The Stars

We all watch basketball to catch a glimpse of the spectacular, and it always helps if we know where to look.  This section will pay homage to the stars who make the Euroleague worth watching.  We’ll be posting player profiles several times per week that will include, among other things:

• Player bios
• Strengths and weaknesses
• NBA player comparisons
• Video footage of each player, so you know we’re not making it up
• Correct name pronunciation (believe me, you’ll need it)

Over the next two weeks, we’ll try to get you up to speed, starting with the 2008-09 All-Euroleague performers, including:

(First Team)

• Terrel McIntyre, Montepaschi
• Igor Rakocevic, Tau Cerámica
• Juan Carlos Navarro (MVP), Regal Barcelona
• Ioannis Bourousis, Olympiacos
• Nikola Pekovic, Panathinaikos

(Second Team)
