Author of a sensational performance once morest Germany yesterday, Luka Doncic responded perfectly to the monstrous performance of Giannis Antetokounmpo once morest Ukraine, while Nikola Jokic also performed some crazy things last night once morest Israel. These three are clearly the biggest stars in the competition and the Slovenian wonderkid admits he’s keeping tabs on both MVPs.
41 pawns and 9 rebounds in 27 minutes for the Greek Freak. 36 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists for Luka Magic. 29-11-5 for the Joker in 30 minutes. Without a doubt, the EuroBasket 2022 superstars are out. Despite the series of international competitions (Tokyo Olympics in 2021, Euro in 2022, World Cup in 2023, Paris Olympics in 2024) and the frantic pace of the NBA season, the big names in European basketball have chosen to respond present in September, bringing us a magnificent platter as an aperitif before the start of the next campaign across the Atlantic. This EuroBasket 2022 is an opportunity for Doncic, Giannis and Jokic to send messages to each other through their crazy performances and to respond each time one of them pushes the limits. They all represent the face of their selection, they all have the firm intention of taking their nation as far as possible, they all have great responsibilities. A perfect mix that explains the madness that we see on this first round of the Euro, and something tells us that this is only the beginning.
“Which teams do I watch when I’m not playing? I watch a lot because we have a lot of free time, but I mostly watch Serbia and Greece. Why ? You know why. »

La greatness inspire la greatness. Giannis just planted 41 points? Ok, wait and see what I’ll do to Germany. This is undoubtedly what went through Luka Doncic’s head yesterday, even if obviously the priority is elsewhere for the Slovenian maestro who thinks above all of guiding his team to the top of the group of death. Whether for Doncic, Giannis or Jokic, the goal is clearly not to engage in a duel from a distance to obtain the unofficial title of best player at the start of the Euro. The goal is to increase in power with his selection to try to get the ultimate title, the only one that really matters. But if you think that these guys – monsters of talent and competition – do not keep an eye on the individual performances of the other two, well you know them badly. Luka Doncic admitted it, Giannis and the Joker undoubtedly do the same. We would still like to point out that Luka did not mention France, although it is composed of Rudy Gobert and Evan Fournier. We don’t take that as a lack of respect, but we still want the Blues to remind him that they are there. Well that’s good, we’re playing Slovenia today.
Luka, Giannis, Jokic, three names that light up EuroBasket 2022 and that will continue to give us moments of pure madness throughout the competition. And given their current level, their paths might well cross as we progress in this tournament which started on an excellent basis. It is then that we will see who is the real king of Europe.
