Ricky Rubio impresses in debut for Minnesota Timberwolves

Well now, BallinEurope only waited for this for years – even though BiE never thought he’d see it from Minnesota. Last night saw Ricky Rubio’s debut for the Timberwolves in a preseason matchup versus the Milwaukee Bucks and, awesomely enough, contributed a couple of YouTube-worthy moments.

Ilyasova: I want to stay with Anadolu Efes; Real Madrid wants to keep Rudy

Greatest of all-time: Yugoslavia or Spain?

An interesting exchange of tweets went down last Friday (yes, minus points for untimeliness, but on another job BallinEurope thought deep into the matter all weekend) between HoopsHype/ESPN Deportes writer Jorge Sierra and Team Australia/Milwaukee Bucks big man Andrew Bogut. Things started innocuously enough, with Sierra plugging a Spanish-language piece he’d written for Deportes: “An […]

Enes Kanter at NBA Draft Combine: “Evet” to Cavs, Wolves, Wiz; “Yok” to Raps, Bucks, Jazz

As Enes Kanter’s standing rises on mock draft boards, so too is his self-confidence, it would seem. According to The Sporting News, not only does Kanter feel his game has improved despite having to sit out a season of organized ball – “I worked on my shot, on my face-up game and I think I […]

Nike Hoop Summit flashbacks: Dirk Nowitzki, Enes Kanter

In terms of performances from individual European players at the Nike Hoop Summit, two in the history of the annual game stand out from the rest: Those of Dirk Nowitzki in 1998 and Enes Kanter last year.

Iverson watch: Tough test in Fenerbahçe Ülker today, change of venue for Eurocup game Tuesday

So Allen Iverson acquitted himself reasonably (though nowhere near perfectly) well in his debut match for Beşiktaş Cola Turka; to riff on the old cliché, however, today is the first day in the rest of Mr. Answer’s European career. In Türkiye Basketbol Ligleri play today, A.I. and the Eagles today draw none other than defending […]

Marco Belinelli … for threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Just before halftime in Milwaukee, pride of Italy-in-New Orleans Marco Belinelli put in the NBA’s top play of the night – no really, it made the “ESPN Sports Center Top 10 Plays of the Night,” the sole basketball clip amid a squall of college (American) football madness – with his insane buzzer-beater against the Bucks […]
