Finally, there are certificates in the World Champion League!
SPORT BILD has closely followed the 2023/24 season in the Easycredit Basketball Bundesliga, observing, researching and analyzing on match days and between games. Now the basketball reporters are awarding the BBL final certificate.
Final certificate BBL, part 11: MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg
In terms of results alone, the season was just about satisfactory for the MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg. The Swabians have established themselves in the top group of the BBL in recent years, but they know that a lot has to come together if they want to achieve more than the play-off quarter-finals.
This minimum goal was achieved, but performance up to that point had been absurdly inconsistent. What was even more serious for the giants was the loss of their sporting identity.
“We have built a brand in terms of our style of play, and we want to consolidate it again,” says President Alexander Reil. “It’s no secret that we’ve strayed a little from that path recently.”

In recent years, Ludwigsburg had the reputation of being the most unpleasant team in the league – and was quite proud of it. Nobody liked playing against the defensively and physically superior giants.
In two seasons under Josh King, the results were more or less OK, but the fluctuations were huge. Big wins like in the main round against Alba Berlin or in the play-offs against Bayern were always possible, but also numerous defeats against teams that are behind “Lubu” in the table (Rostock, MBC, Hamburg, Bamberg …).
Consequence: Head coach King had to leave and moved to Darüssafaka Istanbul. Instead, the man who developed the Ludwigsburg “Nobody likes us and that’s a good thing” mentality is coming back: John Patrick.

He will be working with a much changed squad. The three top scorers, Jayvon Graves, Silas Melson and Desure Buie, are gone. All three point guards averaged double-digit points and on good days they secured victories with 100 or more points. On bad days, however, they were mostly responsible for some of the heavy defeats.
This lucky dip issue bothered not only boss Reil in Ludwigsburg, but also the loyal fans. The 2023/24 season was at best sufficient for the MHP Riesen, despite the play-off quarter-finals.
