The 2025 EuroBasket Final comes down to two undefeated teams as Turkey and Germany battle it out for glory on Sunday in Riga, Latvia. Turkey is looking to win their first-ever EuroBasket championship, while Germany is trying to get a double since they are the reigning World Cup champions.

Alperen Sengun has been Turkey's best player, carrying the 12 Giant Men on his back for the majority of the tournament. Sengun has outplayed a couple of former MVPs during their run through the final, including Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Meanwhile, Franz Wagner and Dennis Schroder have been the stars for Germany. Wagner is moving towards stardom if he helps his nation win its first EuroBasket since 1993, while Schroder has been clutch. They are looking for the second straight tournament medal after earning bronze in 2022.
