A few days before EuroBasket 2022, FIBA organized various polls and questioned the media accredited for the competition who were able to express their predictions: who will be champion? Who will be MVP? Who will get a medal? Or who will take the most rebounds? A little game to which journalists from all over the world but mainly those from the Old Continent have lent themselves. And this is what it gives:
Who will be European champion for this 2022 edition? COCK-A-DOODLE DOO !
- France // Slovenia : 30,4%
- Greece: 15.2%
- Serbia: 12.7%
- Lithuania // Spain: 3.8%
Notable fact: Spain are not among the favorites for the first time in almost 20 years. What ? A connection with the retirement of the Gasol brothers? Clearly.
Who will be on the podium?
- Slovenia: 74.7%
- France : 62%
- Serbia: 55.7%
- Greece: 48.1%
- Spain: 26.6%
- Lithuania: 12.7%
- Germany: 6.3%
- Turkey: 5.1%
This time around Slovenia are favorites to secure a medal and will have to live with status. does that scare them? We are told no.
Who will be the MVP?
- Luka Doncic : 41,8%
- Giannis Antetokounmpo : 22.8%

Who will be the best on the rebound?

Gobzilla is the favorite, but the competition is very, very serious.
Who will be the best passer?

- Niccolo Mannion : 5,1%
- Yam Madar //Theo Maledon : 3,8%
- Nikola Jovic // Karlo Matkovic // Rati Andronikashvili : 2,5%
Category prohibited for players born before 2000, nice to see that the guys bet on an absent player (Jovic)
Who would you choose to take the winning shot?
- Luka : 45,6%
- Jokic : 12,7%
- Goran Dragic : 8,9%
- Vasilije Micic: 7.6%
- Average : 5.1%

Alright, he sucks.
What should be remembered is that many journalists see Luka and Slovenia taking everything. France is also well placed. But these are only polls, and the reality on the ground can be very different. These figures are in any case interesting and give an idea of what might happen, but we can’t wait for it to start so… see you on Thursday!
