Winners are remembered. Stories are written about them, their photographs live forever, and their names end up as answers in sports trivia. This isn’t a story about them. This is a story about great players and outstanding teams that came within touching distance of a EuroLeague title – and walked away without one. Most of […]

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. And it also gives you… a few extra nerves, […]
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. The Senegalese forward is not coming to Piraeus to be a star or a focal point of the offense. His role will be to provide value in areas that do not […]
Joffrey Lauvergne’s career has rarely followed the safest or most predictable route. From leaving France as a young player searching for an opportunity, to becoming the first foreign captain in Partizan history, reaching the NBA, voluntarily walking away from San Antonio to chase the EuroLeague with Fenerbahce, battling major injuries and eventually returning to the […]
Russell Westbrook has retired from active play after 18 seasons, having written his own unique history in the NBA. The explosive guard combined speed, power, and passion with a rare ability to impact every aspect of the game.

Twice, 23 years apart, Portland had a few minutes to make a decision that would change its history. In 1984, Michael Jordan was still on the board when the Trail Blazers called Sam Bowie’s name. In 2007, they owned the first pick and decided Greg Oden was the player they wanted to build around, leaving […]

Partizan found its eighth addition for next season in Ethan Thompson. The former Indiana Pacers guard signed a two-year deal, and there will be at least one familiar face waiting for him in the locker room. He already played alongside Carlik Jones with the Windy City Bulls, back when both were still trying to establish […]

With just six weeks to go before the new EuroLeague season gets underway, and judging by the moves made in the market so far, these could be the six biggest new storylines to watch. Coaches, players and teams who look set to have a major impact on the race for the continental crown. 1. Jean […]
The FIBA windows are coming at the end of the month. Soon after that, clubs will gradually begin their preseason preparations, and on September 24, the EuroLeague will be back. For now, though, we’re stuck in that strange in-between period. No games. No preseason yet. Plenty of time to think about basketball. There is a […]

Every NBA reporter should have a template ready by now: Dennis Schröder has been traded. Just change the teams. On Friday night, Schröder was traded for the ninth time and is now set to play for the 12th team of his 13-year NBA career. He doesn’t hold the record – at least not yet. Trevor […]

For Joffrey Lauvergne, returning to Partizan was never supposed to be merely another move. More than a decade after leaving Belgrade, the 34-year-old French big man came back last April with a very specific ambition: not simply to wear the black-and-white jersey again, but, if circumstances allow, to finish his career where one of its […]
