At the beginning, the « A » stood for « amateur » (non professional). At the time, FIBA was the short for « Fédération Internationale de Basketball Amateur » in French). The « A » disappeared in 1986

Not mentioning the 1992 title of Partizan is honestly pure insanity. It was the first title in the new format, the team was BY FAR the youngest, it was Zeljkos FIRST season as a coach, and most importantly, they played most of the season in SPAIN, due to the conflicts of the Balkans. A bunch of children playing in a country on the other side of europe, winning euroleague, not getting a mention is so so poor of you.

Partizan de Fuenlabrada para siempre!

People way too easily forget that Italy is the contry that has won the most Euroleagues along with Spain. Back in the 80s the Euroleague was pretty much an Italian deal with Milano, Bologna, Cantu and Varese scrambling for it

Seeing Šaras as a player and as a coach in the timeline is awesome

[johntaua]

Wow, that was awesome. Thank you!
Gonna start watching EuroLeague closely starting this season.

3:30 Virtus Roma won the Euroleague in 1983-84. Virtus Bologna didn't win their first title until 1998 :)

Lets go exactly what I need on a lazy sunday. More pls.

[lenskihe]

Please please make a video on the FIBA - ULEB dispute and how it affects European basketball today

The "A" in FIBA comes from the former name, which included amateur, because pros weren´t allowed in FIBA competitions, later they changed the name but kept the "A"

tbh it sounds better

[apopet]

Isn't it unfair that the Euroleague is basically a closed group of teams? So they keep getting money and getting stronger, while other domestic league teams have no chance...

5:15 Definitely that’s Mike D’Antoni, who coached an incredible Benetton Treviso with pre-NBA Charlie Bell

[BBallRambling]

This video was awesome. Well done! I wonder when we will see the EuroLeague creep further into Asia. There are plenty of big cities, with bigger pockets. Maybe even a couple north African teams?

Really nice video man, i just wished it was like twice as long at least 😅
If u ever feel like making a 45 min video im sure many people would be all over it (including myself, of course).

[aptibabayt]

Great video! Next, plz do the best coaches in Euroleague (Suproleague, European Champions League etc) history (I guess).

[martinbast]

Can't wait for this season to start. You really have to appreciate the way basketball has become a global sport

[IOSALive]

BasketNews, great content it was really good

[sbabzy]

I dig the chronology and amazing evolution the Euroleague has undertaken... The FIBA influences are kinda still there on the game ... Its great competition, as an American I watch it and I am a fan

[mariosvlachojannis]

Great summary. Thanks! Euroleague>NBA

[aerostanislas]

In the beginning, FIBA was 'Fédération Internationale de Basket-ball Amateur'. That's the reason of the 'A' in the acronym.
