    MUNICH (Germany) - The Uncovered series dives into classic showdowns from the FIBA EuroBasket archives, bringing new life to unforgettable games as key players relive the action and share their insights.

    The first Semi-Final of the 2005 edition pitted together France and Greece with an ending that cemented its place in EuroBasket folklore, as Theodoros Papaloukas and Boris Diaw recall that famous night two decades on.

    France - chasing their first-ever title after finishing fourth two years earlier - were led by star point guard Tony Parker and had established a seemingly commanding seven-point lead with 43 seconds remaining.

    However, they were up against a side that did not know when it was beat with Greece already having produced a comeback in the Quarter-Finals against Russia. That final minute would change the course of history in what would transpire into a memorable title triumph.
