Rudy gets iced, the internet rejoices
Rightly or wrongly, there are few European ballers who generate as much hatred as Rudy Fernandez. The Real Madrid and Spain star took the ALS ice bucket challenge, meaning he’s managed to do some good for charity and give something to all of those people who dislike them.

Final Four: Real blast Barca 100-62
Matching the hysterics, both on the court and amongst the fans, of the first game was always going to be a challenge for El Clasico. Even combined, the fanbases of Real and Barca were dwarfed by the now recovering Maccabi support. The Real support, situated mostly to the left of the upper press tribune, did […]
Pullen: Pascual has taught me a lot
Ballineurope’s Emmet Ryan caught up with Brad Oleseon, Erazem Lorbek, Jacob Pullen, and Joey Dorsey of FC Barcelona at Thursday’s Final Four practice. “They are a very dangerous team in transition.

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.
