Pesic is the European Pop. Won a Euro championship in 1993, could compete for a World Cup title on Sunday 30 years later.

Yup, I just mentioned 1993 to indicate the time difference (and because it's the only title we ever won, lol).

Serbia doing what Lithuania did to the US so far. Good news is that the Canadians saw this coming and can still adjust after the first half. I think they will, meaning counter it with more speed in the second half to try to get away from this bully ball from Serbia.

Yet again this dude commentating doesn’t know the rules.

Said because the challenge was successful Serbia keep it, but that’s not the case in Fiba.

German commentator though and I'm not sure it works in other countries (or VPN).

Canada’s transition defense has been just terrible. Can’t be loafing back in a game of this magnitude

RJ the spectator. Then pushes from behind on a box out. Frustrating.
