One of the main storylines heading into Round 7 of the EuroLeague was undoubtedly TJ Shorts’ return to Paris, this time at the helm of Valencia Basket. It was not the first time the American point guard had faced his former team —Shorts recorded 13 points and six rebounds nearly a year ago, on November […]
At 37, Jermaine Love has little left to prove on the basketball court. Yet, for the American guard of Mykonos BC, success has come to mean much more than money, statistics, or personal accolades.

Honestly, what’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hold a basketball? Yes, okay, to shoot or maybe dribble. Alright, fair enough. But many connoisseurs and romantics of the sport would answer “the trick where you spin the ball on your finger.” Or something like that, because… it doesn’t really have an established […]
Kyrie Irving has concerns about the evolution of the NBA, the influence of social media and sports betting, and the pressure players face today.

Ibon Navarro said he had watched both of Crvena Zvezda’s EuroLeague defeats to Partizan last season. On both occasions, Zvezda’s problems were primarily mental. In the first game, they collapsed in the final quarter. In the second, they lacked energy and were far too nervous because of the importance of the occasion. Navarro watched them. […]

Crvena Zvezda started the EuroLeague season with two consecutive defeats but have now won 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).

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 […]

Partizan got the result it desperately needed in the first Belgrade derby of the season. After three consecutive EuroLeague defeats, an 85-82 overtime victory against Crvena zvezda brought some relief to Joan Peñarroya and his players. But the fourth quarter exposed a problem that has followed Partizan through the opening weeks of the season: once […]

Vasilije Micic is the highest-paid player in this season’s EuroLeague, with his annual salary estimated at €5.6 million. Against Panathinaikos, however, the Serbian guard needed just nine points to show why he remains such an important piece of Hapoel Tel Aviv’s project.

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 […]
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 […]
