The Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen is the first All-Star from Finland. Markkanen also was one of a league-record four European starters in Sunday’s game, joining Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Luka Doncic.

“Oh, it’s everything,” Markkanen said. “Just having the love all the way over from Finland, just trying to represent the country to the best of my ability, really. Take a lot of pride in that and see how far we can take this thing.”
