Jan-Hendrik Jagla (born June 25, 1981) is a German professional basketball player who currently plays for FC Bayern Munich of the Basketball Bundesliga. Though he stands 7 feet tall, Jagla has the game of a 2-guard, and his game somewhat resembles that of Dirk Nowitzki.[1] Jagla was also known to be a point forward in his college days. He is married to Ivana, a daughter of Svetislav Pešić.[2]
Amateur career
He spent three seasons (2001/02-2003/04) at the Pennsylvania State University in University Park, Pennsylvania, before turning pro. He finished his Penn State career with 813 points, 504 rebounds and ranks third in school history with 110 blocked shots. Jagla holds the Penn State record for consecutive missed three point shots, 33. He played one year of high school basketball as an exchange student at Highland High School in Granger Township of Medina, Ohio, where he led the Hornets to their first Suburban League Championship in 1998.
Always a fan favorite, Jagla was one of the most visible Penn State athletes during his time in State College, and was regularly seen at Mad Mex restaurant. He was always quick to autograph a napkin or an occasional female breast. The Student Book Store in State College went so far as to create "measure-up" posters featuring Jagla, however, the posters quickly sold out, leaving many of Jan's fans disappointed.
Professional career
He played for Türk Telekom B.K. of the Turkish Basketball League during the 2006–07 season. He played for Joventut Badalona in Spain. Polish champion Asseco Prokom Gdynia signed him on 22 September 2009. In December, 2010 he returned to Türk Telekom B.K. until the end of the 2010-11 season.[3] In July 2011 he returned to Germany by signing with FC Bayern Munich a two-year contract.[4] In August 2013, he returned after 12 years to his former club Alba Berlin.[5] In August 2014, he signed a one-year deal with Bayern Munich.[6]
German national team
Jagla participated in the 2008 Olympics with the German national team.[7]
