Nets’ Dennis Schroder to make history as Germany’s Olympic flag bearer
NY Post
Dennis Schroder led Germany to a world title.
Now the Nets guard will lead his homeland in another way, as their first black Olympic flag bearer.
Schroder has said for months that it would be a huge honor to be the first black to carry the flag for Germany, a country with an infamous racial history.
The Brooklyn point guard will get that honor at Friday’s opening ceremonies in Paris.
“We made it through. To all the people who voted for me, thank you very much,” Schroder said on Instagram, followed by a tankful emoji.
“You’re the best ever. Being able to share this feeling with you is unbelievable. The first dark-skinned carrier for Germany along with German flag”
