Ramunas Siskauskas 57

You decide: Who should be the new BallinEurope logo? Should “Pau” be retired?

Sooner or later, it had to happen.

Who’s to blame? Another look at *that* final Panathinaikos play

BallinEurope bets that Dimitris Diamantidis didn’t sleep too well last night. In handling the ball of the final play in Panathinaikos’ 66-64 Euroleague Final Four loss to CSKA Moscow yesterday, former MVP DD was stifled by the Red Army defense and poor PAO fans could only watch time run out on the Greens’ back-to-back title […]

Currently under (slight) renovation: BallinEurope.com

BallinEurope is changing – but only slightly. After a long period of static design and linkage, BiE finally managed to find some time to add a few tweaks that will hopefully augment the whole reader-experience, social-networking thing.

Surprise (not)!: Andrei Kirilenko named EL MVP for October; yes, there will be highlights

As a sportswriter in 2011, it’s getting ever less bizarre to type the words “Andrei Kirilenko of CSKA Moscow” all the time; certainly this team’s fans want the NBA lockout never to end as AK-47 is leading an impressively outfitted Red Army through early Euroleague and PBL dominance. Kirilenko was rewarded for his individual brilliance […]
