Giannis Filéris wrote that, according to Equipe, the NBA's proposal to each of the 12 shareholders of the EuroLeague, with the exception of CSKA for now, amounted to 400 million dollars. He mentioned that the amount was accompanied by restrictive terms and targets, so it was not guaranteed, and that the plan also included four teams from the BCL. #NBA #EuroLeague #Basketball (translated)

Eternal wrote that the shareholders of the organization did not all have the same percentage and argued that whether there was an acquisition or expansion, Panathinaikos would receive more money than other teams. He also mentioned that Panathinaikos, Real Madrid, and Fenerbahçe had the largest percentages in the EuroLeague. #paobc https://t.co/174zTf98xA #Ευρωλίγκα #μπάσκετ #Ρεάλ (translated)

George Syrigos wrote that the EuroLeague unanimously rejected a proposal, although for days there were leaks suggesting that it would not even reach a vote in Como. He added that it became clear that at least four teams were constantly keeping an open line with the NBA. #Ευρωλίγκα #NBA #Καλάθι (translated)

Cceb1980 wrote that the NBA had set PAO and Real as its top priority. He added that the presidents of the two teams were absent from today’s meeting, as he claimed they knew they still determined the developments even in their absence. #paobc #ΝΒΑ #μπάσκετ #παναθηναϊκος (translated)

The Pointguard noted that, 3.4 seconds before the end of the third quarter and while #paobc was leading by 31 points, players from the team who had room for one more foul made a tactical foul to stop the opponent's offense. He added that the teams were preparing for the tough times by cultivating habits through repetition. #basketball #paobc #σειρές (translated)

Leo ☘️ said he liked the Americans who played in provincial teams, noting that they started basketball from a young age and dreamed of the draft, the NBA, the All-Star Games, and max contracts. He added that they should be prepared to get to know Ioannina. #μπάσκετ #NBA #Γιάννης (translated)

Pettax claimed, in an insulting tone, that everything had been "staged" and criticized the program of the last three matchdays, when, as he wrote, everything was at stake. He said that the team competing for the title had to face specific opponents, while its rival would play against the third and fourth in the standings. He added that the team had won yesterday and today and boasted about the 18 goals it had scored against teams from villages. https://t.co/m7gkQ29KSp #ποδόσφαιρο #πρωτάθλημα #αθλητισμός (translated)

WHAT I UNDERSTAND SEEING OLYMPIACOS IS THAT THEY THINK THAT THEY WILL WIN EVERYWHERE JUST BECAUSE OF THEIR TALENT THAT THEY DON'T NEED TO PLAY DEFENSE THAT THE MATCH WILL GO TO THE END AND WE WILL TAKE IT THESE DEFEATS ARE EDUCATIONAL FOR THE MENTALITY BARTZOKAS' TEAMS ALWAYS PLAY STRONG DEFENSE SO I'M NOT WORRIED #olympiacosbc #paobc #olympiacosbc #paobc #basketball #ΕλληνικόΜπάσκετ #Ολυμπιακός (translated)

We could discuss the refereeing extensively, but that's for dwarf teams. Reorganization, rest, and work. The rebound problem will largely be solved with the return of Milos, but defensive communications take time. #olympiacosbc #μπάσκετ #ολυμπιακός #διαιτησία (translated)

📌 Personal Update: Return to the EuroLeague Academy - This time as an instructor📌 A few years ago, I timidly made the decision to leave behind my job as a researcher in the field of Artificial Intelligence in Health, as well as my academic path as a PhD candidate, to try my luck in a new and very difficult world: combining my love for basketball, its analysis, and scouting with the use of analytics in it. My first stop when I made this decision was the EuroLeague Coaching Academy. Today, a few years later, I am really happy to announce that I am returning to the Academy, this time from a completely different role, as an instructor in the Advanced Analytics Module. More details about the courses I will be teaching will be announced soon. Despite the many hours I have spent so far in academic classrooms, this is certainly the most beautiful and significant teaching challenge I have taken on. It is truly a great honor to receive this offer, and to be honest, I needed about zero seconds to say “yes.” 😅 What makes this moment even more special for me is seeing the cutting-edge work we build every day at Shot Clock on Advanced Basketball Analytics & Scouting starting to find its place at the highest level with the teams we collaborate with and of course now at one of the most important levels of European basketball and the largest coaching academy in the world. From a student of the Academy, back to the same Academy as an instructor. A circle that a few years ago I certainly could not have imagined. 🙏🏀 More coming soon. 👀 #BasketballAnalytics #EuroLeague #Basketball #AdvancedAnalytics #SportsAnalytics #BasketballScouting #Coaching #ShotClock #BasketballAnalytics #EuroLeague #Basketball #AdvancedAnalytics #SportsAnalytics #BasketballScouting #Coaching #ShotClock #EuroLeague #Basketball #AdvancedAnalytics (translated)

The EuroLeague this year is ridiculous. And I'm not saying that to diminish yesterday's victory of PAO. The difference in strength is huge now. There are 5-6 good teams and then chaos. Supposedly some rules were introduced to make the league more competitive. I don't know if all this is related to the NBA. Anyway, the league this year won't be interesting. PAO, without half the team, is joking around with the third team against Asvel. Olympiakos easily beats Baskonia away. So why would you sit down to watch a match like yesterday's?? #olympiacobc #paobc #Euroleague #basketball #ΠΑΟ (translated)

🔴Stefanos Sarafis: "Commander of ELAS, by spitting." 🔴As I have emphasized many times, immediately after the German attack against the USSR, Stalin instructed the communist parties of the occupied countries to organize guerrilla warfare, primarily to harass the Germans, forcing them to maintain strong military forces in these countries, which, otherwise, would have been transferred to the eastern front. 🔴In Greece, a secondary objective of EAM - ELAS was to monopolize the guerrilla movement, to be the only armed force in the country after liberation, and to seize power by force. For this reason, according to G. Papandreou, the tactic was as follows: "It does not allow anyone else to rise to the mountains and fight the occupier. It punishes with death the Greeks who fulfill their patriotic duty. A former example is the present colonel Sarafis..." 🔴So, let's talk about Colonel Sarafis, who was made head of ELAS. He was born in 1890 in Trikala, graduated from the Non-Commissioned Officers School and became a second lieutenant in 1913. He sided with the Venizelists and actively participated in the failed military movements of 1933 and 1935. 🔴During the occupation and after discussions with various individuals about creating a resistance organization, a five-member committee was formed (Sarafis, Grigoriadis, Panopoulos, Chatzimpeis and Simos Vlachos), which evolved into the AAA Organization (3A, Struggle – Restoration – Independence). With the approval of the others, Sarafis went to Thessaly to form a guerrilla unit. 🔴After contacts he made there, he moved to Epirus, where on February 7, 1943, he met with Zervas and the representative of the Middle East Command, Colonel Eddie Myers, and they agreed to form guerrilla groups, with three sections: Epirus, led by Zervas; Thessaly, led by Sarafis; and Roumeli, led by Psarros. 🔴As soon as the news spread in Thessaly, EAM considered that with Sarafis’s reputation in the area, he could become a very dangerous opponent. Thus, initially, the mechanism of his moral extermination was put into operation, with the accusations that he was "a collaborator of the Italians" and "a man of the occupied prefect of Trikala." After the slanders did not succeed, EAM decided to take more drastic measures. 🔴After a trap, they treacherously captured him and other armed leaders, as well as 150 guerrillas who followed them. Ultimately, EAM decided that it would be preferable to force him to join ELAS rather than kill him. So, they locked him in a dungeon, and following orders, ELAS guerrillas would pass in front of him, spit on him and label him a "traitor," to break his spirits. 🔴When faced with the dilemma of "ELAS or the grave," Sarafis preferred to save his life. Of course, the communists exploited his joining to convince other former officers who hesitated to join ELAS due to the bad reputation that accompanied him. Of course, the position they gave him, that of the military leader of ELAS, was more "decorative," as decisions were made by the "chief captain" Aris Velouchiotis and the political commissioner Andreas Tzimas. 🔴The results of recruiting officers were mediocre because it had become known how Sarafis was forced to join ELAS. It is historically recorded, the phrase of politician Georgios Kartalis to Sarafis: "You were made commander of ELAS by spitting." 🔴What would have been Sarafis's fate if the KKE had prevailed? There is no doubt that he would have met the same fate as all the "fellow travelers" of the communists around the world. In the first "cleansing," he would be labeled a "agent" and "enemy of the people" and would be taken to the firing squad! Specifically, Sarafis would certainly be labeled an "agent of the Intelligence Service," as he had married British archaeologist Marion Pascoe. 🔴The comments are yours! #Σαράφης #ΕΛΑΣ #Κατοχή (translated)

Zalgiris, in the absence of its main creator and best perimeter player Nigel Goss, would rely heavily on Jonas Valanciunas from the start. Coach Bartzokas (in something he has done many times in the past) went for multiple help defenses in post-up situations when the Lithuanian superstar received the ball, setting the tone that he didn’t want any shots taken from there. Valanciunas' quality, in the absence of a creator, was enough to keep Zalgiris in the game: in a match decided by a single point, Valanciunas dominated, finishing with +13 (something we leverage, as the difference with him on the court was glaring), creating 7 assists, 5 potential assists, and 4 passes to assists (!). This is one of those times when the public discussion is not exactly right: yes, you don't play drop against Fournier. But for Zalgiris, to be within a point against elite teams, Valanciunas' presence on the court is a necessary and sufficient condition - because his quality and impact cannot be matched. So we have two situations: A correct tactical choice on one side (not executing Valanciunas in the post, shifting Zalgiris’ offense to long-range shots or close-outs). And on the other hand, the opponent's quality to find a solution to this correct tactical choice and be well within the game. Great things again this year in the Euroleague! Tomorrow our analysis, along with today’s matches and of course the game of PAO! #Ζάλγκιρις #Valanciunas #Ευρωλίγκα (translated)

"Teams have lost championships..." "The epic of 2004 is considered by many to be coincidental because players who were devalued in Greece became European champions, remaining titleless...

«Τα διαφυγόντα κέρδη όσον αφορά το παρελθόν είναι αδιανόητα.
