A Dario triple-double? Now that’s good timing
March Madness ended on Monday. On Tuesday Dario Saric, having just signed a new agent, delivered a triple-double with perfect timing to get the attention of NBA scouts. His 20 points, 13 board, and 10 assists in Cibona’s 96-70 Croatian Cup semi-final win over KK Zagreb. Super Dario certainly knows when to pick his moment.
Swee’ Pea needs your help
The Legend of Swee’ Pea- extended trailer from Benjamin May on Vimeo. A couple of weeks back we told you about a great Kickstarter looking for support in developing a documentary on Lloyd “Swee’ Pea” Daniels, a player who spent a couple of seasons in Europe having risen from playground legend to the NBA with […]
The greatest Eurodance tribute to Goran Dragic ever
Also, admittedly, possibly the only Eurodance tribute to Goran Dragic ever. It’s so good we briefly considered forgiving Lipko, then we remembered that we hate Lipko.
Help Swee’ Pea make the big screen
In this gig I get a lot of unsolicited email. Most of it is nice and a huge chunk of it is begging for coverage. I tend to say no a lot because I’m not in the interest of spamming my readers. Every now and again, one of those unexpected mails is worth following up. […]
The Dish: Can I play with Madness?
It may be March Madness across the Atlantic but Euroleague served up plenty of insanity this week as the races for the final playoff spots entered crazy territory. Emmet Ryan breaks it all down. The story of this week should have been the return of Zeljko Obradovic to the OAKA and, in fairness, it was […]
Excessive reaction follows excessive reaction in Finland
The video below has been doing the rounds and no-one comes out looking good. Shanel Harrison was so in the wrong here, no argument from this corner. She was clearly angered by a hard screen up the other end that, upon close inspection of the video, looks like it could have been a body check. […]
The Dish: Let’s keep this brief
It was another big week in the Top 16 of Euroleague, the Greek stars narrowly won their own All Star game, and Killester claimed the title in Ireland. My keyboard is acting up and I hate writing on a touchscreen so this won’t be too long. Is that breathing room I see in Milan? The […]
Even inaction is political for FIBA in Ukraine
The last thing on most people’s minds when it comes to the crisis in Crimea is basketball. FIBA Europe don’t have that luxury. Emmet Ryan says that whatever call FIBA makes on EuroBasket 2015, they will suffer for it. The road to EuroBasket 2015 had been rocky enough already before last weekend. The Crimea crisis […]
Shaqtin a fool…Irish style
UCD Marian beat DCU Saints in the Irish Men’s Premier League on Saturday night but their victory wasn’t without its faults and the best were put together in this sweet compilation set to the stytle of the NBA on TNT’s Shaqtin’ a Fool segment. And because it seems Marian’s fans really like to play with […]
The Dish: Ohhh Alex Abrines
After a week off due to Cup Week, the Dish returns with a packed sched. From the Hall of Fame to the Rising Stars and a big slate of Euroleague action, it’s been a busy week in European hoops but I’ve got one question: What about Rudy? The most hated man in European basketball may […]
EURO-NBA: Tony Parker leads Europe’s All Star troupe
With three Europeans selected for this Sunday’s NBA All Star game, BiE pays tribute to Joakim Noah, Dirk Nowitzki, and Tony Parker. It was hardly a shock when no Europeans got selected for the starting line-ups of this year’s NBA All Star game but with three players from the continent making the reserves, including two […]
EURO-NBA: Europe is on Team Hill
With all three Europeans in Friday’s NBA Rising Stars game being selected by Grant Hill for his team to go up against Chris Webber’s selection, BiE pays tribute to Giannis Antetokounmpo, Pero Antic, and Jonas Valanciunas. No need to divide your loyalties this Friday night. If you are European and watching the NBA Rising Stars […]
