The Center: Moritz Wagner

After playing soccer for most of his childhood, Moritz Wagner
discovered his ease with mastering the game of basketball. As a
teen, he skyrocketed through the ranks of his home town club Alba
Berlin, before trying the impossible: At age 17, he turned down an
offer to play professionally in Germany and joined the college team
at University of Michigan with the dream of becoming a NBA player.
And he did it. After being drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers in
2018 he currently plays on the Center position for the Washington
Wizards in the nations's capital. On episode 12 of the Wunderbar
Together, Moritz takes us on his unique journey from Berliner to
B-Baller, taking over the position as Center, playing with
superstar LeBron James and being an immigrant in the
NBA. Representing a new generation of outspoken athletes, he
also dives deep into being actively anti-racist in the current
environment.
