Slovenia's win secured its first-place finish in Group B before advancing to the knockout stage.

He worked in his increasingly dangerous mid-range game, picked apart mismatches to get his shots at the rim and his 3-ball was falling, something that has been a bit of a weakness of his over this tournament. Though there's still over a month away from the 2022-23 NBA season, Doncic looks like he's in the best shape of his NBA career while playing with Slovenia. Not only did Doncic's point total surpass Giannis' mark, it was also the [most points scored](https://twitter.com/EuroBasket/status/1567562033163280385?s=20&t=dykfDQSgkpdKyfmSB2RX2Q) in a single EuroBasket game in the last 65 years and second-highest scoring tally in the tournament's history. What's most impressive about Doncic's performance was he only needed 23 shots to get to 47 points, shooting 65 percent from the field and 55 percent from 3-point territory. Doncic thought about it for a second, and said [he would put his money on Antetokounmpo](https://twitter.com/EuroBasket/status/1567266401433559040?s=20&t=dykfDQSgkpdKyfmSB2RX2Q). However, just 20 hours after Slovenia knocked off the previously unbeaten Germany team, Doncic followed up his stellar performance from Tuesday with an absurd 47-point game in a win against France to help his team finish in first place in Group B.

Consider the fact that there’s probably no one else in the world who is even attempting that shot, let alone making it. Luka may go down as the greatest try shit player of all time. Consider that it happened in one of the greatest games in EuroBasket history, while Slovenia pulled out another upset win. No one in history can make trick shots like Doncic. It was an effort that featured all the hallmarks of Doncic’s singular greatness, including another one of his signature ridiculous shots. Doncic carried his native Slovenia — a country of just 2.1 million people — to a shocking EuroBasket title in 2017 as an 18-year-old before he was drafted into the NBA.
