In the early morning of August 29, in the 2025 Men's Basketball Team European Cup group stage, the Polish Men's Basketball Team beat Slovenian Men's Basketball Team 105-95 and got a good start. Israel, Poland and France in Group D all won their first wins, while Slovenia, Iceland and Belgium all suffered a black start. Slovenia still lost to Poland with Luka Doncic, the NBA superstar, which has caused many European media to discuss.

Three years ago, the Polish men's basketball team also defeated Slovenia. Poland narrowly won 3 points 90-87. The first contributor to the winning game at that time was Bonetka, who scored 26 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists.

Three years later, Bonitka led Poland to defeat Slovenia 105-95. In this game, Bonitka was not the first hero but the second in charge. He made 8 of 13 shots in the game and scored 23 points and 7 rebounds, because the first hero was Poland's naturalized Jordan Loyd.

On August 8, 2025, the Polish Basketball Association officially announced that it naturalized US defender Jordan Loyd. The 1.93-meter-tall defender won the championship with the Raptors in 2019, and has been in the NBL, Israeli League, La Liga, NBA, G League, Russian League, etc. in his career.

In this game, Luka Doncic made 7 of 14, 3 of 9 three-pointers, 17 of 18 free throws, scored 34 points, 9 assists, 4 rebounds, 5 steals, 2 blocks, and 4 mistakes. His shooting percentage was 50%. Such data was already very violent.

But Loyd made 9 of 14 shots, 7 of 8 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, scored 32 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 turnover, shooting percentage 64.3%, three-point shooting percentage 87.5%, plus-negative value +18, and efficiency value 30. His efficiency value is completely better than Doncic.

In this game, Loyd became the fourth player in the European Cup history, and his European Cup debut scored 32 points in the fourth highest in history.

US media Clutchpoints also posted a comparison of the data of these two people. You should know that Loyd is just a undraft in the NBA and is also a marginalist after entering the NBA, while Doncic is a superstar in the NBA.

Some European media reporters believe that in this game against Slovenia, Poland's naturalized Loyd was Michael Jordan's baton.
