Basketball drama in Turkey! As EuroBasket approaches, the burning question is: who will actually lead the national team? Shane Larkin or Kendrik Nan? Coach Ergin Ataman clearly prefers Nan, but the Panathinaikos star is not a priority and is still waiting for Larkin’s answer. Federation officials want the Efes star to lead the national team again, but time is running out and the answer is delayed. “We can’t force anyone to play for the national team,” says Hidayet Turkoglu, head of the Turkish Basketball Federation. If Larkin says no, the push for Nan’s loyalty will go full throttle! Paperwork for the Panathinaikos guard has been in the works for a while, and as early as May, the possibility of Nan playing for Turkey was confirmed. EuroBasket will be brutal — Turkey is in a group with Serbia, Latvia, Portugal, Estonia, and the Czech Republic. Will Turkey manage this uncertainty, and who will carry the burden — Larkin or Nan? Fans are on edge, and time is ticking! Got thoughts on this basketball chaos? Drop a comment — let’s see who’s Team Larkin and who’s Team Nan! Maybe your conspiracy theory will be the right one!
