In our continuing efforts to keep you apprised of the latest developments from the Eurobasket ’13 qualifier, we grant Tweet of the Night to Jonas Jerebko of the Swedish National Team.
Jerebko is listed in columnist A.J. Mitnick’s terrific list of the top 25 players with NBA ties competing this summer in the qualifier for next summer’s European Championship in Slovenia.
Mitnick will have another column after the qualifying concludes this week. In case you missed it, Tweet of he Night from Sunday went to Danilo Gallinari for the Italian national team’s 8-0 performance.
Jerebko’s team is among nine national teams still in contention for five spots in next summer’s tournament. Surprisingly, Serbia and Turkey are among them. The other contenders are Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Estonia, Latvia and Sweden.
