Nicolas Batum was watching the game between France and Germany and he remembered his early years in the Eurobasket tournaments, comparing Evan Fournier to the Greek “refuse to lose” mentality.

For many years, Greece was always finding the way to come back in big games and win. Its victims included France.

With the “Les Bleus” approaching the final moments of their eventual defeat to Germany, Evan Fournier kept fighting (16 points in the fourth period) and even made it a two-point game in the last seconds. That led Batum to tweet: “Fournier obviously has Greek roots.”
