When Young Sengun Challenged Prime Nikola Jokic

Before becoming one of the NBA's best young centers, Alperen Sengun faced one of his toughest international challenges: Nikola Jokic.

In the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 European Qualifiers in 2022, Turkiye battled Serbia in a physical showdown that featured two of the game's most skilled big men. Serbia came away with a 79-72 victory, but Sengun showed exactly why he was considered one of Europe's brightest rising stars, matching up against the reigning NBA MVP with confidence, skill, and relentless energy.

From crafty finishes and elite footwork to impressive passing and tough rebounds, these highlights capture Sengun's fearless performance against one of the greatest centers of his generation.

Relive one of the most exciting big-man battles from the FIBA World Cup Qualifiers.
