Lauri Markkanen has only continued to make his mark during the 2025 EuroBasket tournament, as he and Finland just pulled off one of the biggest upsets in tournament history by beating Nikola Jokic and Serbia. Doing so is certainly one of the high marks of Markkanen's career, but doing so also shows something sad about the Utah Jazz star: he simply hasn't accomplished much in his NBA career.
When asked by BasketNews' Edvinas Jablonskis if beating Serbia is his biggest accomplishment as a professional basketball player, Markkanen admitted that it's definitely in the conversation.
