September 10th, Türkiye defeated Poland 91-77. After the game, Kokmaz was interviewed.

When asked whether this Turkish team is the best in team history, it also includes the Turkish team that reached the final of the European Championship in 2001 (lost to Yugoslavia in the final and won the runner-up). Kokmaz said: "I was only 4 years old in 2001, so I didn't have any impression of it. But I have always been proud of that team, they are the 12 giants."

"We used to call this team the golden generation, and always said that opportunities will come, they will come, and we still have time. But now, the time for us has come. Every time we step on the court, we are proving this. We are not just winning, but also enjoying the way we play basketball."

In this game, Kokmaz scored 10 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 steal. In the semi-finals, the Turkish men's basketball team will play against the Greek men's basketball team.
