“I’m going for a little walk around the neighborhood,” a British friend of mine told me while visiting Belgrade. “Now I understand why you’re so good at basketball,” he said with a smile when he returned. I laughed before he could even explain. I knew exactly what he meant – you can’t walk for five […]

Under Ibon Navarro, gifted scorer Jordan Nwora is proving that he can be a leading figure for Crvena Zvezda in more ways than one. In a game that finishes 62-57, every extra possession carries added weight. Every rebound that completes a defensive stop and every steal that takes a possession away from the opposition can […]
More players with NBA experience are choosing to continue their careers in the EuroLeague, bringing additional quality and international attention to the competition. However, the experiences of Kendrick Nunn, Lonnie Walker and Dwight Powell show that adapting to European basketball involves much more than individual talent. EuroLeague has become an increasingly attractive destination for players […]
Dwight Powell got his first taste of EuroLeague basketball in Fenerbahce’s 84-65 win over Baskonia, earning praise from head coach Sarunas Jasikevicius along the way. Just 3 points on debut would rarely be enough to steal the spotlight. In Dwight Powell’s case, though, his first EuroLeague appearance gave Sarunas Jasikevicius plenty of reasons to be […]
Not so long ago, Nikola Jovic seemed destined to become a significant NBA player. And dreaming a little bigger – perhaps even of stardom – hardly felt unreasonable. Now, he’s barely part of the Miami Heat rotation. His game is being tested, but perhaps even more so, his patience and resilience. And he’s still only […]
With 20 teams and 38 regular-season games, EuroLeague’s demanding schedule is making roster depth more valuable than ever. Real Madrid’s recent injury problems offer a clear example of why teams need reliable options beyond their biggest stars. Modern EuroLeague basketball is no longer just about having the best starting five. With 20 teams, 38 regular-season […]
Christian Koloko needed just three EuroLeague appearances to make his presence felt at Crvena Zvezda. The Cameroonian center arrived in Belgrade with 122 NBA regular-season games behind him, experience alongside some of basketball’s biggest names and a career that had already taken an unexpected turn because of a serious health problem. Now, at 26, he […]
At the helm of Crvena Zvezda, Ibon Navarro has returned to the EuroLeague as a head coach for the first time in twelve years, having previously taken charge of his hometown team, Baskonia, when he replaced Italian coach Marco Crespi during the 2014-15 season. Following an excellent start to the campaign, with his team sitting […]
With 20 teams and 38 regular-season games, EuroLeague coaches are facing challenges that extend far beyond tactics. Managing injuries, rotations, travel and player workloads has become an essential part of competing at the highest level. Coaching in the EuroLeague is no longer simply about preparing a team for its next opponent. With 38 regular-season rounds, […]

Barcelona’s summer roster building was something of a rollercoaster. Yet after 10 regular-season rounds, the Catalans are answering their doubters on all fronts and sit just one win off the top of the standings. Had Barcelona been judged solely on events between spring and summer, few would have expected such an encouraging start. The disappointments […]
