Hamburg (dpa / lno) - Max DiLeo is used to duels with his older brother Anthony in the basketball league.

But they are by no means everyday: "Games against him are still something special," says the 27-year-old guard of the Hamburg Towers before the away game on Thursday (7:00 p.m. / MagentaSport) at Telekom Baskets Bonn.

«I would like to see it like any other game, but for me it is an extra motivation.

It's another small competition of our own that the two of us lead. "

In the private competition with his 30-year-old brother, the newcomer from Hamburg is 2-1 ahead after playing against Bonn with his ex-club Rasta Vechta.

It is difficult for the parents to follow the family duels, added Max DiLeo: “Because they naturally want to see us both win.

But I can't take that into account on Thursday. "

The fact that the guard is playing for the Towers this season has something to do with the move from head coach Pedro Calles from Vechta to the Hanseatic League.

«I really enjoy working with him.

He gave me the chance to play in the BBL, »said DiLeo.

"Over the years we have built a lot of trust in one another."
