After the whole of Europe started to discuss Hereda San Pablo Burgos president's kneeling demand to their players, guard Alex Renfroe gave his statement about the situation on social media.

"So… I've been seeing the reports and all the comments about what happened yesterday after the game," Renfroe tweeted. "Let me give some insight since people are giving opinions and may or may not know what they are talking about."

Renfroe said, that it is the tradition of the club to kneel on the court, bang on the court, and chant with their fans after the wins.

"This is my 2nd year here in Burgos. Our tradition here after we win games is to kneel on the court and bang on the court and do a chant with our fans," he added.

According to the American guard, this tradition is the way to thank the best fans in ACB and probably in the whole Europe.

"We do this after every win," Renfroe continued. "Also clapping to all of our fans. Because we really have the best fans in the ACB and 1 of the best in Europe. And they are packed in our gym every game."

"No matter where we are in the standings (Clearly). This is our way to thank them for the support," the American guard explained.

As it became known, the president of Hereda San Pablo Burgos, Felix Sancho, asked the players of the team to kneel after being relegated to the second division of Spain, something that provoked a few reactions.

One of them came from Mike James, who took a position through social media and criticized the decision of the president of Burgos.

"Yea, I'm not kneeling for none of that s**t," James tweeted. "I woulda walked to the back on bro and took my shower."

The meeting between Hereda San Pablo Burgos and Urbas Fuenlabrada had just ended at the Coliseum. The team from Madrid had prevailed by 83-66, ratifying its presence in the Liga Endesa for one more season and, in turn, forced Burgos to the LEB Oro, the country's second division. 

Burgos stayed in the ACB for five seasons, during which they also won two Basketball Champions League trophies in 2020 and 2021. 

However, when everything was over, the stage didn't belong to the players or to the team's fans but to the club's president, Felix Sancho, who had taken the court before the final buzzer.

As if the moment wasn't intense enough, with fans crying and being devasted about their team's fall from grace, Sancho surprised everyone by kneeling down and forcing Burgos players to do the same as a sign of apology to the fans. 

The players, oscillating between the surprised and the bewildered, could hardly believe their eyes, but they still complied with Sancho's order and bent down for almost a minute. 

The incident provoked rather unflattering comments on social media, with some fans calling it a disgrace.

Saturday marked the final day of the regular season of the Spanish ACB League, currently known as Liga Endesa.

After holding talks of quietly making the EuroLeague just several weeks ago, the EuroCup sensation MoraBanc Andorra has been relegated from the competition. The team lost the final game of the regular season against Lenovo Tenerife 75-77 (19-24, 9-17, 25-17, 22-19).

Although Andorra trailed during the entirety of the game, the hope was still alive in the 4th quarter when the teams were tied at 75 with just 3.3 seconds to go, but then Giorgi Shermadini hit a floated with just 0.6 seconds to go to ultimately send the EuroCup's cinderella to the lower league.

Shermadini was the tied-top-scorer in the Basketball Champions League winners club, scoring 14 points and grabbing 4 rebounds for 18 PIR, while Sasu Salin also provided 14 points in the contest.
