creHe was never considered a great talent. Never the best player of his generation. But Branko Lazić figured out two things early: hard work pays off, and basketball is a team game. That is why he walks away with the kind of career he probably dreamed about when he first picked up a basketball in […]
Four and a half years after Russian and Belarusian basketball effectively disappeared from the international stage, FIBA has taken the first serious step toward their reintegration.

We, as human beings, have a natural tendency to reassure ourselves with one simple phrase: “Everything happens for a reason”. Sometimes, things truly do happen for a purpose. Other times, they simply happen, and we search for an explanation as to why, just so we can feel a little better about the situation. One story […]
Nikola Jokić is a global superstar. Not that we needed any more proof, but we got some anyway. And in a rather unexpected place – the US Open. Why unexpected? Over the years, I’ve done plenty of quizzes with fans at tennis Grand Slams. Easy ones, difficult ones, funny ones, serious ones. Rarely have so […]

The American star, who was acquired last February, suffered a fracture in the 4th metacarpal of his left hand and was even […]
What would sports be without music? Something like food without salt –or sugar– if you ask us. Every intense or calm moment in sports can easily be paired with a soundtrack, whatever comes to mind for each person. 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 […]
EuroLeague is preparing to expand to 24 teams, with the combined offers from the 11 candidates seeking franchise status approaching €700 million and poised to redraw the map of European basketball.

When a $30 million fine appears in an official NBA announcement, it is difficult to describe the punishment as mild. The Los Angeles Clippers are also losing five first-round picks, Steve Ballmer has been suspended for one year, Lawrence Frank for six months without pay, president of business operations Gillian Zucker for one year without […]

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.
