Celtics Star Leads Portugal in EuroBasket…
Less than a minute into Portugal’s first game, Neemias Queta decided to try his hand at a top-of-the-key three-pointer and—surprise!—he made it! This amazing feat is like seeing a penguin fly or a fish ride a bicycle. The Celtics center dazzled in Portugal’s EuroBasket victory over the Czech Republic with 23 points, 18 rebounds, 4 blocks, and 2 steals. Portugal celebrated its first EuroBasket win since 2007 like it was the invention of sliced bread.
During the first half, Queta wowed everyone by hitting an elbow jumper right at the buzzer and swatting away shots like an angry mom with a newspaper and a fly. The Portuguese team played much better with him on the court, outscoring Czechia by 21 points in his 30 minutes. As Portugal prepares to face Nikola Jokic of Serbia next, fans hope Queta performs another act of basketball magic—or at least pulls another pigeon out of his hat.
