JJ Mandaquit raves about future Washington basketball teamate Hannes Steinbach
JJ Mandaquit on his new Washington teammate Hannes Steinbach:"He's a special, special player. Just his feel for the game. He's smart, he knows what to do, and he just makes winning plays. I just got to talk to him briefly after the game, and I'm excited to get to Seattle with… Washington Huskies point guard JJ Mandaquit will return to campus with another gold medal after he helped lead Team USA to victory at the FIBA U19 World Cup in Lausanne, Switzerland. The former four-star recruit out of Utah Prep High School averaged 6.1 points, 5,4 assists, and 2 rebounds across 16.9 minutes per game as the United States went 7-0 in the tournament and cruised to a 109-76 victory over Team Germany in the gold medal game. As the highest-rated incoming high schooler in Danny Sprinkle's 2025 class, the 6-foot-1 guard is expected to make a big impact on the Huskies' rotation this season. However, as he faced off with another Washington signee in the gold medal game, German forward Hannes Steinbach, even in the heat of battle, Mandaquit couldn't help but come away impressed with his future teammate. 'He's a special, special player. Just his feel for the game. He's smart, he knows what to do, and just makes winning plays,' Mandaquit said in an interview with Cesare Milanti of Eurohoops. "I just got to talk to him briefly after the game, and I'm excited to get to Seattle with him. We'll be together in a couple of days, so I'm excited." Steinbach was one of the biggest stars of the tournament, as he made his way onto the All-Star Five after averaging 17.4 points and 13 rebounds per game, leading Team Germany as it secured the silver medal. Mandaquit, who has played against high-end competition from all over the world with Team USA, added that bringing top players like Steinbach into college basketball will continue to improve the sport. 'It's great," he said. "Why not try to face the best players in the world at the college level? I think it's good for American basketball to have these players come over and give us a challenge. They'll make the league a lot more competitive for sure.'

Ex-Harimau Malaya star Krasniqi's wonder goal goes viral
KUALA LUMPUR: Former Harimau Malaya midfielder Liridon Krasniqi has unexpectedly resurfaced on the international radar after a video of his goal for "Team Germany" in the Baller League final went viral, catching the attention of Sky Sports Football. The 33-year-old, who last played professionally in the M-League for Terengganu in late 2023, stunned viewers with a thunderous first-time volley during the Baller League's grand final in London, England, on Thursday. A 31-second clip of the strike, along with Krasniqi's trademark celebration, was quickly picked up and shared by Sky Sports Football, thrusting the former Malaysia international back into the global spotlight. Donning the jersey of "Team Germany", Krasniqi opened the scoring in the seventh minute of the clash, which ended in a 10-1 demolition of Team UK. According to Baller League's official Instagram post, Krasniqi also netted a second goal in the eighth minute, giving him a brace in the final. The Baller League is an influencer-driven, indoor football spectacle featuring a mix of ex-pros, content creators and up-and-coming talents. Though not a traditional competition, its slick production and viral moments have earned it a loyal online following. A post on Baller League's official Instagram account — captioned "Made in Germany" — shows Team Germany celebrating with a tribute jersey to teammate "Prescott", with Krasniqi among those front and centre. The photo has since garnered over 25,000 likes, with Krasniqi himself among those who reacted to it. The former Kedah, Melaka, JDT and Terengganu midfielder became a Malaysian citizen in 2020 and earned 10 caps for the national team. Known for his fiery playing style and emotional bond with fans, Krasniqi developed a cult following during his time in the M-League. After fading from the national setup and local scene, his name had all but disappeared from football discussions, until now. With no official comeback announced, this viral moment may be a one-off flash of brilliance. Still, it has reignited nostalgia among Malaysian fans and raised eyebrows over how one of Malaysia's first naturalised players ended up scoring goals for "Team Germany" in Berlin.
