Kurtinaitis spoke about comparing Adetokunbo to Petrović, Galis and Schmidt

Lithuanian national team head coach Rimas Kurtinaitis answered a question about which stars of the past the Greek leader Giannis Antetokounmpo reminded him of before the quarter-final game of "Eurobasket 2025" against Greece.

"I don't know if you remember, but there was Drazen Petrovic, one of the greatest players of all time. I had the chance to see his game. Nikos Galis played in the Greek squad and he scored 40 points in every game.

And Oscar Schmidt from Brazil, who could score 50 points. But it is often difficult for one player to win a match. Our main goal is to prevent others. We have to destroy their team game," said Kurtinaitis.

The Lithuania - Greece game will be held today, September 9, in Riga (Latvia) and will start at 22:00 Baku time.

Kurtinaitis has coached Azerbaijani clubs "Qala" and "Sabah", as well as the national team.
