    It starts August,27
    BTW,Dennis promised that Germany will win a championship

    First, Schröder has the European Championships in Finland and Latvia starting on August 27th and then the next NBA season with his new club Sacramento Kings. The point guard has clear expectations of the European Championships. "We will win the title. If I wasn’t convinced, I wouldn’t play the tournament and would rather spend my time in Braunschweig.”

    luka's d wasn't very strong in some of those highlights, lol. they were exploiting his disinterest in chasing guys around screens.

    the difference in talent between the teams is astounding. slovenia's got like, nothing; whereas serbia had at least 4 different guys hit iso crossover threes in those clips. slovenia's guard banked one in on accident.

    i was wondering why luka doesn't get off the ball occasionally, and then i see a clip of the pg throwing the ball away trying to get it to him off a screen.

    i guess the good news is that once the tournament starts, the wear and tear on luka should be minimal, as they don't look like they'll beat anyone.

    Bonkers that Slovenia (such a small country) won Eurobasket in 2017 and got 4th place in Olympics in 2020. Dragic/Luka was a combo that made up for the lack of other talent.

    Strange how Lithunia has kind of fallen off thee map and the Scandanivian countries haven't started producing more basketball talent

    Without Anthony Randolph who played for Slovenia they would've probably been eliminated long time before finals

    definitely a lot of Luka getting frustrated moments in this one

    talent discrepancy makes this hard to judge but he did blow some bunnies in this one and kept grabbing at his R knee. bad game for him tbh

    It started.
    Turkey completely destroyed Latvia.

    Luka will be playing tomorrow vs Poland
    In front of Jennie and Pelinka .


    The executives of the Lakers have arrived in Poland for EuroBasket. General Manager Rob Pelinka and former team owner Jeanie Buss flew to the European Championship to watch the game of Slovenia's star player and Lakers' Luka Dončić.

    The group arrived in Katowice from Los Angeles on a private jet that took them directly to the venue for Slovenia's matches.

    It is expected that the Lakers representatives will attend Slovenia's games against Poland (August 28) and against France (August 30).
    If everything is going accordingly Luka and Slovenia will play Italy in playoffs and winner will have a chance to eliminate Serbia in 1/4.
