Craziest EuroLeague Fight Ever That Decided Champions

One of the craziest EuroLeague fights created a similar buzz that the NBA’s Malice At The Palace did back in 2004. A fight that ended with suspensions of Guerschon Yabusele, Kevin Punter, Gabriel Deck, Mathias Lessort & left Dante Exum injured. Huge drama before and after the brawl made the 2023 Playoff series between Real Madrid & Partizan one of the most exciting ever. All of it is broken down in this video!

Although difficult to exempt responsibility from a team who lost a 10+ pt lead in 2 occasions, it's inevitable to not elect Sergio Llull the MVP of the series. With Euroleague's help, he saved Real Madrid in game 2. It's insulting that Real Madrid got benefited after starting a riot, including the ridiculous penalty for what Yabusele did.

Dante exums father Cecil Exum passed away shortly after this event. RIP CECIL EXUM great player in his day

Everything went downhill after that incident in game 2. It's a shame we couldn't finish what we started, we looked so good in those first two games. Of course, you have to commend Real players for not giving up, and especially for staying locked in in the second half of game 5.
Still, you can't help but wonder what would've happened if there were no suspensions, and I definitely think justice didn't prevail in the end in this series.
However, as Partizan fans, we have to be proud of what our guys accomplished this season, after not playing in the Euroleague for 8 years, and we're hoping for a better run and a bit more luck next season.

its really easy to dissect.
Llull did what they've done in the past vs Olympiakos and spanoulis. a hard foul to create something out of nothing. Punter took the bait, exum came running from behind initially wanting to punch Llull behind the head, last moment just palmed him behind the head, then deck follows up by grabbing exum, exum ducks and gives what seems like a gut punch, yabusele notices, grabs exum and body slams him to oblivion, meanwhile mousa is getting punched by almost everyone (including an accidental hit by hezonja), punter gives a 1-2 combo to mousa (neck then face), lesort is running like a running back from the other side of the court to do an RKO to Mousa.

Real Madrid is this team that has stolen most games and trophies in the history of sports, any given sport. They have been favoured with outrageous decisions and clear violations of the rules for years and years. THIS incident and the way punishments were attributed is probably the worst ever. One more example of Euroleague’s disgraceful criteria and tainted core.

Apart from the Spanish Basketball School, there is also the Spanish Mindgame School. They're teaching mind games for dacades now, they are pros. Llul knew what he was doing and what could come out of this chaos. I don't blame them, they got what they wanted. Thing is, next year there might be other teams who might mimic these kind of behavior. And Euroleague just let it roll with ridiculous sanctions.

[kagancetin]

I wanted Partisan to win. But this is very biased. First Llul made an unsportsmanlike faul. Same type of fauls are always done in games. No big deal, maximum can get ejected for that game. Apart from yabusele (should get more, not a year calm down haha) the other suspensions were spot on.

in case you are new, welcome to euroleague mafia

[iamchaunceman]

Dante Exum is a pro. Glad he is back in the NBA. Madrid should have asterisk next to that series win. That was a terrible outcome for Partizan, they deserved to win as the better team.

[xanax]

As a neutral fan here, my point of view is that Punter and whole Partizan organisation should have been aware of these Spanish mind games. What I want to say is that, you have +15 in last minut of the match in Madrid, potentially 2:0 for you and as PROFESSIONAL player and CAPTAIN you need to be calm and ready for these unsportsmanlike strategies from the Spaniards. I don’t want to blame just Punter here of course, but for me I think that he had to act in more mature and calmer way than this, especially because I also think that if Partizan was on full roster they could easily smash Real with 3:0.

If this happens at an Olympiakos Panathinaikos derby, the European Basketball will End at this Day

[doktorica]

The suspensions were ridiculous. Lull not getting a suspension was horrific and made 0 sense. But that's the Real Madrid - Euroleague mafia working there. At least 1 or 2 more Madrid players should have got a game ban. Partizan would have defeated them but that wouldn't slide well with the Kings club so they played the cards in their favor. Unlucky for Partizan

[MilisavVukovic-dt]

Advice: If you're losing a game or series, get the worst player you have in game and let him punch a best guy in opponent's team. Oppenent's team will get worse punishments from Euroleague and you will end up winning series.
Ps. Don't do this if you aren't Real Madrid's coach.

Real Madrid strategy: "If we can't beat them ... beat them."

[johnfairbairn]

People are forgetting that Madrid didn't really have Tavres for games 1 or 2, Madrid's best player by far. His return had a far bigger impact that the suspensions IMO. Yabusele's suspension was way too lenient but so was Punter's, you can't start swinging in a basketball game

[ΛιζιΜπίζι]

This video shows one thing: People can be divided and united so easily, it is a shame we don't choose unity every time.

[anngio]

1. Tavares
2. Punter's reaction to an unsportsmanlike foul
3. Partizan's inability to hold on 16points Lead for 19minutes.

Although Yabusele might deserve a longer suspension, this didn't affect the series outcome at any point.

Same with Llul's unsportsmanlike foul. It was just a bad foul from a sore loser. Nothing more than that.

I dislike Real in general but i am mostly disappointed on Partizan's reaction. Especially when the best and most experienced coach in Europe on their bench. How on earth they managed to lose 3 consecutive games, especially the last one. They lost a 16points lead from 35+ yo veterans. Lol

[nusproizvodjach]

Great analysis.
Too bad I won't be visiting Lithuania this year, but hey, some other time...
