News » Pijus Sapetka 2023-08-02 Sandro Mamukelashvili hits two 3-pointers, adds a mid-range jumper, and helps the Georgian national team erase an 18-point fourth-quarter deficit against Lithuania to tie the FIBA World Cup 2023 preparation game in Kaunas, Zalgirio Arena. However, Lithuania's guard Tomas Dimsa makes a game-winning tip-in at the final buzzer, and the hosts defeat Georgia, 104-102.
 2023-05-04 FC Barcelona have completed their first EuroLeague playoff sweep in the round-robin era and grabbed their first 3-0 series win since the quarterfinals in 2013-14.

The 33-year-old was back at his peak MVP season (2019) form, making big-time contributions on both ends of the floor.
 2023-05-01 Kevin Punter made a flashy dribble, and Sergio Llull produced a harsh foul hitting the Partizan playmaker in the abdominal area. The rest is history. The infamous Real-Partizan brawl in Game 2 went viral, while EuroLeague's hashtag was trending on Twitter. Real Madrid's actions caught the attention of the European basketball community as an improper way to behave in a losing situation.
 2023-04-24 2nd seed vs. 7th seed. The only quarterfinal series that could be labeled as a classic David vs. Goliath story. The odds are stacked against Zalgiris Kaunas, who are facing an uphill battle versus a more capable and experienced Spanish giant -- FC Barcelona. Still, on any given day, anything can happen.
 2023-04-11 Real Madrid center Walter Tavares is usually defined as a one-man army when playing for his native Cape Verde, an island country of around 580,000 population. He has carried the national team on his shoulders throughout a historic run in FIBA World Cup 2023 African Qualifiers, earning a ticket to the main tournament in the upcoming summer.
 2023-04-05 2021-07-10. Eight digits that mark a historical date for Nigerian basketball. On that day, Nigeria stunned Team USA in an Olympic exhibition game in Las Vegas and pulled off one of the greatest upsets in international basketball. Nigeria turned the tables around since the 2012 London Olympics when the U.S. squad demolished D'Tigers by 83 points (156-73).
 2023-03-30 AS Monaco forward Chima Moneke is a good reason to buy a ticket for a basketball game. His playing style is impressive and sadly less common in Europe.

 2023-03-17 Thomas Walkup came back to Zalgirio Arena for the second time as an Olympiacos Piraeus member and set up a game-winning play for unofficial EuroLeague MVP Sasha Vezenkov.

 2023-02-14 Ability to kiss the rim, the recreation of the iconic Olympic slam over Frederic Weis, the highest vertical leap (46 inches, 117 cm) ever measured by the NBA, and in-game slams that you could rarely see in the dunk contests. That's a short bio of Prometey Slobozhanske dunk machine DJ Stephens.
 2023-01-21 Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade failed to spoil another magical Zalgiris' night in Kaunas in front of their sold-out crowd. Zalgiris seemed to be safe at halftime, leading 38-30 after 20 minutes of play. However, the picture changed drastically after the break, as Zvezda stepped up defensively, played with more physicality, and made the most of their dominance in the paint.
 2023-01-09 Yes, officiating topic again... Refereeing was a constant theme throughout FIBA EuroBasket 2022. Well-known coaches (Vincent Collet, Ergin Ataman), one of the best players in the world (Luka Doncic), a few EuroLeague stars (Mario Hezonja, Nicolo Melli), and plenty of others were complaining about this part of the game.
 2022-12-12 30 minutes until Zalgiris-Anadolu Efes jump ball.

 2022-10-07 The first Turkish Airlines EuroLeague taste tends to be a bitter bite for most European top-club competition rookies, facing a unique physicality level and every-possession-matter mentality.

 2022-08-22 FIBA EuroBasket returns with full power during September 1–18. The upcoming tournament marks a five-year break since the latest EuroBasket in 2017. Indeed, a long wait for all basketball stars to prove their worth on the continental FIBA court.

That's what you get to experience in the Drew League.
 2022-07-15 Basketball, like any other sport, is played for fans. Without supporters in the gym, it's just not feeling right. COVID-19 pandemic was a huge factor in the last couple of years that interrupted vocal support in the stands and accustomed us to a new reality: crowd-less bubbles, fake noises, and cardboard fans.
 2022-07-10 "When do we play against San Marino?"; Shame on you!"; "Congratulations, Dino [Radja], great job." It's several examples of messages Croatian fans flooded the official Federation channels with after yet another debacle on the international basketball stage.  2022-06-29 It's no secret that the National Basketball League (NBL) is a professional league full of grown men. Most of the starters in a majority of the teams are veteran players, U.S. imports, and established Australian national team members.  2022-06-28 FIBA windows are usually associated with B or C national teams' squads, which cannot rely on EuroLeague and NBA players during the outgoing season. However, it's not the case this time, as we approached an off-season stage.  2022-06-20 The NBA Draft is an event where the dreams of 60 young men become true overnight. It's also a night when the fortunes of NBA franchises change. For better or worse. But over the last decade, it has become something much more significant. | |||
