Lauri Markkanen and Goran Dragic have played against each other in the NBA but also in the EuroBasket with their respective national teams.
The 20-year old Fin completed his rookie season successfully with the Chicago Bulls, averaging 15.2 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, and immediately became a fan favorite. Back in Finland, his fans are so passionate that they have even taken a picture of him blocking Goran Dragic during the 2017 EuroBasket and used it on their milk cartons.
I don’t know if American milk cartons still have pictures of missing kids, but in Finland we have a picture of Lauri Markkanen blocking Goran Dragić. from r/nba
Even if Dragic got the last laugh in that game and eventually won the championship with Slovenia, this gesture from Markkanen’s fans is something else.
