The Bernucca List – Edition VI

by

It took reader Richard all of 15 minutes to find the common thread in last week’s Bernucca List, which was “active players wearing No. 23.” Nice job. We continue to believe we are making these difficult and continue to be impressed by our readers’ knowledge. So without further ado, here is this week’s list. If you think you know the answer, send me a Tweet or post it in the Comments section.

Mitnick Column: What NBA Players Learned In Europe

by

From FIBA-Europe

With 43 players currently under NBA contracts having suited up in Europe over the last three months, it has become apparent that the differences between NBA basketball and European basketball may be greater than many had thought beforehand. After almost the entire 2010 gold medal U.S. team at the World Championship went on to have career seasons after spending the summer playing in Europe, it appears that the European game has a number of things

Euroleague special report: Zalgaris Kaunas-Unicaja Malaga

by

By Dubi Pick If I were to challenge myself to guess who’s more frustrated about his current situation, recently fired Zalgiris Kaunas head coach Ilias Zouros, or the team’s point guard, Ty Lawson, I’d go with the latter. The Denver Nuggets’ exile blew off a lot of steam lately with a series of aggressive tweets, seemingly indicating he might be on his way home while bashing European basketball. A simple look at Lawson’s last four games clearly shows he hasn’t adjusted to

Gibson Column: Ranking NBAers in Euroleague Week 1

by

By Nick Gibson of EuroleagueAdventures.com BARCELONA — So you’ve played in the NBA before. That’s terrific. The thing is, nobody in Europe really cares. The fans might enjoy the novelty, but your teammates aren’t impressed, your coaches won’t tie you to a longer leash, and management has a loophole at the ready whenever they feel like voiding your deal, which is most likely the heftiest on the books. Being an NBA talent means just that: you’re talented. However, talent alone is not nearly enough to compete

Gibson Column: Euroleague ready to begin

by

By Nick Gibson of EuroleagueAdventures.com BARCELONA — With the NBA set to resume labor talks on Tuesday, only one thing’s for sure: there will be a Euroleague box score from Monday night for the sides to check out, if they so choose, in their respective caucus rooms. It will include the names Ty Lawson, Andrei Kirilenko, Sonny Weems, Nenad Krstic and DeJuan Collins. The Euroleague opens Monday night with CSKA Moscow playing Zalgiris Kaunas, and Wednesday there are four more contests before six on Thursday. On Friday, a little dessert: Bilbao vs. Olympiacos. Mmm…my

Gibson column: Euroleague Preview

by

By Nick Gibson of EuroleagueAdventures.com Kevin Durant doesn’t seem too keen on spending his lockout overseas. Dwight Howard says he has a soft spot for China, but that’s what Dwight Howard does: says things. And though self-proclaimed Europhile Kobe Bryant has entertained overtures from Italian and Turkish squads (Chinese, too), not even the Black Mamba has inked a deal that would keep him busy while the NBA plays its games in conference rooms instead of on basketball courts. So no, we haven’t seen
