SRB – SLO (79-70)
An interesting game for Serbia, against Slovenia, as part of the Eurobasket preparations, and an excellent night for Nemanja Bjelica. The Serbian MVP has scored 19 points, with 4 rebounds and an almost perfect score at free throws and 2 and 3 pointers. Another proof that the forward will undoubtedly be on the final roster.
Alen Omić, Jaka Klobučar and BC Red Star’s Jaka Blažič were noticed, on the host’s side.
Voša bez LE

Nakon prošlonedeljnog poraza u gostima od 3-0, Lale nisu uspele da iskoriste prednost domaćeg terena, te su Česi upisali rezultat od 2-0, i lako produžili u Ligu Evrope.
…Another view of the European dream for Partizan
After playing the last leg of the Champions League qualifications against BATE, Partizan will have to adjust their expectations and guide themselves towards to the Europa League.
Ništa od mušeme u Humskoj. Partizan je uprkos svim nadanjima, te podršci punog stadiona JNA, izgubio šansu za odlazak u Ligu šampiona. Nije pomogao ni prelep gol iz makazica, mladog Ivana Šaponjića, samo minut pred kraj utakmice.
Luka Mitrović do 2017
Kapiten KK Crvena zvezda, Luka Mitrović, produžio je danas ugovor na još dodatnih godinu dana. Dvadesetdvogodišnji krilni centar crveno-belih je imao još jednu sezonu ugovorene saradnje, period koji je upravo udvostručio, dokazujući svoju posvećenost ekipi, uprkos činjenici da je letos draftovan od strane Filadelfije.

Remember how yesterday, the most important signing for BC Red Star so far, Sofoklis Schortanitis, had to take the bus? Well, it turns out that this move was actually a very special candid camera project, carefully planned for the strong center. A warm welcome, that I’m sure he won’t forget.
Danas je otkriveno i zašto je najznačajnije pojačanje Crvene zvezde u dosadašnjem toku prelaznog roka, Sofoklis Skortsanitis, putovao gradskim autobusom. Sve je bilo deo, pažljivo isplanirane skrivene kamere, u znak tople dobrodošlice stamenom centru. Ovakav doček, sigurno neće zaboraviti.
Greece’s final 12
Greece has announced their full squad on Sunday night, after beating Russia, in a four-nation friendly (80-65), a part of the Eurobasket preparations. Coach Fotis Katsikaris has decided to go with an experienced team, which is the reason why this year’s roster is filled by the country’s most well known names in the world of basketball.
Ryan Thompson to sign for Red Star
As the transfer window is coming to a close, it is more than obvious that Belgrade’s red and whites want to do everything to further strengthen its squad for the upcoming season. Ryan Thompson is landing at BC Red Star.
The latest player to sign for the Serbian team is a 27 year-old, 1,98m (6’6) tall guard, that has spent the past season playing in the German Bundesliga. He can cover more than one position on court, by playing both as small forward, and point guard, depending on the team’s tactical ideas. A variety that will come in as very useful to coach, Dejan Radonjić.
Aside from Germany, he played four seasons for the Rider University, a season in Italy, and two more in Belgium, one for Okapi Aalstar and Oostende, where he won the League and the Cup, in the 2013/2014 season. During the past season, in Brose Baskets Bamberg, he had an average of 12,3 points, 2,3 rebounds, and a 42% of 3 point hits.
He is the younger brother of Jason Thompson, another basketball player of the family, who was traded this summer for the Golden State Warriors.
Big Sofo, in Belgrade!
