' Dennis Schroder has previously explained how facing racism helped build his 'mental toughness' His challenging upbringing as a Black guy in Germany has always been a topic of conversation. From overcoming bigotry as a young child to being selected as the flagbearer to represent the same nation where he encountered it, Dennis Schroder's experiences shaped him into the man he is today. Dennis Schroder in action (Image via Instagram / @ds17_fg) Talking about it, before the Paris Olympic 2024, he said: "My mother is from Gambia and came to Germany as an immigrant. And with all the xenophobia and openly racist slogans on the Internet and on the streets, it is a strong sign that someone like me is allowed to carry the German flag.' Additionally, in December 2024, during an interview, he said: 'To be in this league for 12 years, you got to find a way to [have] mental toughness.. You got to come out with effort. You got to play on the defensive end… Growing up in Germany was tough, but it helped me.. I learned a lot..' Dennis Schroder is an amazing player whose negative and positive experiences have shaped his life.

In Numbers: India's Asia Cup squad – IPL 2025 form under the spotlight

File Pic: Suryakumar Yadav and Varun Chakaravarthy The announcement of India's 15-member squad for the 2025 Asia Cup has sparked plenty of debate, with the elevation of Test skipper Shubman Gill as T20I vice-captain and the return of spearhead Jasprit Bumrah grabbing headlines. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! While big names like Shreyas Iyer missed out despite stellar domestic and IPL showings, the selectors appear to have leaned heavily on recent performances in the shortest format — particularly the IPL 2025 season, the last competitive T20 cricket most of these players featured in. Poll Who do you think will be the standout player for India in the 2025 Asia Cup? Suryakumar Yadav Shubman Gill Jasprit Bumrah Hardik Pandya Suryakumar Yadav and Gill lead the batting charge Captain Suryakumar Yadav enters the Asia Cup in red-hot form. He was sensational in IPL 2025, powering Mumbai Indians to Qualifier 2 with 717 runs in 16 matches at a strike rate of 167.91. His consistency, flair, and ability to dominate attacks ensured he finished second on the run charts behind only Sai Sudharsan (759). Vice-captain Gill, who shouldered leadership duties for Gujarat Titans, enjoyed a prolific season as well. The right-hander amassed 650 runs with six fifties, striking at 155.87. Gill's run-making under pressure and recent form in England Tests has made him a natural deputy to Suryakumar in this squad. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 3BHK Transformation Possible for ₹4.5 Lakh? HomeLane Get Quote Undo India Asia Cup squad: Why Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill are biggest talking points Abhishek Sharma, the big-hitting opener, has added further firepower to the lineup with 439 runs at a staggering strike rate of 193.39, including a whirlwind 141. In contrast, Tilak Varma had a modest season, managing 343 runs at 138.30 strike rate, while finishers Shivam Dube and Rinku Singh struggled to replicate their earlier form, scoring 357 and 206 runs respectively. All-rounders and spinners offer balance All-rounder Hardik Pandya had a steady IPL season, contributing with both bat and ball. He scored 224 runs at 163.50 while also picking up 14 wickets, underlining his importance as a finisher and sixth-bowling option. Axar Patel chipped in with useful runs (263 at 157.48), though his five wickets suggested a relatively quiet season with the ball. Among spinners, Kuldeep Yadav (15 wickets at 7.07 economy) and Varun Chakaravarthy (17 wickets at 7.66 economy) were effective in containing batters. Bumrah's return strengthens bowling The biggest boost for India is the return of Jasprit Bumrah, who looked in fine rhythm during IPL 2025. The ace pacer claimed 18 wickets in 12 matches at an economy of just 6.67, showcasing his trademark yorkers and control at the death. Arshdeep Singh was also among the wickets, finishing with 21 scalps, though his higher economy (8.88) could be an area of concern. The third pacer Harshit Rana's high economy (10.18) offset his 15 wickets in the season. Strong bench strength in reserves India's reserves underline the depth at their disposal. Prasidh Krishna bagged the Purple Cap with 25 wickets, while Yashasvi Jaiswal hammered 559 runs at a brisk 159.71. Riyan Parag (393 runs) and Dhruv Jurel (333 runs) further strengthened their cases for future selections. Selection debates linger Despite this depth, the omission of Shreyas Iyer (604 runs at 175.07 strike rate) — an IPL finalist and proven leader — continues to divide opinion. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar pointed to the 'abundance of T20 talent,' a reminder that even consistent performers are not guaranteed a place in India's crowded T20 landscape. As Team India gears up for the Asia Cup starting September 9, the players' IPL 2025 performances suggest a squad brimming with form and firepower. The bigger test will be whether they can carry this momentum onto the international stage — especially against arch-rivals Pakistan and in UAE conditions that often favour spin and tactical nous. Team India squad for Asia Cup 2025 Surya Kumar Yadav (C), Shubman Gill (VC), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Jitesh Sharma (WK), Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Sanju Samson (WK), Harshit Rana, Rinku Singh Reserve players: Prasidh Krishna, Washington Sundar, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Watch: Brock Lesnar's daughter Mya shares adorable bikini video flaunting her confidence

Mya Lesnar (Image Source: Getty) The 23-year-old was in the news again, but not about her prowess in the shot put at Colorado State University. The daughter of WWE and UFC superstar Brock Lesnar was back in the news for boldly living her life exactly as she is, and we are here for it. The post was a scene straight out of Instagram with her standing in a red bikini with a caption proclaiming the following: '200+ lbs and every ounce is powerful, confident, and beautiful. Ladies, the bikini was made for your body, so rock it!!' The post arrives just after a challenging 2025 season that tested her both physically and mentally, marking a deliberate statement of self-love and resilience. Mya Lesnar doubles down on body positivity and self-love Mya shows some major love for herself and completely obliterates the arbitrary notion of what a desk, and therefore, a bikini body should be, writing: '200+ lbs and every ounce is powerful, confident and beautiful.' The caption's call to "rock it," is also an invitation to all women to wear confidence, regardless of shape and size. Following a grueling year of competition where she missed the World Championships team, the post is a pointed reminder of her identity beyond athletics. Also Read: Brock Lesnar's net worth in 2025, current WWE salary, contract status, upcoming matches, and more From athletic setbacks to mental empowerment The audacious statement comes after Mya placed ninth in the shot put at the USATF Outdoor Championships, hitting 18.51 m, which landed her at a high level of success but not quite a level suitable for the world stage in 2025. Win or lose, she characterized the season as a step in her own development. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Susan Boyle Is Now so Thin and Looks Beautiful!

After becoming an indoor (2024) and outdoor (2025) NCAA national shot-put champion and a Mountain West Conference champion (2024), she kept making history. However, this new post emphasizes that big victories aren't just in numbers or medals but also in self-acceptance and being proud of your body.
