Celebrations on the 25th season in the modern history of the EuroLeague extended to an All-25 EuroLeague Team. The five final entries were announced by Euroleague Basketball on Tuesday.
The selection process combined votes of championship-winning head coaches, past All-Decade Team members, Most Valuable Players, media representatives, and fans.
With a specific limit of 25 players in the prestigious list, naturally several household names, leaving their mark on Turkish Airlines EuroLeague history, were left out.
