Summertime. Beach. Chilling (for the traditionalists). Beach games (for the hyperactive paddleball players). Whatever the case, you need a coffee for every occasion. Frappé, freddo, latte, mochaccino, whatever you fancy – we’re not judging. The thing is, beyond summer laziness, coffee also serves human functionality. Proven.

Mbaye Ndiaye’s arrival at Olympiacos adds a very specific set of qualities to the roster: athleticism, intensity and defensive versatility at the four position.

Just under a year ago, with three minutes left in the Women’s EuroBasket final, the changing of the guard in European women’s basketball seemed to be on the verge of becoming a reality.
