One round cannot tell us who will be the EuroLeague MVP seven months from now. It can, however, give us our first snapshot of the race, based purely on what happened on opening night rather than projecting who will ultimately win the award. Round 1 delivered plenty of candidates. Carlik Jones claimed the official MVP […]

The 2025 NBA Draft class needed only one season to make its presence felt. Cooper Flagg became Rookie of the Year, Kon Knueppel produced one of the greatest shooting seasons ever by a first-year player and VJ Edgecombe established himself as a genuine two-way building block. Together, the three averaged 55.5 points per game, but […]
TJ Shorts made an explosive debut for Valencia with 26 points, picking up where he had left off before a difficult season at Panathinaikos. His winning basket ensured the Spanish side opened their campaign on the right foot with a 96-94 victory over Besiktas. TJ Shorts needed almost 23 minutes in the opening round of […]
Most visitors come to Dubrovnik for the same reasons. They come for the limestone streets polished smooth by centuries of footsteps. For the imposing walls that once protected one of the Adriatic’s most prosperous maritime republics. For the panoramic views that make the climb worthwhile, even after what feels like an endless staircase. And lately, […]
Now that was a statement. T.J. Shorts could hardly have asked for a better start to the season, emerging as the clear MVP in Valencia’s road win over Besiktas in the EuroLeague opener (94-96). The diminutive guard delivered the kind of performance that brought back memories of his vintage self with Paris, and for the […]
Partizan enters the new EuroLeague season with more experience, better team balance, slightly less individual offensive talent, but also a roster that, on paper, offers a wider range of options than in previous years. At Partizan, they know well that a season is not decided in September, nor by names on paper alone. What will […]
Some nights, nothing goes your way. For Jonathan Motley, his official Crvena Zvezda debut was one of those nights. He struggled defending the pick-and-roll, was called for illegal screens, missed a point-blank finish and threw up a few bricks from the perimeter. By the end of the night, the numbers were historically bad. The American […]
Nigel Williams-Goss was making his way toward the team bus after Žalgiris’ win over Crvena Zvezda at Belgrade Arena. Serbian reporters stopped him for a few questions, a small crowd quickly gathered – and then Sterling Brown appeared. Both Williams-Goss and Brown know what it is like to be on the other side in Belgrade, […]
Panathinaikos looked dominant and… different in their EuroLeague opener. A comfortable 91–72 win over Paris offered an early glimpse of the Greens’ new era under Zeljko Obradovic. Fourteen years on, Zeljko Obradovic was back on the Panathinaikos bench for an official game. His reception at the T-Center carried all the emotion of a return millions […]

The final score of 92-76 can be misleading. Partizan did beat Olimpia Milano comfortably, but the game was nowhere near as calm as the score might suggest. Still, Partizan played an excellent game on both ends. Yes, Milano came back from 52-43 down in the third quarter to tie it at 57-57 and essentially reset […]
It was a long wait, but EuroLeague basketball is finally back. And after just two days, we have already seen plenty – some of it entertaining, some of it revealing, and some of it perhaps flying under the radar. Here are the main takeaways from Round 1. Anyone can beat anyone If the opening round […]
Nigel Hayes-Davis’ Instagram post, published just a few hours before the start of the 2026/27 EuroLeague season and Panathinaikos’ opener against Paris at the T-Center, clearly had specific people in mind. Naturally, among them was the media fraternity, this writer included, given that Hayes-Davis has repeatedly found himself at the center of criticism. And one […]
