We searched through the statistics and video archives of the group stage, so we can bring you the best moments of Eurobasket 2022. In this blog, you will find the Top 5 in the group stage of the competition.
The group stage brought five games for each team and many opportunities to showcase talents. We remind you that more than fifteen NBA basketball players and even more Euroleague stars were present. However, this did not play the biggest role when it comes to personal statistics at Eurobasket.
Luka Dončić: the historic moment of Eurobasket
Slovenian player and international prodigy Luka Dončić already scored 27 points at halftime in the match against France, but that was just the beginning. Slovenia’s victory over France was historic! Luka Dončić shone as the best individual performance in Eurobasket of the last 65 years. He scored 47 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists.
Only a day before, Greek giant Giannis Antetokounmpo became only the third basketball player in the 21st century to exceed the 40-point mark at Eurobasket. Only Pau Gasol and Dirk Nowitzki had done that before him.
