EuroLeague is considering moving the 2027 F4 from Abu Dhabi and the most mentioned alternatives are Valencia, Kaunas and Belgrade, per sources

[Jonas Lekšas @JonasLeksas]

Love being in Athens during the F4. Without a doubt – the capital of European basketball. The culture, the food, the weather – everything is perfect for an event like this. Hope the basketball will be at least nearly as good as Athens. Enjoy

“Then Pippen said: ‘With you, Arvydas, I’d like to play once more.’ Scottie repeated this idea to Sabonis more than once. Pippen no longer planned to play in the NBA and there were talks with Sabas about crowning their entire careers together at Zalgiris” 👀

A crazy story of how Scottie Pippen almost ended up at Zalgiris in 2003
