TAMPERE (Finland) - Across four different countries and in four different cities, 288 players are stepping out at FIBA EuroBasket 2025.
And as the action gets underway in Riga, Tampere, Limassol, and Katowice, we've dived into the data pool to see just who the tallest, shortest, oldest, and youngest are competing in this summer's edition.
Who is the tallest?
Latvia's Kristaps Porzingis is an all-around matchup nightmare for opponents. He can drive inside, shoot from anywhere, and given that he is the tallest player at EuroBasket at 2.21 meters, his frame and skillset are valuable for his team.

| Omer Faruk Yurtseven | Türkiye | 2.13 (7ft 0in) |

These three players are dynamic performers who can excel at both ends of the floor and contribute significantly to their respective teams' success.
