    HELSINKI (FIBA U20 European Championship Division A) - With the curtain falling on the action in Helsinki on Sunday night, social media was alight with news from the tournament.

    The first big shout out and thanks should be directed towards the tournament's graceful hosts. Despite Finland not having the best tournament on the court, they turned on a fantastic tournament of it. See you all again for FIBA #EuroBasket2017! 

    It may not have been gold for a talented Turkish generation, but there was still reason to smile.

    But on the night, it was all about Spain, their captain letting us know that winning feeling.

    Someone was particularly proud of the tournament MVP...

    ...Spain are after all, now kings of European youth hoops.

    Congratulations came in from all sides, including Spanish superstar Pau Gasol.

    Let's not forget it was not just Division A coming to a conclusion on Sunday night. Some famous faces were spotted down in Greece, where the hosts held out against Croatia in the bronze medal game to book their return to Division A for 2017.
