A first in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague and a brand new view on action in Europe’s premier club continental competition.
Besides FC Bayern Munich outlasting Zalgiris on Friday, Croatian center Danko Brankovic became the first EuroLeague player packing in a MindFly bodycam to game attire.
Check his view in BMW Park through Round 29 of the Regular Season.
Per the press release: “If you ever wondered how a basketball game looks from the perspective of a player, now is your chance to see it for the very first time!
On Friday night, FC Bayern Munich center Danko Brankovic became the first EuroLeague player to wear a MindFly bodycam during an official game, giving the fans all around the world a chance to view the actual game-action from the point of view of a player on the floor.
To add to the experience, Brankovic had one the best games of his career in Bayern’s win over Zalgiris Kaunas, an all-round contribution that resulted with a PIR of 14, the fourth best of his first season in the competition, all while wearing a jersey with a smaller, lighter and player-friendly prototype of the revolutionary MindFly AI ultralight-powered bodycam embedded inside.
Developed with collaboration of FC Bayern Munich, Euroleague Basketball is once again at the forefront of innovation in sports, bringing the existing collaboration with Mindfly to the next level, even further enriching fan experience.
The final product is also a result of long-time tests, some going as far as eight years ago, as well as most recent once used during EuroLeague teams’ practices.
The footage truly brings viewers into the heart of the on-court action, as this cutting-edge, revolutionary technology provides a captivating look at the basketball action, but also interactions between the players, as well as with the coaches and referees.
Euroleague Basketball and MindFly started their collaboration during the last Final Four held in Kaunas, where all fans had the possibility to re-live some of the best moments of the EuroLeague’s final phase as if they were inside the court.
This season’s debut of the same technology, with the referees donning shirts with MindFly bodycams, let fans experience El Clásico between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona and since then a true winning streak of derby rivalries: AS Monaco and LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne in France, Virtus Segafredo Bologna and EA7 Emporio Armani Milan in Italy, Anadolu Efes Istanbul and Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul in Turkey, Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade and Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade in Serbia, and just this week Olympiacos Piraeus and Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens in Greece.”
