"Things have to be put into context. When I received my first dismissal as a coach a little over a year ago, it was hard to imagine that I would be here tonight. Life changes a lot. And it's not a cliché, it's a reality."

Recommended  2023-02-21 The eternal Belgrade derby between Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade and Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade always delivers colorful stories both on and off the court, but this time it seemed like the stories would never end. It was my third derby experience in two months, and it was partially the same as the last two times in the EuroLeague this season but completely different at the same time.
 2023-02-20 If Germani Brescia shocked everyone in Turin, what Unicaja Malaga did in Badalona was a fairytale. The Andalusian club made history, becoming the first team to beat FC Barcelona and Real Madrid in the same Copa del Rey since 1953. They were also the first to defeat two powerhouses in the same tournament since the ACB era began (1983).
 2023-02-20 Only a week ago, if you predicted Germani Brescia as the most likely winner of the Italian Cup, you probably would have been told to rest a little bit. The Italian EuroCup team arrived in Turin with many doubts surrounding the team. Brescia lost six games in a row in the Italian league and was in 12th position with a 7-12 record.
 2023-02-19 Sylvain Francisco has been an undersized perimeter threat for every team facing Peristeri Athens this season. The French point guard crossed his country's borders last season when he made a splash with BAXI Manresa in Spain, reaching the Basketball Champions League title game against Lenovo Tenerife.
 2023-02-19 A few moments after Olympiacos Piraeus downed Panathinaikos Athens 81-65 to seal their pass to the Greek Cup final, where they will be taking on Peristeri Athens, Tarik Black paid a visit to the mixed zone where the media had been expecting him.
 2023-02-19 Moments before the NBA All-Star media availability, Dallas Mavericks' star Luka Doncic learned that his former team, Real Madrid, had surprisingly been eliminated from the Copa del Rey tournament. "Yes, I know, I know..." he acknowledged in Salt Lake City, referring to Madrid's loss to Unicaja.
 2023-02-19 Despite his busy schedule during the NBA All-Star weekend, Nikola Jokic took some time to catch the Belgrad derby in the Serbian Cup semifinal between Partizan and Red Star. As he told BasketNews in Salt Lake City, he only managed to witness the final quarter of the Eternal derby, which he wasn't particularly thrilled with.
 2023-02-19 "Coach Giannis" is becoming a thing at the NBA all-star weekend. After showcasing his coaching skills in the Celebrity Game, Giannis Antetokounmpo continued playing this role in the Skills Challenge. Giannis was forced to withdraw from the Skills Challenge due to a wrist injury, but he embraced his role as a source of inspiration for his fellow players from the sidelines.
 2023-02-19 NBA commissioner Adam Silver suggests that EuroLeague or other teams outside the league could play official games against the best teams in the world. This could potentially be part of an in-season tournament that the NBA is currently considering implementing.
 2023-02-18 Despite being 54 years old, Gary Payton's energy at the NBA Cares event was a force to be reckoned with, elevating an already energetic atmosphere to new heights.
 2023-02-18 When Carlos Boozer heard the name Zydrunas Ilgauskas, his face lit up with a huge smile. Ilgauskas is widely regarded as one of the best Lithuanian players ever, and European basketball holds a special place in Boozer's heart. Even if it included bringing coffee to Ilgauskas every morning during his rookie year in 2002-03.
 2023-02-18 Sasha Vezenkov is in Crete these days, where the Greek Cup Final 8 is being held and his team, Olympiacos Piraeus, are widely considered the big favorite for a back-to-back trophy.
 2023-02-17 Kyle Guy and Henry Ellenson had always followed similar paths in their careers. However, their trajectories had always been separate until the two of them were united last summer at Joventut Badalona.
 2023-02-16 Sometimes you need to receive a slap in your face before you can wake up and realize you need to do things differently. It's probably the type of wake-up call Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade went through in the last couple of months.
 2023-02-14 In most cases, the very first matchup between the projected first and second pick in the NBA Draft is supposed to happen when both are already playing in the league. However, that's not the case with Victor Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson, widely considered the two frontrunners for the top two spots in the 2023 draft.
 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.
 2023-02-13 Jared Harper is one of those cases of American imports that come to Europe and fall in love with the way the game is played in the Old Continent. So much so that in their eyes, the NBA, a realm some of them know too well, lacks some things Europeans tend to take for granted. "I really didn't expect to see everyone play every single possession so hard," the American guard tells BasketNews.
 2023-02-13 All around Europe, it's a time for a little break in the domestic leagues, which will be filled by the local cups, and Copa del Rey Basketball, or simply the Spanish Basketball Cup, is no exception.
 2023-02-13 All around Europe, it's time for a little break in the domestic leagues, which will be filled by the local cups, and the Greek Cup is no exception. In just a few days, teams will fight for the first domestic title of the season. The tension and the excitement that the domestic cups generate are something that can't usually be found during the regular season of the local leagues.
 2023-02-11 Friday's game wasn't the usual sold-out night at Zalgirio arena. Plenty of blue color, some rarely seen flags, and a language you don't hear every day. Up to 2,000 Estonians made a trip to Lithuania as Zalgiris Kaunas hosted Cazoo Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz, while all the hotels in Kaunas were fully booked.
 2023-02-09 Menora Mivtachim Arena is the most challenging place to play this season – that's according to Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv's home record. They have lost there only once in 10 games, beating the likes of Olympiakos, Anadolu Efes, and AS Monaco.
 2023-02-09 Typically, being one of the top players in the EuroLeague secures a spot on a European national team. But for Mathias Lessort, the star of Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade, it's not that simple. Despite his dominant season and MVP candidacy, Lessort is facing a challenge in getting a place on the talented French national team under coach Vincent Collet.
 2023-02-08 International basketball star Pau Gasol ranked his top 3 favorites to win the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023. "I think you have to be with a champion, which is Spain," Gasol smiled in an interview with BasketNews. "Which also happens to be the No. 1 in FIBA rankings."
 2023-02-08 Team USA is widely regarded as the most powerful basketball nation on the planet. Despite winning only three out of seven FIBA World Cup competitions in the last 29 years, they remain the team that all others strive to defeat. What if international basketball brought its top stars together for the upcoming FIBA World Cup to challenge Team USA?
 2023-02-07 Out of sight, out of mind. It's a proverb that can easily apply to situations when a player stays off the A-List for so long that top teams almost forget about his existence.
 2023-02-07 Every energy drink or coffee company should seriously consider him as the ambassador for their brand. One of the most outstanding players of the 2022-23 EuroLeague season, Matthias Lessort, makes the playoff race and upcoming free agency very exciting.
 2023-02-06 Since the departure of Jalen Brunson this summer, the Dallas Mavericks have been looking for opportunities to add another backcourt creator next to Luka Doncic. Only last season, with the partnership between Brunson and Doncic, the Mavericks were able to reach the Western Conference finals in the first season under the new management.
 2023-02-03 Achille Polonara's basketball career could - quite superficially - be viewed as a typical rags-to-riches story. He went all the distance from being a solid EuroCup, BCL, and even FIBA Europe Cup player to being considered a key piece at European powerhouses.
 2023-02-03 Zeljko Obradovic sat on the sidelines with Tristan Vukcevic at the end of the practice in Zalgirio Arena. It's an everyday routine for the coach. He likes to take time to talk with the team and keep their focus on what's ahead.
