17 national titles and the victory in the Korac Cup speak volumes: Alba Berlin is the powerhouse of German basketball. The Berlin-based basketball club Alba Berlin has a short but eventful history. Between 1997 and 2004, it dominated German basketball with seven consecutive championships and consistently made waves on the international stage. In total, Alba Berlin has won 18 titles. In his book, author Benjamin Moser focuses less on dates and facts and more on the people who won these titles and their stories. He tells of Alba legends like Wendell Alexis and Henrik Rödl, who became immortal in Berlin, and of a manager who built Alba Berlin from nothing into an international brand. It is a Berlin success story, a myth that has taken flight in a united Berlin.
