Sans D-Will, Beşiktaş wins at Armia anyway, clinches Eurochallenge Group B first place
Deron who? Okay, so BallinEurope wouldn’t go that far; after all, we’re talking about a player of retired-jersey status here. Regardless, Beşiktaş Milangaz began the post-Deron Williams Era with a 77-75 win at Armia in FIBA Eurochallenge play, thanks to a David Hawkins jumper in the waning seconds… Official FIBA writeup follows.
Asvel Basket GM: “Bling-bling” players cost us Eurocup
If it were up to Asvel Basket general manager Pierre Grall, at least two of his players would have found a stockingful of coal this morning for their recent lackluster play. A 2009-10 Euroleague team, Asvel was ignominiously bounced from Eurocup contention this week despite beating KK Hemofarm Stada, 81-80, before over 4,600 fans in […]
“I am comin”: Iverson to Sydney Kings for 2012-13 season?
The Allen Iverson story gets more far-flung … at least on Twitter, great breeding ground for gossip and idle speculation. (BallinEurope loves Twitter.) With fewer than 140 characters, A.I. captured some media time in Australia yesterday with his tweet: “I hear Sydney is a real good city to live in. my boy Rodney O asked […]
Allen who? Iverson sits as Chatman pours in 43, Beşiktaş loses OT barnburner
Though he probably wasn’t aware of the statistical significance of Mire Chatman’s performance for his Beşiktaş Cola Turka Eagles last night, Allen Iverson surely knew he was watching one heckuva one-man show – and perhaps the best Eurocup game of the 2010-11 season thus far. One of the finest TBL players in 2009-10, Chatman went […]

Iverson and Beşiktaş come back, hold off Matt Walsh, beat Asvel Basket for first Eurocup win
Allen Iverson and his Beşiktaş Cola Turka may finally have turned the corner in the 2010-11 season with a well-balanced attack and a fourth-quarter comeback against Asvel Basket in Turkey last night, 80-74. Four Beşiktaş players – Cevher Ozer, Serhat Cetin, Fedor Likholitov and Mire Chatman – scored in double figures; Iverson added nine points […]
Iverson wants out? Nope, says Twitter feed
Talk Basket may have started a wee bit of kerfuffle in Allen Iverson’s camp this weekend when the website stated point blank that “Iverson wants out” of his deal with Beşiktaş Cola Turka. Reads the entire shinola-stirring entry: “Allen Iverson has been criticized for his mediocre performances and the bad results of Besiktas, since the […]
Iverson and Beşiktaş drop third straight Eurocup game, now at 0-2 (That’s right)
Allen Iverson and his Beşiktaş Cola Turka may have won the courtroom battle yesterday but they lost the courtside war in losing to Asvel Basket, 88-85. Iverson comported himself well enough on defense with three steals, but was fairly unimpressive offensively, going for 2-of-5 shooting and dishing four assists in 20 minutes. Beşiktaş fans were […]
Besiktas Cola Turka schedule: Who's in Iverson's future?
With Allen Iverson to join the TBL’s Beşiktaş Cola Turka, BallinEurope reckons the team will be getting a little (read: a lot) of extra attention from all parts. And so today, a brief look at the team’s current state in the 2010-11 season. After two games, Beşiktaş stands at 1-1: The club won an away […]
