Big team effort and a result we’re proud of. Thanks to everyone who supported us along the way.
Made even better with family in the stands.

A wonderful season come to an end but couldn’t be prouder of the players and staff on what we’ve achieved 🚀

[Prophe(s)y. | @Prophesy_Scout]

🇬🇧 British 6'4" Swing Nektarios Papadopoulos (2006/COB Rockets) had an effective 12 points in the 2nd-tier of Greece against leaders Lefkadas. Still acclimatising to the pros (5th game above 10 mins all season), but his energy/activity defensively has been a real positive.

[Coach Afonso @CoachAfonso]

@Prophesy_Scout @TheBlindPigPod Are any BCB players that could be in this list?

[Hoopsfix @Hoopsfix]

.@cobrockets claim the first @BritChampBball Trophy title with an 85-66 win over Yorkshire in the final. 🏆 🚀

Talk about a layup of an assignment

En París no piensan renunciar a la idea que les ha llevado a la Euroliga. Julius Thomas, anteriormente asistente de Iisalo y Splitter, releva como interino a Tabellini

Tiene 28 AÑOS (1997) y aunque es un equipo joven, dirigirá a algunos jugadores mayores que él (M'Baye tiene 36)

Lo siento, defiendo a los entrenadores, todos, sobre todo a los que tienen plan identificable, yo soy entrenador aficionado.

Entrenadores con sistema, experiencia, Plaza, Ibon, Casimiro, maestros de entrenadores…

Ver um português na NBA era um sonho. Saber que ele já foi campeão e é titular numa das equipas mais históricas da liga... parece mentira. E imaginar que ele faria um jogão assim e em apenas 26 minutos?! Nunca me tinha passado pela cabeça. Obrigado @nemi1599

[Robert J Palmer @RocketsCEO]
