What's your take on the fact that FIBA is trying to destroy European basketball both on club and national levels?

It sucks. I hope clubs and NTs don't give up under pressure and start supporting this Fiba Champions League nonsense.

But if they start supporting the Fiba Champions League that would exactly mean that they gave up under the pressure.
Euroleague for lyfe.
I think whatever happens, all of the top teams should be in the same competition. Otherwise it would ruin it for everyone.
But what FIBA is doing atm, trying to blackmail teams into joining them is a scumbag move.
>>66942766
Maybe I didn't word it properly. I agree with you.
>>66941014
Is the Euro league privately owned?
If so it's kinda like the NCAA football or basketball
>>66942766
Both need to go. Euroleague is just as corrupt as Fiba. You dont have the best teams from best countries playing in it, but only the ones having the most cash or bringing the most cash from sponsors. National championships are irrelevant, andstrenght is irrelevant. All that matters to them is money.
>>66944156
You act as though sports have some higher purpose than to make money
Upsetting tbqh. There should be a basketball club world cup where the Knicks just run through everyone and then choke to some Japanese team in the finals.

Nah famn basketball is pretty American
i heard nba is gonna intervene and pressure fiba into stopping it
>>66944315
It does in Europe. In most sports you have fair system where best of each country gets thrown together in a competition. It used to be the same for Basketball, but along came Euroleague and slowly changed it, and by doing that almost completely ruined the sport. Venues are empty, fans are gone, and players arent paid. It seriouly cant get much worse under Fiba.
>>66944434
Actually it really isn't either
Whether or not the teams operate like big corporations or simply little mom and pop stores, they're just businesses offering a product

Make it happen pls
>>66943401
Yup
Euroleague is completely independent from FIBA, and that's what pisses FIBA off.
>>66944156
True that though
lately the league was flooded with very shitty turkish teams
>>66945631
So why isn't FIBA so bitchy about the NBA?

Well, I guess it's simply too powerful compared to Euroleague.
