Tim Legler and Adam Mares break down the biggest stories from EuroBasket 2025, including Finland and Lauri Markkanen’s shocking upset over Nikola Jokić and Serbia in the knockout round. They discuss whether Finland’s Miikka “Slim Jesus” Muurinen is a real NBA prospect, and Luka Dončić’s standout performance leading Slovenia past Italy. The guys also debate if Simone Fontecchio’s play changes his NBA outlook, whether Giannis Antetokounmpo can carry Greece into the Final Four, and how Kristaps Porziņģis looked strong even in Latvia’s loss. Plus, they analyze Luka’s chances of pushing Slovenia past Germany and the wider implications of the Kawhi Leonard–Steve Ballmer scandal.
