Congrats on 100.000🎉 Keep the good work hello from🇷🇸

[@BasketNews_com]

Thanks!

[@OnyourMakeitOwn]

Where is Bayern? They signed so many top players! Why not a single one here?

[@Staraas]

Who are those top players?

[@mihailopavlovic2027]

​@@StaraasSerge Ibaka? Carsen Edwards?

[@Staraas]

@@mihailopavlovic2027 they’re good players but not top

[@mihailopavlovic2027]

​@@StaraasIf Frank Kaminsky is a top player, so is Ibaka. If Teodosic is a top player, so is Carsen Edwards. Like cmon, one of the best shot blocking bigs ever, and one of the most electric players in Europe right now, they need to be top players

[@AugustasSuliauskas]

Carsen Edwards is yet to prove he is a top player in Europe. He should breakout this year but let's see how efficient he can be@@mihailopavlovic2027

[@vukan9798]

I just started following BasketNews you guys are awesome keep up the good work! All the best from 🇷🇸

[@AugustasSuliauskas]

Thank you!

[@boerbru9721]

You should do a vid for new fans on which team they should support , like the flashiest or best defensive teams etc love the channel btw

[@MrDuncanquasar]

Nice summary. I would also add Virtus getting Jaleen Brown is a very nice addition, as well as Bayern getting Purdue Boilermaker Carsen Edwards.

[@frequentlyoffline3917]

I hear a Mac Miller song in the background. It's Hurt Feelings, right? Great taste.

[@siler22]

Best transfers this seasons are Darius Thompson and Facu, two players made for thier new/old teams

[@nox_doggo5883]

Congrats on 100k!

[@StandingOut101]

Looking at this rn, and the commentator said for Napier: ,,It's a 2-year deal, so it won't be like the situation with Campazoo when he left 6 months after". You were right, he left only 4 months later 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@VeRDeGR]

I see Teodosic & Brazdeikis but not Juancho? You forgot something there 😉

[@TMPOUZI]

Biggest one of all in the future might be Nigel Williams-Goss in the hands of Bartzokas. He was after him many years. Just watch

[@anonymoususer7239]

Lol

[@alastairwood7277]

As a netural Cleveland to Maccabi stands out above almsot anyone besides Facu. They have a great guard rotation but lacked defensive versatility. He comes in with 2x DPOTY in Australia and played last season in Israel so already has some familiarity with European Ball and the style. Add in being unselfish on the ball but maintaining volume scoring, you'd imagine salary wise he's great value for Maccabi's medial budget I'm saying besides Facu he's a clear No 1 for me for the best off season signging. Really high on him

[@crewing3676]

what about juancho hernangomez ?

[@ogerousiastis1898]

I think you are to hard on Willy Lesort is an average defender and Sloukas is a bad one in a team that 90% of the roster can't guard they got A tho(and i agree they are A moves ). I still belive in Kemba , i think Brazdeiskis was a desperate move for my team . If you pair Milos with Hanga that might work , Kaminski is a risk in a team which couldn't defend last year . Punter Milutinov Campazzo Thompson are A+ Mirotic for me has basketball no longer his priority. Dozier can really help and i think Parker will be extremely bad , Nappier proved he is in a good level last year.

[@gokselb4043]

Olympiakos is in Athens? 😅 0:26

[@realKiraMG]

Congrats on 100K guys!

[@BasketNews_com]

Thank you!

[@ivblizzard3616]

Wait at 2:53 the score is 37-11? Is PAO so trash?

[@radinDju]

So true. Only one Lesor is A+ for PAO !!

[@clintstewart5545]

this guy looks like michael ballack it's uncanny

[@Zisis91]

I am an Olympiacos fan but where is Juancho Hernangomez? Did you forgot about him?

[@volimdudatisise]

You missed the thing. Kaminski isnt replacing lesort😉. Remember what the Partizan owner said: ''We aint done yet in the transfer market''

[@AugustasSuliauskas]

Hopefully so, they badly need a center. But as of now, there's no starting center so I valued it in this way until they sign someone!

[@markomarkovic5729]

@@AugustasSuliauskas I think that Partizan needs a 4/5 or even a 4/3 player more than a classic center, because Smailagić makes a difference when he plays center, and there's also Koprivica, who with 216cm and a solid wingspan is a good rim protector and rebounder. He still can't switch on guards, but he's very mobile for his size and can improve. Željko Obradović said that he has high expectations for him this season, especially defensively. On the other hand, LeDay is the only classic PF, along with the inexperienced Tristan Vukčević. We had Papapetrou last season, who often played at 4, while Ponitka will play more often at 1. P.S. A big interview with Željko Obradović was published today, in which he openly talked about Mirotić case. He didn't mention any names, but said that Mirotić had calls from politicians and from the church and that he was forced to give up coming to Partizan.

[@Nelaime1]

For Parker if is not F , than I don't know what is F

[@thanell1373]

Juancho??

[@samstaponas7964]

100k 🎉

[@saschabeck1800]

Where is ibaka?

[@kostasoly9318]

Milou🇬🇷🇷🇸🏆

[@cocktipus]

No Artūrs Žagars review?

[@AugustasSuliauskas]

He isn't starting the season in Euroleague

[@babic3785]

Where is Hanga,Tobey, Giedraitis?

[@iwg5618]

James Webb?

[@SALEBLOK2]

Zach LeDay not in top 15? What? 😅

[@ZaliasZ]

negalvojat padaryt europietišką shaqtin a fool versiją :) ? Būtų įdomu

[@MaressiYT]

I feel like you nealed every grade

[@AlekFC]

man, why are you all sleeping on leday, he was as good as punter was for partizan, even better for the most of the season

[@alexeyklochun4437]

No Bayern is crazy

[@nox_doggo5883]

first

[@newchannel416]

The Sloukas signing should have gotten a C at best. He is turning 34 years old in january He cant play any defense When he is tired he turns the ball over a lot. He can score but not at the highest level He is a horrible teammate. He cant rebound the ball or steal So he basically contributes in scoring but not in an efficient way. Lastly he failed to deliver in the final 4,back to back. 10m for 3 years?Thats a robbery.

[@SinnermanStudios]

I stopped wathing this video on 3:06 because I just can't bear the way you pronaunce some team names, Partizan & Olympiacos especially. Its just too weird to my ears. Am Im the only one?

[@DimitriYan]

he uses local pronunciation, i appreciate that more then anything...

[@Kobajagi13]

Actually,this is how we say Partizan in Serbia,good work

[@felcic5557]

That is the best pronunciation of Partizan and Crvena Zvezda i ever heard of someone on yt, he actually says it right.

[@asoasotriadio]

This is how we pronounce Olympiakós in Greek at least the intonation part... Also m+p in Greece is pronounced as b so the most correct way would be Olybiakós

[@alaeus2310]

They pronounce both teams correctly. Greek and Serbian sound very different from english, just saying.

[@DelijeBanjaLuka]

❤️⚪

[@barca857]

🇷🇸🖤🤍💪💪💪🥇

[@asoasotriadio]

"A" for the "clutch" guy: who missed the euroleague finals last shot, who missed last shot at game 4 with Monaco, who lost the ball to Walkup in last possesion some years ago against Zalgiris and Olympiacos missed the playoffs because of this, who is a black hole in defence and wants the ball for 20 seconds to decide what to do in the last 4, who last year ghosted all season and only played good in playoffs (offensively) because defensively he is bad the whole year😂 Yeah right... Come to SEF Mr 🐇 Botox 🔴⚪ Kostaki gera kai fatous ta lefta (Kostakis go hard and eat their money) 10million what a deal for $loucash who promised Gate 7 that he would never go to Pao and after that promise 2 weeks later he signed with them😂🤑

[@dexy122]

Aaah, European rivalries. There is really nothing better.

[@melodictube11]
