Biography

Jörg Lütcke was born on December 12, 1975 in Stuttgart and grew up in Lichterfelde, Berlin.[1] Like his older brother Niklas, he soon joined TuS Lichterfelde, a partner of the basketball club Alba Berlin.[2] After participating in the junior-worldwide Nike Hoop Summit in 1995, he joined Alba Berlin's League One.[3] As a part of the German national team, he played in the European championships of 1997 and 1999, as well as the world championship in 2002.[4]
