Osmani from Tropoja defeats Serbia, Albanian basketball player shines with Turkey in EuroBasket

Turkey managed to get a big win over Serbia in Eurobasket.

At the Riga Arena, in Latvia, a big duel was played, the last in Group A, while on the field were also two players born in Albania and Kosovo.

Erxhan Osmani, 27 years old, born in Bajram Curri, Tropoja, and Kenan Spahiu, born in Pristina 30 years ago.

Osmani was a starter, a very tall basketball player of 2 meters and 13 centimeters, and against Serbia he was one of the best on the court, with 10 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.

Coach Ataman activated him for almost 35 minutes. Of course, he was one of those who helped the main star, Alperen Shengyn, the best player of the match who was decisive with 28 points, 13 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal.

Kenan Spahiu, who for the Turks today is Sipahi and may be of mixed Albanian-Turkish origin, had 5 points in 20 minutes, while his peak in this European Championship was against Latvia seven days ago when he scored 19 points, grabbed 4 rebounds and served 3 assists, being declared the number 1 basketball player of the match.

Returning to Osmani, the 27-year-old from Tropoja is a very well-known name in this sport who previously played with Besiktas, while he is now in the Euroleague with Anadolu Efes, and is remembered for his excellent performance in a duel against Partizan Belgrade with 25 points, 6 boards and 4 assists.
