Where John’s wind blows

The Bucks host the Bulls tonight and Vassilis Skoundis puts Antetokounmpo in a process of simulation and constant atonement!

At the risk of being misunderstood by Giannis Antetokounmpo and being sued by the NBA for manipulation, I continue my tirade…

The other day I wrote here that the Knicks are the team of the Greek superstar and today I say to change the trope…

Going forward, his team could be who the Bucks are hosting tonight.

The cops have learned!

It was his childhood team anyway, and it could be in the future (again) if and when he ever tires of watching the same oldies in Milwaukee!

I would write that this would also be the case when she gets tired of eating the Milwaukee cold, but in Chicago it does more and it’s very windy on top of that, hence the nickname the “Windy City”!

Where the wind blows

Since it came up in the conversation, there is another version of how this illegality came about, and it’s not a compliment to the city’s culture…

They say it was so named because of its opportunistic and profit-oriented policies, which was OFA as we say in Greece…

Where the wind blows!

I don’t know if John’s winds will ever blow Chicago’s direction, he won’t even bother to move as the two cities are only 83 miles apart.

A cigarette, well, a cigar street!

So that there are no gaps in the narrative so far, and until the opposite is confirmed or proven, Giannakis has twice publicly spoken out in favor of the cops.

The first was innocent and painless, the second even incomprehensible!

“One day I will carry the Bulls jersey”

Giannis was born in 1994 and was only four years old when the Bulls did their “Last Dance”…

He couldn’t see her live but he admired her a few years later when he saw her on video and even confessed his lust to Christos Saloustro.

In the book “John, launch to the stars” by Mirin Fender, the current PAOK player, tells a similar story…

When they were, he says, teammates at Philathletes Zografou watching Bull’s highlights on YouTube, Giannis suddenly turned around and told him this…

do you see this jersey? Well you know I’ll wear it one day too»!

Of course, he wasn’t wearing the jersey of the Bulls, but of their neighbors the Bucks, but as Americans say, it’s a shame to let a detail spoil a beautiful story…

The jersey of the national team and you never know

Incidentally, in the same chapter of the book, Saloustros reveals that back then, in his youth, Giannis was obsessed with an even greater desire to wear the national team shirt…

One day I will make this blue costume my own. On the back will be the name Antetokounmpo»!

The bagasse read a clogged letter!

Giannis’ second hit came out on August 13th last year and falls under the category Out of the blue!

He was then asked in an interview about his future (while his supermax contract with the Bucks expires in the summer of 2026) and specifically if and when he would ever play for the Bulls and… bought that opportunity

That’s it until further notice…

Much horn will fall!

The Bucks host the Bulls tonight in a rematch of last season’s first round playoff series in which they prevailed 4-1 before being ruled out by the Celtics.

Bucks vs. Bulls, this is Stags vs. Bulls, so there is a lot going on in this duel!

Along with the horn will fall the memories locked in the old chest, but Giannis makes sure to haul them out to dry here and there!

I mean that because what happened seven and a half years ago and shaped his career is always etched in his mind and possibly in his temper as well…

It also shaped the history of the Bucks and put them in a redemption process last season in which they recorded eight wins in nine games (4-0 regular season, 4-1 playoffs).

They became a Redeem team!

“I saw everything then”

What I mean; As for Giannis, who has at least twice referred to the lesson he learned on April 30, 2015 when the curtain fell on his first playoff appearance…

He then ended the second season of his NBA career in a violent manner, leaving a major caveat…

How great;

In the order of 54 points!

I will never forget that game and that’s why I feel blessed that we could challenge or win the title. Then, in my first playoff appearance, I saw it all” he said once and he’s not wrong…

strangulation and -54

In the sixth and final game of the series, the Bulls committed a particularly heinous and heinous crime against the Bucks: strangling them by a score of 120-66 at the Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee, opening investigations into them and urging them to return with their Guardian, as we used to say!

This match was a nightmare in many ways, apart from the heavy loss and disqualification…

First scorer with 8 points!

First – and this may also be a record in league annals – no Bucks player reached double digits, while their top scorer was Zaza Pachoulias (8) and Giannis had five with 2/6 shots and ½ shots in 15 minutes of attendance.

The Bucks fired 21/57 two-pointers, 4/19 three-pointers and 12/19 shots, made 18 errors and their performance was incredible, but Giannis carries another unpleasant memory of that game…

His expulsion with an unsportsmanlike foul!

John’s shower on Dunleavy

At 58-28, with one minute and 36 seconds left in the first half, the Greek freak, smitten with his passion and the feud he’d started with Mike Dunleavy that series, lunged at him and destroyed him!

At this particular stage, the current Warriors vice president stood up to shoot a three-pointer and
Yannis pounced on him, not to bury him, but to kill him, as we say in my village!

He had his reasons, of course, as Dunleavy was the one who was wronged, a click earlier when he grabbed Giannis by the neck and threw him to the ground.

What he did wasn’t very smart. He must be careful and learn from the mistakes of others. It will certainly be lived‘ commented then-Bucks coach Jason Kidd at the end of the game.

3-2 in the playoffs and the horror draw

For the story, I note that the two teams have faced each other five times in a playoff series and the Bucks are bidding with three qualifiers to two.

The Milwaukee team prevailed in the Western Finals 4-0 in 1974, 3-1 in the first round of 1985 and 4-1 in the first round of 2022, while Chicago’s won in the first round of 1990 interspersed with 3-1 and in the first round in 2015 with 4-2.

In the meantime, now that I’m ceasing my regular reading ahead of today’s televised game of the game, I’m realizing a very chilling fact…

It might seem like the…junk info of the day, but the two teams have met 282 times in history, and that defeat ends in a dreaded draw…

The result is 141-141!

“Victories over Euroleague teams, the Super Cup in Belgrade, the birth of Jean-Charles’ twins.” Vatutin named the brightest moments of 2025

“Victories over Euroleague teams, the Super Cup in Belgrade, the birth of Jean-Charles’ twins.” Vatutin named the brightest moments of 2025

President of basketball CSKA Andrei Vatutin, in a conversation with Match TV, named the brightest moments of the outgoing year, and also told how to meet 2026.

At the end of the 2024/25 season, CSKA became the champion of the VTB United League. In the current regular season, the army team is in the lead, having won 16 victories in 18 games.

— How satisfied are you with 2025?

— First of all, I would like to say that the team we have now is very dear to me. I am often asked: which season’s team do you like the most? For some reason, everyone thinks that the answer will be related to our victories in the Euroleague. Not at all. Every year we have a unique team. I’m happy to work with the guys we have today. I really value the victories in the United League that we achieved with this Team. That’s right, with a capital letter. The guys communicate well with each other. We have a great environment in the dressing room. I am very glad that our veterans – Kurbanov, Antonov, Ukhov – continue their careers. They mean a lot to me and to CSKA.

It is clear that if you won the championship in the past year, there is no reason to be dissatisfied with the sports result. But again, I’m happy to work with the coaching staff, our players, our club office and I would like everyone to be healthy and for us to continue to win together. I think everyone will have a lot of wishes in their New Year’s toasts. But surely each of the CSKA employees, players and coaches will wish us good luck and that there will be no injuries. If everything goes well, then there will be victories.

In addition to winning the championship, our team had many more bright moments. Birth of twins to Livio Jean-Charles. We played the pre-season in Dubai for the first time. The United League Super Cup was played for the first time in Belgrade. Plus we beat two Euroleague teams, which doesn’t mean anything, but in principle it indicates that we can now play with Euroleague teams. And I’ll probably also note Kurbanov’s pass to Livio in Krasnodar, when they scored 0.6 seconds before the end. A very bright moment. This suggests that basketball has become faster over the past decades: what took three seconds in Munich was now decided in 0.6.

Of course, my family gives me many very bright positive moments.

— How will you celebrate the New Year? What will be on the festive table?

— In Moscow, with my family. As always, it will be delicious. I generally love to eat (laughs). So to say that today I eat tasteless, but on New Year’s Day it’s delicious, would be wrong. Before the chimes, as always, we will listen to Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin’s New Year’s address. Then we’ll have a glass of champagne, and then maybe move on to red wine.

— The Year of the Fire Horse is ahead. Does this mean that CSKA must definitely become the champion?

— (Laughs) I’ll say this: we don’t owe anyone anything. Whether it’s the year of the blue Horse or the Ox, our goals remain the same: we will try to please our fans. The Year of the Red Horse does not impose additional responsibilities and obligations. Of course, it’s nice that it’s the Year of the Horse, but it will be all the more interesting and enjoyable to ride this horse. Our competitors will probably oppose this. It is clear that the New Year’s toasts of the leaders of UNICS, Zenit, and Lokomotiv will also be for victory. Now is the middle of the season, and the most interesting is ahead,” Vatutin told Match TV.

ELKINSON: “We have a dream: to return European trophies to Zaporozhye”

President of the Zaporozhye Regional Basketball Federation Valery Elkinson Summarized the results of the first part of the season for BC Zaporozhye.

– Valery, at the beginning of the season you made predictions about BC Zaporozhye’s performance in the Super League and the Ukrainian Cup. The second round is already underway. Are you happy with the results?

– Yes, I am satisfied. Many experts predicted that we would be ninth or tenth, but we need work, system and team for the result. We have a very small staff: club president Viktor Stelmakov, chief accountant Tatyana Kozachenko and media director Roman Polyachenko. These people have been working for the benefit of Zaporizhzhya basketball for years, and thanks to this, we achieved the current result.

– Which matches did you like the most? Where did the team perform at its best?

– First of all, both matches will be played against Kharkov Falcons. Unfortunately, we lost the first match in overtime and won the second match by one point. These are important matches as the opponent’s head coach is our former mentor Valery Plekhanov. The matches were quite challenging and interesting.

– What about the matches against Dnepr?

– “Dnepr” is the leader of the championship today and so far it is difficult for us to fight with them. Our main duty now is to protect basketball in such difficult times. We plan to compete for medals in the future as well. We have a common dream with the city and regional authorities: to return the European Cup of basketball to Zaporozhye.

– How do you evaluate the role of American legionnaires in BC Zaporozhye?

– The team has a very good microclimate, foreign players are very well integrated into the team. They are the leaders of the team today. At the same time, you must understand that times are difficult and communicating with strangers in such conditions is a particular challenge. But despite all the difficulties, the team works in unity and produces results.

Captain Anton Buts plays a big role; He is a leader not only on the field, but also in the locker room, helping young people and communicating with foreign players.

– Anton Buts plays a very consistent game. Was he given any special assignments?

– Anton has been in our club for many years and is playing better every season. He has a strong character and he shows it in his matches. He manages the team; This is very important.

– How do young people express themselves?

– We are satisfied. Ilya Lishchina is our student who returned home after studying on the Dnieper. Vyacheslav Kiktev is a hardworking player, although there are some difficulties. We also signed another student, Alexander Petrenko, which allowed us to expand our squad.

– Where is it more difficult to play; In the Super League or the Ukrainian Cup?

– These are different tournaments. It is a cup elimination match. For years we had no luck in the draw; We reached Dnepr early. This year the draw was more favorable and for the first time in ten years BC Zaporozhye advanced to the Final Four. In the cup, everything is decided by a single match, while in the championship, the distance is longer.

– How do you evaluate the work of head coach Dmitry Shchiglinsky?

– Dmitry actively participated in the formation of the team, has his own vision of the game and tactics. We can say that he did the right thing with the choice of actors, including foreign actors. We try to create conditions where the team can work safely despite all the difficulties.
