The decisions surrounding EuroLeague expansion, franchise licenses and broadcasting revenues could fundamentally change the competition’s economics. But the Israeli businessman is equally interested in the transfer market, the increasingly influential role of club owners and the battle for supremacy between Panathinaikos […]
Fenerbahce have officially signed Dwight Powell, adding a player with nearly 12 years of NBA experience to their frontcourt. The 35-year-old Canadian is not arriving in Istanbul as a high-volume scorer, but as an experienced big man who could provide several important qualities to Sarunas Jasikevicius’ already talented roster. Whenever an NBA player makes the […]

As FIBA has aptly reminded us on more than one occasion with its slogan Basketball is Everywhere, no matter how remote a place may seem, there is always a chance of finding an orange ball bouncing somewhere. Even in locations that might appear particularly inhospitable to the sport, such as deep inside the Arctic Circle, […]

The EuroLeague has a strange way of making time fly and stand still at once. It feels as though the season has only just started – at least when you look at the calendar. And yet, nine rounds are already behind us, and we’re approaching the quarter mark of the regular season. Time for our […]

At 34 years old, the Real Madrid center remains one of the most influential big men in European basketball, with his performances in this season’s EuroLeague showing that his impact is far from fading. Some players […]
With four minutes remaining in Bologna, Besiktas trailed by 13 points. Over the past 19 years, teams had trailed by at least 13 points with four minutes remaining on 2,377 occasions. Only four had come back to win. Make that five. A chaotic finish, a game-winning three from Morgan, and somehow Dusan Alimpijevic’s Besiktas had […]
