If you follow our blog regularly, you might have seen us talk about a huge landmark in our home country this year. 2022 marks 100 years of our national sport, basketball, in Lithuania — and it’s going to be a huge summer for the national team with both the World Championship qualifiers and EuroBasket taking place!

To mark the anniversary and to commemorate the centenary of Lithuanian basketball, one hundred Lithuanian basketball legends were immortalized in special brass tiles this month. Each of the tiles are now proudly displayed at the site of legends and fans at Basketball House, the home of Lithuanian basketball, Kaunas.

The grand opening ceremony took place on the eve of the Lithuanian basketball century, and we are delighted to announce that we, The Tallest Twins, were both on the list. Although I was at number 52 and Darjus was at 53. Haha, but I’m only joking, the order was purely alphabetical. Sorry Darjus!

We are immensely proud of this achievement and would like to thank the public, coaches, and selection panel for making us part of this truly unique piece of Lithuanian basketball history.
