Greece secures top spot in EuroBasket group behind Giannis' historic performance

Gyro Step Podcast Network: Covering all things Milwaukee Bucks

Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to prove he's the best player in the world with the Greek national team, as Greece won four straight games to kick off the EuroBasket 2022 group stage and secure the top spot after a comeback win against Ukraine on Tuesday. Giannis dropped 41 points, the most scored in any EuroBasket game since Dirk Nowitzki scored 43 in 2001, in the latest big win after coming up huge in clutch wins over Croatia and Italy, and he and Greece are poised to make a deep run in the knockout phase. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti recapped Greece's run so far and looked ahead to the teams they will likely play should they advance in the next round, including Luka Doncic's Slovenia and a rematch versus Nikola Jokic and Serbia.

Ti and Rohan also examined Sandro Mamukelashvili and the Georgian team as they fight for the last spot in their group to move on, and debated if they'd be willing to trade Mamu for Tyler Dorsey after his great fit with Giannis for the Greek team was on full display in EuroBasket.
