His best season was in 20-21 when he averaged 8 points and 3 assists. Gustav became a steady back up in Jämtland for 6 seasons, and one in Köping. When his coach in Superettan, Swedish basketball legend Torbjörn Gherke, took the job as Head Coach for Jämtland Basket in the top league, he brought Gustav with him. Gustav has great character, and Solefounder Pontus used to coach him on the U20 Nationals, where he made a name for himself as a great shooter. He's 100% doing the LeBron capping, but I get what he's saying. Fred always tells me how Gustav was great and very coachable back then, and he's not at all surprised that Gustav had a break out year this year. Gustav started to play ball for Täby Basket as a kid, but he's most known from his Alvik days, where he played for my coaching colleague and Swedish basketball legend Fred Drains.

So after the open gym hours, I had to change nets. They shot so many swish bombs, that they tore the nets on both baskets, every fucking day. Gustav and Daniel was matched up on opposite teams and both are really good shooters. And they came with National Team starter Denzel Andersson, and it was some really good runs that summer. For some time I actually thought he was the younger brother because Daniel was having a bigger role, and I thought he was more established from experience. I'd seen him play a couple of times, but mostly I knew him as Daniels brother. In Stockholm more or less all gyms are closed during the summer, but our gym is a regular for many players to come and play pick-ups.

It doesn't really make sense, but it's simmular to this years MVP in SBL Herr.įirst time I met Gustav wasn't that many years ago, but during the off season in 2019 him and his brother Daniel used to come the gym where I'm coaching my sons team. When Steve Nash won back-to-back MVP in 05 and 06, many people claim that he wasn't the best player, he was just in a really good system that suited his game.
