Former Thunder Guard Claims Germany is The Best Team he Has Played With

The Oklahoma City Thunder has had a revolving door of players during its rebuild. They've seen players play different parts in the rebuild and make different impacts over the years.

One of those players was Dennis Schroder, who spent two seasons with the Thunder. He initially backed up Russell Westbrook, teaming up with him and Paul George for an impressive season.

Schroder has since become sort of a journeyman, playing on a few different teams. Now, he is playing in the FIBA World Cup championship alongside Germany. He also claims it's the best team he's ever played on.

"I think this is the best team I've ever played on, whether it's the NBA or national team," Schroder said, according to BasketNews.

Those two seasons Schroder was with the Thunder were impressive seasons. The season he shared with Westbrook saw the team finish with a 49-33 record, despite an upsetting playoff appearance. George was even an MVP finalist that season, going to show how impressive of a season it was.

The next year, the Thunder was a surprise team. They were supposed to enter a rebuild, but Schroder joined Chris Paul and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and in the deadly three-guard lineup. They won 44 games to their 28 losses in the weird bubble season. Finishing the season in a close seven-game series against the Houston Rockets was an impressive way for that core to go out.

Both of those teams were unique in their own regards and had different value to offer from a role standpoint for Schroder. He's also played alongside Anthony Davis and LeBron James with the Los Angeles Lakers and Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown with the Boston Celtics.

All in all, it's interesting to hear Schroder go on to say his German national team -- which recently took down Team USA to advance to the championship game -- is the best team he's played for all time.
