Kaman to play for Team Germany in Olympics

By defaultuser || July 02, 2008

Chris Kaman, a former CMU center from 2001-2003, will play alongside Dirk Nowitzki as a member of the German National Basketball Team.

Kaman, the starting center for the Los Angeles Clippers, will start playing in an Olympic qualifying tournament from July 14-20 in Athens.

The Wyoming native’s great-grandparents were German.

The German team has not qualified for the Olympics since 1992. The 7-foot center averaged 15.7 points and 12.7 rebounds last season in Los Angeles.
