The 27-year-old center for the Greek national team recorded four impressive blocks even before the halftime buzzer sounded.

Every Lithuanian drive met his hands, which erased shots either with spectacular swats or perfectly timed positioning. Opposing forwards and centers repeatedly saw their attempts denied, “stumbling” over the Greek giant.

Watch the incredible block on Azuolas Tubelis.
