List of 2010-11 European Champions: Return from Barcelona edition
BallinEurope apologizes for the recent two-day drought of content in an attempt to catch up on “the day job” since returning from the Euroleague Final Four tournament. To (hopefully) make up for this dearth a bit, and in honor of Panathinaikos’ stirring win in the big league, BiE today presents an updated version of its […]
“Do you know who I am?”: AP has more on Iverson’s Lamborghini impoundment
More details have been released about Allen Iverson’s recent conflict with Atlanta police and the subsequent impounding of his Lamborghini last week – or, according to the man himself, one of his 11 or so Lamborghinis.

Iverson’s car impounded in Atlanta (Hey, what happened to rehabbing with Beşiktaş?)

Iverson to return to Turkey on Monday
Finally, some news of Allen Iverson’s return to Beşiktaş Cola Turka!

A.I. owes in Colorado; no word on return to Beşiktaş Cola Turka
No word on Allen Iverson’s return from injury and to Turkey to resume playing for Beşiktaş Cola Turka, but negative press is out on Mr. Answer this week.

And the Oscar (Robertson) goes to: Basketball Movies in 2010
So the envelopes have been opened and the celebratory parties in Tinseltown have yet to truly begin as Hollywood’s version of the NBA All-Star Weekend draws to a close. BallinEurope spent most of the weekend flipping between the ACB, NBA, “Black Swan” and “The Kids are All Right,” and is thus in perfect mindset to […]
Allen Who? Beşiktaş Cola Turka shocks Efes Pilsen in Turkish Cup
Just two games are in the books in the 2011 Türkiye Kupasi, but certainly the shocker of the tourney has already been played: Last night in Kayseri, the scoreboard read “Beşiktaş Cola Turka 57, Efes Pilsen Istanbul 55. In what was not exactly a shooting clinic – Beşiktaş (10-7 in TBL play in 2010-11) collectively […]

Top 100 Teams in Europe: Tops in ACB tops on Continent
The changes begin near the top in this week’s edition of the BallinEurope Top 100 Teams list, as Montepaschi’s third consecutive Euroleague loss dumps the Italian side down to no. 3, passed by their most recent vanquisher, Real Madrid. The top 20 stays fairly stable thereafter, with some jostling of position but no seismic shifts. […]
Top 100 Teams in Europe: Barcelona back to no. 1
BallinEurope took a little extra time with the Top 100 Teams in Europe list this week after a suggestion that certain ACB teams were getting the shaft of non-inclusion in the calculations – and so the pool has been widened accordingly. In calculating the Top 100 for this week and heretofore, all teams in major […]
Iverson gets surgery Tuesday; wants to play “several more years”; could head to Cleveland (yeah, surrrrrrrrrrrrrrre)
Nearly a month after his last game with Beşiktaş Cola Turka, BallinEurope still misses Allen Iverson. A.I. was just coming into form with the Turkish club when a rumor-enflaming leg injury took him out of action and back to America for treatment. Surgery will be performed on Tuesday to remove an “undetermined growth in his […]
Manager: Iverson won’t retire, hopes to return to Beşiktaş for TBL playoffs
Well, that’s a relief. Via the Associated Press, Allen Iverson’s manager Gary Moore has stated that rumours of his client’s retirement due to a leg injury are utterly premature: “Moore said Iverson ‘totally disputes’ reports out of Turkey that he was set to retire,” thereby slamming the brakes on a wide range of rampant speculation.
