Valencia Basket v Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul (2023-10-13T18:30:00.000Z)

Round 1 concluded with four thrillers that lived up to any preseason hype and put a "can't-miss" tag on all EuroLeague action going forward.

A thrilling first Friday proved we can believe the hype

Well, that didn't take long at all, did it?

With slam-dunk fierceness, the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague first week briskly confirmed all the preceding anticipation and hype.

Electricity crackled across Europe as almost 100,000 fans packed arenas from Istanbul to Belgrade, Tel Aviv, Munich, Valencia and more.

If opening night on Thursday seemed destined to be dominated by home teams, Zalgiris Kaunas corrected that notion with not one, but two comebacks from 15-point deficits to leave Virtus Segafredo Bologna fans crushed.

That quickly, we were reminded that anything happen – and usually does – on EuroLeague game nights.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">🇱🇹 Zalgiris Kaunas is the first team ever in the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/EuroLeague?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#EuroLeague</a> history to come back from 15 point deficit twice in a game (from 2007):<br><br>Q2 02:34: 🇮🇹 40-25 🇱🇹<br>Q3 07:55: 🇮🇹 44-44 🇱🇹<br>Q3 02:21: 🇮🇹 63-48 🇱🇹<br>Q4 03:47: 🇮🇹 73-73 🇱🇹<br>Final score: 🇮🇹 79-82 🇱🇹</p>&mdash; Darius Garuolis (@DariusGaruolis) <a href="https://twitter.com/DariusGaruolis/status/1710287948120248776?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 6, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> 

Another Thursday highlight was two-time champ Pablo Laso returning to the bench with FC Bayern Munich to win the German derby by tying a EuroLeague record for the biggest difference on the boards, out-rebounding ALBA Berlin by 49 to 17!

But if Thursday lit the spark, the first Friday blew the roof off this new season. Total unpredictability, the essence of sports drama, was the order of the evening. Consider that:

• At one point, all four Friday games had second-half scoreboard gaps of 4 or fewer points simultaneously.

• Shots in the air over the fourth-quarter buzzer would have change the winners of three games had they fallen. Alas, all missed.

• Two of those three games went to overtime, the most in an opening round since 2000.

• The fourth game saw a Final Four team from last season suffer the season's first upset.

The first overtime came in Istanbul where former MVP Nikola Mirotic poured in a round-high 27 points for his new team, EA7 Emporio Armani Milan, but couldn't prevent[ Fenerbahce Beko from winning 85-82 in OT](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2023-24/fenerbahce-beko-istanbul-ea7-emporio-armani-milan/E2023/6/) before its thankful fans. His three-point try to force a second-overtime missed.

The drama reached literary proportions as almost 18,000 Panathinaikos Athens fans held their collective breath for the final shot of regulation time, a potential game-winner from their new hero, Kostas Sloukas, who had the same shot to win the title last spring for their archrival and opponent on Friday, Olympiacos Piraeus. Neither shot fell, however, and in this case [Olympiacos ruled in overtime to win 78-88](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2023-24/panathinaikos-athens-olympiacos-piraeus/E2023/7/).

The beneficiary of Sloukas's miss last spring, current champion Real Madrid, battled its domestic nemesis Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz all night before stealing away with [a two-point road victory, 77-79,](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2023-24/baskonia-vitoria-gasteiz-real-madrid/E2023/8/) despite missing tower of power Walter Tavares for the opener. Markus Howard's good look on the buzzer did not drop, to the chagrin of 14,000-plus fans in Buesa Arena.

Fans lived every emotion on Friday of Round 1

And before Friday could finish, [Valencia Basket threw its hat in the ring by defeating AS Monaco 70-65](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2023-24/valencia-basket-as-monaco/E2023/9/) by relying on a cast of newcomers until Chris Jones took over in the fourth quarter to make sure.

Altogether on Friday, there were 29 ties and 40 lead changes over four games spanning less than four hours, and none of the eight teams team all night held more than a 10-point lead during regulation time.

You would say that the fans were on the edge of their seats but, of course, this is the EuroLeague. Most of them were on their feet for most of the night and you could hardly blame them. It was a thrilling start to a season that promises to reach new heights of basketball competitiveness. Believe the hype.

Round 1 concluded with four thrillers that lived up to any preseason hype and put a "can't-miss" tag on all EuroLeague action going forward.

\[DE\] In 2017, Vasilije Micic was playing in Turkey when the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Final Four was played in Istanbul. He bought tickets to sit in the last row at the top of Sinan Erdem Dome for the semifinals and couldn't get tickets for the championship game! So much has changed since then. Today, Micic is on top of the basketball world after leading Anadolu Efes Istanbul to EuroLeague glory for the first time in a season that saw him capture both the EuroLeague MVP and Final Four MVP trophies, too.

With his triumphant season now in the rear-view mirror, Micic sat down for a lengthy chat with his new friend, The Crossover host Joe Arlauckas. Though their conversation covered all of Micic's career, it focused more heavily on the last five years during which Micic has risen to basketball stardom.

Early on, Micic showed that he is not your average athlete. He grew up as a skier and his sister was an Olympic snowboarder.

"I still believe that I am a better skier than a basketball player. This is something that my father thinks, too," Micic said. "This is my first love. Basketball is actually second.

"I grew up in the mountains, the most famous mountains in Serbia, and the logical thing was actually to start to ski," he went on. "For six months a year, we had snow and there was nothing else to do. And if you have some talent and work ethic, you achieve good things."

The strength and athleticism he gained on the slopes paid dividends when Micic began to play basketball. He was seen as one of the best prospects in Europe after leading Serbia to a silver medal at the 2013 U19 world championships, but passed through several seasons with different teams in different countries before Micic took a major step forward.

Micic also went through some tough times off the court with the passing of his mother. All of his emotions came out when Euroleague Basketball surprised Micic with a video to announce his selection as MVP for the 2020-21 season. The video included clips congratulating him from his sister and father.

"I was also really touched emotionally by that video," Micic said. "That was one of the most special moments for my career, in my life, because when you don’t expect things, things are prettier. When you don’t chase them and they happen, you really feel pure happiness…

"Two years ago I lost my mother and that's something that is a big miss for us. But for the four of us, before we lost her, she was our base for everything. We always built from that… Like every mother, she was one of the strongest people in our lives and all these words that Nina said and my father, touched me so much because I felt it through my whole body and all these memories went through my mind because I really had a lot of situations where many people from my country, many fans didn't believe I could achieve this."

As Arlauckas and Micic started to trace his path to basketball greatness, it became clear that the 2016-17 season in Turkey with Tofas Bursa was a major turning point.

"Maybe the most important [step] for me was Tofas Bura in Turkey. That experience for me meant so much, privately and professionally, because I met one of the most important persons and a best friend in my life, Coach Orhun Ene. He is currently the head coach of the national team of Turkey. He gave me a chance," Micic explained. "I put all my past to the side when I signed there and I started to build my style of basketball that I play now. I started to shoot the ball; he pushed me to shoot the ball. He forced me to be more of a scorer."

After a strong season with Tofas, Micic felt ready to return to the EuroLeague. He could have stayed with Tofas and played in the 7DAYS EuroCup and had multiple offers in the EuroLeague, but settled on Zalgiris Kaunas, where another coach would help mold his game and push Micic to the highest level.

"For me, it was only important to improve my game and to be on the court at a higher level. It really happened like that," he said of his decision to sign for Zalgiris. "It wasn't an easy year for me because Saras is a very, very demanding coach. I always like to say as a comparison, that year was like I had played five-six years at a EuroLeague level. Because the way Saras teaches players, the way he treats players on the court with the details, paying attention, especially for a point guard, was an amazing experience that I use so much since."

Many raised eyebrows when after helping Zalgiris reach the Final Four, Micic signed for an Efes team that had been last in the league the season before. Especially because his initial role was to be Shane Larkin's backup. But Micic likened it to Sarunas Jasikevicius's decision to leave FC Barcelona in 2003 to test himself with Maccabi Tel Aviv. And it worked out perfectly.

In his three seasons with Efes, Micic and the club reached new heights, culminating in the 2021 EuroLeague championship. Micic tried to describe what it felt like to climb the mountain top and celebrate as a champion.

"The best proof of your achievement is when your friends and your family say 'bravo' or 'congrats' and your teammates... you cannot lie to them for such a long period. When my teammates hugged me and they said to me, ‘Thank you', to me and Shane the most, I don’t want to divide anybody, but really, I never felt that before, that my teammates came to me and said thank you. And that's enough to describe how good a feeling it is to win the title," Micic revealed.

With a one-hour format of exclusive one-on-one interviews, The Crossover with Joe Arlauckas goes well beyond the playing court with each podcast to delve into the life experiences that have made his guests protagonists and legends of the EuroLeague. The Crossover debuted in 2018 and has featured such current stars as Toko Shengelia, Shane Larkin and Kyle Hines, coaching greats such as Ettore Messina, Pablo Laso and Zeljko Obradovic, and legends like Theo Papaloukas, Nikola Vujcic and Mike Batiste, among others.

The guests in Season 3 have includedFC Bayern Munich Coach Andrea Trinchieri, Zalgiris Kaunas star Marius Grigonis, Kostas Papanikolaou of Olympiacos Piraeus and CSKA Moscow assistant coach Darryl Middleton, Kevin Pangos of Zenit St Petersburg and Norris Cole of LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne.

\[DE\] With a heavy heart, Euroleague Basketball joins the world basketball family in mourning Dusan "Duda" Ivkovic, the two-time EuroLeague champion and dean of the coaching profession, who died in his hometown of Belgrade, Serbia, on Thursday, six weeks before his 78th birthday.

After following his late older brother Slobodan into coaching at age 25 in 1968, Mr. Ivkovic served at the head of benches around Europe in different five decades from 1978 to 2017. He coached at 12 pro clubs in his native Serbia, Croatia, Greece, Russia and Turkey, as well as leading the Yugoslav and Serbian national teams in three different decades. His impact on the sport and his status among his fellow coaches was such that he served as president of the World Association of Basketball Coaches in the mid-2000s.

"We at Euroleague Basketball are beyond sad to know that a close friend and a true giant of our sport, Duda Ivkovic, has left us too soon," Jordi Bertomeu, Euroleague Basketball CEO, said. "It is no exaggeration to say that Duda impacted European basketball as much as any coach ever, growing up in one of the cradles of the sport, Belgrade, and taking many teams to the heights of success. Even more than his accomplishments, however, Duda will be remembered as a true leader to his thousands of players and to generations of coaches. Basketball has lost one of its pioneers, but Coach Ivkovic's legacy lives on in a thriving European game that he helped lift to where it is today."

Mr. Ivkovic, a relative of the world-renowned inventor Nikola Tesla, grew up on the same street in the Belgrade neighborhood of Crveni Krst as the open basketball courts belonging to Radnicki, the club where he would coach youth categories from 1968 to 1978, when he moved across town to Partizan, with whom he won the Yugoslav League and Cup, as well as the FIBA Korac Cup, in his first season at the head of a bench.

Mr. Ivkovic alternated between Serbia and Greece for the next decades, then started winning titles in bunches with four Greek teams in between 1990 and 2001. His first Greek League title came with PAOK in 1992 and his first EuroLeague crown with Olympiacos in 1997, when he won the national league and cup, as well, for a triple crown. He then added a FIBA Saporta Cup title in 2000 with AEK Athens.

In 2002, Mr. Ivkovic moved to Russia and led CSKA Moscow into three consecutive EuroLeague Final Fours while winning the national title each of those seasons. He moved next to Dynamo Moscow, with whom he won the 2006 EuroCup, making him the only coach ever to collect four different European competition trophies. But he was far from done.

Younger generations will remember Mr. Ivkovic as the mastermind behind one of the most unlikely EuroLeague titles ever won, when he guided Olympiacos to an upset of his old team, CSKA, in the 2012 championship game despite trailing by 19 points with 11 minutes left to play. He took a break from coaching after that but came back to lead Anadolu Efes Istanbul for two seasons before retiring officially in 2017. He was honored soon after as the first and still-only coach to be named an official Euroleague Basketball Legend.

In addition to his long list of championship victories as a club coach, Mr. Ivkovic had another one as head coach of Yugoslav and Serbian national teams, starting with a silver medal at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. Yugoslavia went on to win FIBA EuroBasket gold medals in 1989 and 1992 with Mr. Ivkovic on the bench, while in between his team climbed to the top of the sport globally by winning the 1990 FIBA World Cup in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He would add another EuroBasket title with FR Yugoslavia in 1995.

Rest in peace, Duda.

\[DE\] He may be the owner of several assists records, and on his way to more, but Nick Calathes of FC Barcelona is far more than a passing fancy or a fancy passer. Indeed, sometimes his skills as a passer can overshadow the many other attributes that Calathes brings to his teams. As a 1.96-meter point guard, Calathes knows how to use his size to score inside the arc, attacking the basket or playing one-on-one. He also rebounds really well for a playmaker. All that has allowed Calathes to become the first player in EuroLeague history to hit 700 two-point shots, dish more than 800 assists (at least) and pull down 900 rebounds during his career. Of course, he's made almost double those assists, with 1,526, and is on pace to become the EuroLeague's all-time leader next season. But don't forget, Calathes is a true all-'rounder, too!
