On the eve of the Euroleague Final Four, Emmet Ryan is back with his annual address covering the league\u2019s growth, the FIBA relationship, expansion, and more basketball things.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>My fellow sportsball fans. It has been far too long since the annual eve of the Euroleague Final Four address was given. The tradition is renewed today and there\u2019s a great deal to talk about. Much of it is good. As ever, when it comes to matters of the future there is cause for hope and concern. All the same, be it FIBA, Dubai, or general fandom, let\u2019s get to it.<\/p>\n<h4>Cooperation is good<\/h4>\n<p>There were always two guaranteed losers with the FIBA and Euroleague civil war, namely the participants. With competition for eyeballs and spending in basketball alone fierce, there was also the matter of the sport competing with matters beyond hoops.<\/p>\n<p>The armistice has shown immediate benefits. With Euroleague clearing up space in its calendar for international windows, the picture for casual fans is more fluid. There\u2019s also the added benefit that anyone not on national team duty gets an extra rest. Wear and tear over a season is real. Rest helps.<\/p>\n<p>It may seem small but seeing joint posts by Euroleague and FIBA channels on Instagram during the season was eye popping. The more ways both organisations can get more people to watch more basketball, the better for all involved. This is a clear positive. Now they should seek to build on it.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In Post Ad by Rob --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8330822894995250\" data-ad-slot=\"1076584095\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<h4>The culture is the phenomenon<\/h4>\n<p>If you visit this site regularly, you already know that fans in Belgrade, Athens, and Kaunas are great at creating an atmosphere. This season, with Partizan and Crvena Zvezda in particular through the regular season, the virality of that atmosphere was something else.<\/p>\n<p>When people see that kind of intensity, emotion, and colour, they want more of it. They want part of it. Indeed, they want to be a part of it. For context, I can guarantee you that several people who read the top of this section were annoyed that I didn\u2019t include their city. Sorry Istanbul, you have amazing fans across your clubs but you served an illustrative purpose for this article.<\/p>\n<p>For longtime fans, it\u2019s probably a little odd. To them, this has long been the norm. Outside of the confines of supporters of Euroleague or even FIBA national competitions, it\u2019s having a breakout moment. How the powers that be in basketball study this and build on it, if they do at all, will prove important to the game\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Alba Berlin experience - A basketball road trip\" width=\"837\" height=\"471\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jdiW98bK3Bk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<strong><em>BallinEurope is ramping up its YouTube game this season. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/ballineurope\" rel=\"noopener\" >Subscribe to our channel now<\/a> for player exclusives, analysis videos, and much more.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>We have to talk about expansion<\/h4>\n<p>This isn\u2019t just about Dubai but it has to begin with Dubai. Last September, on my way back from the FIBA World Cup, I was sat in the airport in Dubai waiting for my connection home. There was footage of a game from that season\u2019s UAE league on. The gym was rec league stuff and the standard wasn\u2019t exactly enthralling.<\/p>\n<p>The project there is creating something quite new and it\u2019s not building on an existing culture for the sport. What there is to build on is interest in the bright lights and razzle dazzle. Euroleague\u2019s cultural phenomenon isn\u2019t the NBA, not just in size but also flavour. You can\u2019t just build a Partizan or Panathinaikos out of the box. It takes time and work.<\/p>\n<p>Investment coming into the sport is good but it\u2019s worth thinking about the purpose of said investment. There\u2019s value when clubs build cultural relationships with a fanbase and grow from there. It\u2019s no accident that the most successful billionaire buyouts in football, both commercially and in terms of results, have come with clubs that already had a strong culture in that respect. Both my cold business heart and my warm sporting soul question the potential benefit of a brand new entity.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>BallinEurope has a book, a real life actual book called I Like it Loud, and you can buy it on Amazon now. It\u2019s <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/like-loud-basketball-through-Europe\/dp\/1796221341\"><b><i>here as a book<\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i> and <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/like-loud-basketball-through-Europe-ebook\/dp\/B081K6S5T4\/ref=tmm_kin_title_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=&amp;sr=\"><b><i>here in Kindle form<\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i>.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<h4>Questions remain in more logical markets<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ballineurope.com\/eurocup-paris-basketball-london-lions-8395\/\" rel=\"noopener\" >London and Paris<\/a> long made sense as places to grow basketball. Paris Basketball (such a generic name) will join Euroleague next season. They aren\u2019t exactly turning away throngs of people at the Adidas Arena yet. The step up in class to Euroleague will also be a ferocious test of their ability to grow support. It\u2019s much easier to gain fans when you are winning.<\/p>\n<p>London Lions <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoopsfix.com\/2024\/05\/bbl-engages-with-new-investors-following-777-controversy\/\" rel=\"noopener\" >appear to have a more tenuous<\/a> future. They won FIBA Eurocup Women this year but look to be downscaling their women\u2019s operation next season. The men\u2019s side won the British Basketball League regular season and playoffs, along with making the Eurocup semi finals. Now, their overall situation appears to be in flux and the distance from Euroleague having a team in the UK capital is widening again.<\/p>\n<p>In essence, the root of their issue is the same one that raises questions about Dubai. A short-term jump, the franchise model essentially, is hard to make work in Europe. While a continent of distinct cultures, in sport we are used to our clubs developing over decades even when success appears to come overnight.<\/p>\n<h4>Play-ins are good but big gaps are worrying<\/h4>\n<p>The introduction of the play-ins this season did something that was expected for a while. Too many teams were falling out of contention to have anything beyond the regular season far too early in the campaign. You don\u2019t want everyone to believe they have hope for the whole campaign but there were too many sides with too little to car about following the national cup break.<\/p>\n<p>The play-ins resolved that, even though neither play-in winner made it through to the Euroleague Final Four. Coupled with the restructuring of Eurocup, which had the opposite issue of not enough peril, and the overall format makes for more games that matter longer into the season.<\/p>\n<p>The two exceptions in this discourse were, of course, LDLC Asvel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ballineurope.com\/alba-berlin-keep-it-lit-while-in-a-home-away-from-home-8431\/\" rel=\"noopener\" >and Alba Berlin<\/a>. The French club tidied up its record somewhat down the stretch, going 4-6 in its final 10 games. Still it and last placed Alba, which finished 5-29 with 11 straight losses, were worryingly far off from everyone else in quality.<\/p>\n<p>There will almost inevitably always be a couple of teams that are out of their depth every season. Still, the hope would be that these sides find ways to build more competitive rosters so the overall value of the product, again both in terms of fan interest and commercial value, grows.<\/p>\n<h4>So where from here?<\/h4>\n<p>The overall picture is positive. The potential for increased collaboration between FIBA and Euroleague, particularly if a merger of the Basketball Champions League and Eurocup comes to pass, is strong.<\/p>\n<p>The sport is strong in Europe but finding ways to use the growth of NBA interest on this side of the pond remains a challenge. That is really a tertiary concern for now. Building the culture of fandom and growing from it is where the immediate potential is, far more than any single investor looking to make it big.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve always known that people care about basketball in Europe. Now, more non basketball people are starting to realise that. This makes me quite hopeful for the future at large, albeit still somewhat cautious.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ballineurope.com\/the-state-of-the-euroleague-and-other-basketball-things-address-8437\/\">The state of the Euroleague (and other basketball things) address<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ballineurope.com\/\">BallinEurope<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><br>(1) IT Teacher IT Freelance<br> <\/p>\r\n<a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITTeacherITFreelance-Website.png alt=IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\/><\/a><p><a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/findteacher>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427! <\/a><br>\r\n\r\n\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a -\u6559\u80b2 -IT \u96fb\u8166\u73ed\u201d ( IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 ) \u63d0\u4f9b\u4e00\u500b\u65b9\u4fbf\u7684\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a \u6559\u80b2\u5e73\u53f0, \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u4fe1\u606f\u6280\u672f, \u96fb\u8166 \u8001\u5e2b, IT freelance \u548c programming expert. \u8b93\u5927\u5bb6\u65b9\u4fbf\u5730\u5c31\u80fd\u627e\u5230\u5408\u9069\u7684\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2, \u96fb\u8166\u73ed, \u5bb6\u6559, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b.  <br>\r\n\r\nWe are a education and information platform which you can find a IT private tutorial teacher or freelance. <br>\r\n\r\nAlso we provide different information about information technology, Computer, programming, mobile, Android, apple, game, movie, anime, animation\u2026 \r\n<\/p>\n<p><br>(2) ITSec<br> <\/p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITSec-Main-Promotion-Image.png alt= https:\/\/itsec.vip\/\r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers.  \r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training.\/><\/a> \r\n<br><br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip>www.ITSec.vip<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/sraa.com.hk>www.Sraa.com.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.hk>www.ITSec.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/penetrationtest.hk>www.Penetrationtest.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itseceu.uk>www.ITSeceu.uk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers. <br><br>\r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training. \r\n<br><br>Contact us right away. <br><br>Email (Prefer using email to contact us): <br>SalesExecutive@ITSec.vip<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"667\" height=\"667\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ballineurope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/State-of-the-Euroleague-667x667.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-image size-post-image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Ahead of the Euroleague Final Four, we examine the state of the competition, the relationship with FIBA, and more\"><\/div>\n<p>An old tradition of BallinEurope is renewed in Berlin.
