In basketball, they say you have to put your body on the line. Some players took this a bit too literally and added their teeth to the toll. Elbows, awkward falls, and collisions with teammates have created stories that sent the protagonists straight from the hardwood to the dentist — sometimes with a brief detour […]
After weeks of waiting and uncertainty, LeBron James decided to return for a record-setting 24th NBA season. He had already acknowledged that the series against Houston was probably his last in a Lakers uniform, but he did not rush into what came next.

Panathinaikos’ roster is looking for its final backcourt piece. SKWEEK opens the NBA files and scans the options, at a time when the European talent pool seems to have dried up. Panathinaikos has undeniably built one of the deepest, most athletic, and high-quality rosters in its modern European history. Yet, even in such a well-oiled […]
Shooting sleeves have been an integral part of basketball style for years. Some wear them for comfort, others for protection, and others because, let’s be honest, they add a little NBA flair to their look. But can they actually affect performance? The most relevant scientific study was published in 2020 and examined 20 male basketball […]
At 26, Filip Petrušev has already experienced more than many players do in an entire career. He has been an NBA player, won trophies in Europe, played under some of the continent’s most demanding coaches, represented Serbia on the biggest international stage and, last summer, became one of the most talked-about names on the transfer […]
Basketball. Two teams. Ten players on the court. Everyone knows which jersey they are wearing and which basket they need to score in. Simple things. Unless you are in the NBA in 1978, where a game took four months to complete. On November 8, the Philadelphia 76ers faced the New Jersey Nets. During the third […]
LeBron James left tens of millions of dollars on the table to wear the Philadelphia 76ers jersey. The smallest contract of his career is not a financial decision, but the clearest statement yet that, at 41 years old, he is chasing only one thing: another championship. If someone looked only at the numbers on the […]
Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot has been announced by Real Madrid on a two-year contract, giving Pedro Martinez another “go-to guy” for the upcoming season. Here is everything you need to know about “TLC” through the lens of SKWEEK. The 31-year-old small forward arrives after an outstanding season with Baskonia (18.2 points per game on 54.8% two-point shooting […]
Always during the off-season—as well as the days leading up to the end of a competitive season—there is often a beautiful, little, and… chaotic frenzy. Rumors, approaches from teams to players, player proposals from agents to teams, a merry-go-round of departures, total rebuilds… And then there is Barcelona! What happened this summer with the Catalans […]

I still remember the warm-up. I was sitting in the media section before a EuroLeague Top 16 game between Crvena zvezda and Barcelona during the 2014-15 season. One three-pointer. Then another. Then another. Six in a row from well beyond the arc. Mario Hezonja, a 20-year-old from Dubrovnik, Croatia. A few months later, Orlando selected […]
