Serbia Lights It Up—106-72 Blowout Over Slovenia Before EuroBasket

Serbia made a statement in their final EuroBasket warm-up, dismantling Slovenia 106-72 with a dominant performance. From the jump, Serbia pulled ahead—leading 64-36 by halftime—and never looked back. Luka Dončić had 17 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists, but struggled from deep (just 2-for-10 on threes), and sat out the fourth as the game was well in hand. On Serbia’s side, Nikola Jović led the charge with 18 points and 7 boards, while Bogdan Bogdanović added 14, and Nikola Jokić chipped in 10 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists in limited minutes. With the Belgrade Arena rocking and Serbia finishing their pre-tournament gallop at a perfect 7-0, they’ve thrown down a serious gauntlet heading into the competition. #EuroBasket2025 #Serbia #Slovenia #LukaDoncic #NikolaJokic #NikolaJovic #Basketball #FIBA #Sports

Dennis Schröder: “I Won’t Receive the Same Love in Germany as Dirk Because I’m Dark-Skinned”

Dennis Schröder opened up in a recent interview about the differences between how he’s viewed compared to German legend Dirk Nowitzki. “I was already sitting in front of the TV at the age of 14 when Dirk carried the flag at the 2008 Olympics. Back then, I thought: How cool, there can’t be a greater honor. Today, however, I know: It will never be the same for me as it was for Dirk. I won’t receive the same love in this country because I’m dark-skinned.” Schröder admitted he hasn’t always fit the German public’s expectations of how a star should behave, especially when he was younger, but he emphasized that judgment based on race or image remains a societal problem. Despite the challenges, Schröder says he plans to return home after his NBA career: “Braunschweig is my home. That’s why I bought the basketball club there, and that’s why we’re planning academies, camps, and schools for young people.” Currently preparing for the European Championship and his first season with the Sacramento Kings, Schröder made his goals clear: “We will win the title. If I wasn’t convinced of that, I wouldn’t play in the tournament.” #NBA #DennisSchroder #DirkNowitzki #Germany #SacramentoKings #EuroBasket #Basketball #FIBA #BasketballHistory #Sports
