One already knows what it feels like to win the Eternal Derby. On Thursday, the other will experience Serbian basketball’s biggest rivalry as a head coach for the first time. Joan Peñarroya and Ibon Navarro spent years competing against each other in Spain, developing a mutual respect that endured even as their careers took different […]

Crvena Zvezda started the EuroLeague season with two consecutive defeats but have now won four games in a row. Partizan, meanwhile, opened with a perfect 3-0 record before suffering three straight losses. Two teams from the same city, moving in completely different directions, showing just how quickly things can change in the EuroLeague. Belgrade has […]
The first EuroLeague derby of the season comes with Partizan and Crvena zvezda heading in opposite directions. After opening the campaign with three consecutive victories, the Black and Whites have now lost three straight, while their biggest rival has recovered from two early defeats to win four games in a row. Still, when the ball […]
Dramatic developments are unfolding in Greek basketball, as EOK president Vangelis Liolios was arrested on Wednesday afternoon (October 21). Following the issuance of arrest warrants for Liolios, an EOK member, an external associate and a referee, one of the most powerful figures in Greek basketball was taken into custody. The three-month prosecutorial investigation was conducted […]
Hapoel Tel Aviv’s 91-81 victory over Panathinaikos in Athens was more than another early-season result. It ended the Greek club’s unbeaten start to the EuroLeague campaign, demonstrated Hapoel’s ability to compete in one of Europe’s most demanding environments and offered Elijah Bryant another opportunity to underline his importance to Dimitris Itoudis’ team. Bryant finished with […]
Ibon Navarro showed few signs of nerves ahead of his first Belgrade derby. At least, that was the impression he gave while speaking to reporters at Belgrade Arena. “I went outside on Monday and decided not to go out again until Friday. There’s your answer,” the Spanish coach said with a smile when asked whether […]
“I know very well that the derby is the most important game of the season,” former Partizan captain Vladimir Lučić once said. Even with games coming every other day, Belgrade and the fans of its two biggest clubs somehow find time to catch their breath and focus on the derby – one of the few […]
Virtus Bologna, widely expected — wrongly, so far — to be one of this season’s EuroLeague punching bags, have won four straight games, offering early vindication for Álex Mumbrú’s recruitment beyond the established EuroLeague names. The standout discovery of the project, however, is Marcus Carr — by far. Marcus Carr belongs to the category of […]
Crvena Zvezda are gathering momentum, with Ibon Navarro bringing a fresh approach to the EuroLeague. The Belgrade side have won four straight games against Efes, Dubai, ASVEL and Paris, and the Spanish coach deserves the credit. Patience wears thin quickly in Belgrade, particularly when a new project begins with two home defeats. Losses to Zalgiris, […]

In his first season in Spain, TJ Shorts is on the verge of etching his name into the Liga Endesa history books while leading a revamped Valencia Basket side looking to maintain its place among the elite of Spanish and European basketball after last season’s breakthrough. The American point guard is closing in on a […]
With the signing of Christian Koloko, Crvena zvezda has likely completed its center rotation and addressed what it had been missing: more defensive toughness in the paint and better rim protection. But Koloko’s arrival could also be particularly important for Nick Weiler-Babb. Injuries in the frontcourt have forced Zvezda to improvise around the basket in […]
