News » Jonas Miklovas2024-08-10 Even a sharpshooter like Steph Curry was a little surprised after nailing his last — and most jaw-dropping — three-pointer of the Olympic gold medal match against France. Curry had already drained three in a row and seven overall that night, and felt the urge to try one more. That last shot sent a wave of oohs and aahs through the Bercy Arena in Paris.
2024-08-08 Even though the 2024 Paris Olympic basketball tournament's quarterfinal pairs were determined straight after the Group Stage games, the full Olympics basketball playoff bracket took a bit more time. Following the Group Stage, the draw ceremony determined which quarterfinal pairs will face each other in the semifinals.
2024-08-04 Kevin Durant never imagined he would find himself in Lille. It wasn’t the destination he envisioned when signing up for the Paris Olympics, nor a typical vacation spot. Yet, after nine days in this northeastern French city, Durant and everyone else who experienced it could agree: it was unforgettable.
2024-08-02 Figuring out the matchups for the Olympic basketball tournament's quarterfinals isn't the easiest task. However, despite the complexity, it's more straightforward than it seems at first glance. The final two group-stage games will be played on Saturday, with Serbia facing South Sudan and the USA taking on Puerto Rico.
2024-07-31 Joel Embiid waved his arms and spun around to send a message to the entire Pierre Mauroy Stadium in Lille. The reaction was familiar—boos filled the air—but Embiid made it clear he didn't care. Embiid stands out as the only Team USA athlete to face such hostile treatment at the Paris Olympics, leaving even his teammates puzzled.
2024-07-30 Team USA is adjusting not only to international play but also to each other, and this might be an even harder task. Steve Kerr, coaching Team USA for the second summer in a row, summed up the challenge.
2024-07-29 With a combined total of 10 NBA championships, 7 MVP trophies, and 5 Olympic gold medals, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry have nothing left to prove. They've dazzled in the brightest arenas, handled immense pressure, and proven their greatness time and again. They've weathered waves of criticism and basked in the glory of their success.
2024-07-27 It didn't take long for Dillon Brooks to find a familiar face courtside during his Olympic debut. Sitting next to a play-by-play commentator Noah Eagle, there was Dwyane Wade, a color commentator for the NBC family of networks' coverage of Olympics basketball.
2023-05-19 As Kostas Papanikoloau was substituted with 47 seconds left to play in the fourth quarter, the job was done. His team, Olympiacos Piraeus were comfortably leading by 12 points, up to that point having allowed only 19 points in the second half.
2023-04-15 Zalgiris mid-season addition Isaiah Taylor played a big-time role in the clutch Kaunas' run of four straight EuroLeague victories to make an astonishing appearance in the Top 8. Four months and a half ago, Taylor was still a player of Anadolu Efes Istanbul, who failed the three-peat mission and missed this season's playoffs.
2023-01-19 I won't say anything new if I say that online insults or threats are, unfortunately, a daily routine for every one of us. Players are harassed after bad games, referees after missed calls, coaches after losing streaks, journalists after articles, etc. Having worked as an online media journalist since 2005, I've learned to ignore it. Or at least try to ignore it.
2022-12-14 Zalgiris Kaunas head coach Kazys Maksvytis shared a positive message after the loss against Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade. After the last season's game in Kaunas, there was some tension between Zalgiris and Crvena Zvezda fans. Serbian team players refused to hold the 'Stop the war' banner, supporting Ukraine in the war against Russia, resulting in heavy boos from Zalgiris fans.
2022-10-28 With all the talk about future final fours in Dubai, Berlin, Kaunas and so on, I find myself questioning over and over again: are final fours here to stay? Is this the right way to find out the best team of EuroLeague? Why can't we have proper playoffs? Previous EuroLeague CEO, Jordi Bertomeu, was clear - as long as he was in charge, Final four was the event to end the season.
2022-09-18 FIBA recapped EuroBasket 2022 by organizing a press conference with FIBA Europe President Turgay Demirel, FIBA Executive Director in Europe, Kamil Novak, and the German Basketball Federation (DBB) President and FIBA Treasurer, Ingo Weiss. Three executives discussed various topics with the media, including TV ratings, the FIBA windows system, the attention to NBA superstars, and more.
2022-09-18 You cannot get a bigger rivalry in the European basketball scene than Spain vs. France. Between 2009 and 2016, these two met 10 times and 7 of those games were in the playoffs. There were classic games, heartbreaking losses at home, a gold medal game, and even a punch in the guts.
2022-09-15 Luka Doncic was whining a lot. He would argue with the referees so much that he often was late to defense. He would stare them down, running up and down the court. It even seemed that in EuroBasket 2022, he shrugged his shoulders more often than he hit 3-pointers.
2022-09-14 When the buzzer sounded, and both teams headed to the locker rooms, it was Greece 61, Germany 57. That could have been your typical EuroBasket result some ten years ago,
except that this time it was the score at halftime. 2022-09-14 Head coach Lassi Tuovi was still a teenager when Shawn Huff made his national team debut. It was back in 2005, September and Finland was playing in EuroBasket, Division B. "We tried to qualify for a chance to qualify for the championship," Huff smiled when he recalled this story after his last national team game.
2022-09-13 After a huge win against Greece in EuroBasket 2022 quarterfinal, German national team head coach Gordon Herbert was in good spirits. During the press conference, the 63-year-old was asked if he would celebrate the victory with a glass of wine as he promised earlier. Herbert played along and cracked a joke, making the whole room laugh.
2022-09-12 It was already the greatest Round of 16 in EuroBasket history. All it needed to be legendary was a huge upset. That's where Nicolo Melli, Simone Fontecchio, Marco Spissu, and the rest of the Italian national team came to the rescue.
