Remembering Berlin 2009

By Antonis Stroggylakis/ info@eurohoops.net

Many remember the 2009 Final Four in Berlin as one of the absolute best in the history of Euroleague. The level of basketball was top notch and a lot of players or coaches that were involved have a legendary status in European basketball.

The semifinal between CSKA Moscow and Barcelona was decided  in the last minute, and the one that came later between Panathinaikos and Olympiacos was a last-second affair.

Although it didn’t begin like that, the grand Final also evolved into a thriller. Panathinaikos was the surviving hero that wore the crown of the Euroleague champion with Vassilis Spanoulis being named Final Four MVP.

Of course, the stories that interweave to draw the landscape of that Final Four were not created on the basketball floor exclusively. So here are some things that we will never, ever forget from Berlin 2009, which happened at both the backstage and front-stage of the tournament.
