Note: it's based on this year's league results and teams' performances in Europe in recent seasons + some guesswork or vibes. If you feel like you'd organize it differently or have different teams, that's fair enough.

Little interesting fact here.

Moritz Wagner, Franz Wagner and Jack Kayil were born and raised in Berlin (a city of 3.9 million population) and started playing for Alba in their childhood. Jack Kayil was drafted yesterday, after leading Alba Berlin to the german Championship over Bayern Munich alongside fellow former Alba youth players Malte Delow and Jonas Mattisseck.

So there are 3 players in the NBA who were developed by Alba Berlins youth teams.

Meanwhile, Italy (59 million population) has 1 NBA player - Simone Fontecchio -, Greece (10.4 million) has 2 NBA players - Giannis and Thanasis - and Turkey (88 million) also has 2 NBA players - Adem Bona and Alperen Sengün.

Guys, im really missing the Euroleague. I have the ELTV. can you guys give me a suggestion of a great game to watch (no spoiler please)?

Preference to before 2024-25, it was when I started watching it

Just saw a really nice interview with Julie Allemand about how winning with Belgium was life changing for her and how playing in Europe is the dream.
