q: Herr Giffey, sind Sie traurig, dass Ihre College-Zeit nun vorbei ist?
"Mr Giffey," the Germans are so freaking proper. The frau is an MD/PhD so she is addressed as Dr Dr when she goes there.
Any who, the question is whether he is sad that his college career has ended. Giffey says that he knew it was coming, but he put that behind him. Then he ends it with this:

a: Jetzt kann ich sagen, es hätte kein besseres Ende geben können.

Now I can say, that there could not have been a better ending.

Genau richtig.

I enjoyed this from the side of the article:

Basketball Glossary

REUTERS
For a basketball team has five players. On the one playing the point guard(construction). The two, the shooting guard held, whose primary task is to score points. The Three is the small forward, an agile wing force with a good throw. Players that can be used on the two or three are called "Swingmen". Four is the power forward, a strong player who is predestined by its size and for rebounds. On the five plays of the Centre,acting mostly in basket nearby. The positions one and two form the backcourt, three to five are the frontcourt.

Giffey should throw his hat in the ring for a summer league team. He wont miss shots and can defend nba talent.

Well actually the whole joke behind the name is we just took the Brazilian word and added on our English marker of plurality. So, just add on whatever the German morphological indicator of plurality is to "testiculo." German is actually already fairly well-known for just slapping on morphemes to words.

Giffey should take NBA workouts assuming he doesn't get drafted and I don't think he will with the shortened draft. He has a chance for a contract if his skills translate in workouts. He can always play in Germany.

Hopefully he'll get an invite to the Portsmouth pre-draft tournament. He should, and I think he will. That used to be held the same week as the Championship, so no one in the Final Four ever came. Now it's the week after the Championship. Good chance to show something to the scouts.
