Serbia, Slovenia earn No. 1 seeds in EuroBasket 2022, but elimination phase awaits

EuroBasket 2022 is in full swing and both participants from the Denver Nuggets have survived the first cuts.

Serbia destroyed anyone who stood in their way and they did so behind the stellar play of back-to-back NBA MVP Nikola Jokic as well as a roster stocked full of high IQ players who fit together incredibly well.

Slovenia, in the significantly tougher Group B, had a rough start, but found their footing in time to still emerge as the first seed. While their path to the tournament portion of EuroBasket was no where near as easy as Serbia, they are now battle hardened and have become stronger in the face of adversity.
