In basketball, however, there is one music genre that has become most closely linked with the game. […]
It was a bleak period for the latest incarnation of my country, this time called Serbia and Montenegro. After gold medals in Istanbul in 2001 and Indianapolis in 2002 came a painful generational change. Apparently, the latest change of the country’s name didn’t help either. Sixth place at EuroBasket 2003. At the time, basketball fans […]
The Decision in 2010. The return to his Cleveland Cavaliers in 2014. Then 2018 and one of the most famous jerseys in basketball – the Los Angeles Lakers. For most of LeBron James’ career, his arrival automatically meant one thing: his new team was a championship contender. James turns 42 in December, and his arrival […]
Five years can feel like an eternity in basketball. For AS Monaco, they were enough to go from the new kids on the block to one of the most recognizable forces in European basketball. When the Roca Team entered the EuroLeague in 2021, following its EuroCup triumph, nobody could know exactly what would follow. Monaco […]

The dispute surrounding Thomas Walkup, Olympiacos and Dubai BC is developing into something much broader than a transfer story. It raises questions about contractual stability, a player’s right to terminate an agreement, international transfer rules and the limits of recruitment between EuroLeague clubs. Olympiacos’ position is clear: Walkup remains under contract through the summer of […]
The man who reshaped the financial balance of Israeli basketball, Ofer Yannay, is reducing his involvement in Hapoel Tel Aviv’s ownership structure and day-to-day operations, while sharing control with three new powerful shareholders. This marks the next chapter for a club that has grown at unprecedented speed. Hapoel Tel Aviv is one of Israel’s most […]

Jonathan Kuminga could have guaranteed himself nearly $50 million over two seasons last summer, and he initially sought a similar amount this summer. Instead, he chose Minnesota for $12.4 million in total, with a player option in the second year of the deal. Between those two figures lies a complicated story about his value around […]

And perhaps the biggest overhaul of all has taken place at Barça, who have been some distance […]
This piece was originally written in April 2019, after Dirk Nowitzki announced his retirement. Seven years later, the memories – and the emotions – haven’t changed much. My brother had gone to bed.
