The king of PSG’s midfield. The only one of PSG’s starting midfield 3 to last 120 minutes. And in extra-time, he was actually PSG’s best attacking threat. Technical feet, physical in duels, legs to get up & down & high level IQ defensive play/passing decisions. João Neves 👏👏👏
Ça veut dire qu’on va rejouer une finale de Supercoupe d’Europe et une nouvelle finale Intercontinentale parce qu’on a encore gagné la Ligue des champions. Quelle vie. Quel club.
Man, the NBA or nothing crowd should really rethink their life choices.
The EuroLeague Final Four was pure cinema, and the storylines? Absolutely mental.
Let’s talk about Evan Fournier.
Just a minute ago, Fournier was trapped in Thibs' doghouse in New York, getting DNP-CDs until he finally got shipped to Detroit and averaged a quiet 7 points.
American fans thought he was washed.
Fast forward to yesterday: the man just dropped a cold 20-piece on Real Madrid Basket, led Olympiacos B.C. to their first chip in 13 years, and walked away with the EuroLeague Final Four MVP.
Going from the end of an NBA bench to the absolute apex of European basketball?
An all-time legendary redemption arc that deserves absolute respect. ✊
The top 3 scorers from the single win-or-bust Finals game might also ring some bells:
����Trey Lyles (Real Madrid): Game-high 24 points.
🔸Evan Fournier (Olympiacos): 20 points, 5 boards, 4 assists, and the MVP.
🔸Mario Hezonja (Real Madrid): Kept Madrid alive with 19 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals.
And shoutout to Frank Ntilikina, who is officially a EuroLeague Champion now too.
He didn't pan out the way New York Knicks fans hoped back in the day, but watching him and Fournier pop bottles together after winning at the highest level overseas is just dope to see.
There are only 450 spots in the NBA, but don't get it twisted. There is world-class hoop being played across the ocean.
Salute to Fournier and Olympiacos. Crazy run.
Tellement content pour Evan ! 🥰🥰
L'aventure NBA s'était terminée difficilement pour Fournier, il avait choisi de rentrer en Europe pour relancer sa carrière, vivre ce genre d'émotions et gagner des titres.
Aujourd'hui, il est champion d'Europe et MVP du Final Four. 🔥🇫🇷

Le bruit du stade, l’émotion des commentateurs, l’accent écossais : c’est tout ce qu’on aime
