Paris Basketball has won the Eurocup for the first time in its history. Finnish coach Thuomas Lisalo won the trophy with 6 players and three members of his staff.
Paris Basketball has a ticket for the most prestigious European competition. The next step for the club is to qualify for the Champions League. It is the first major European trophy for the capital club in its 6-year history. The team has already played 54 games this season, that it has only lost eight and that it remains on a now-long streak of 20 games without defeat. It has single-handedly got its hands on the two trophies of the season: the Leaders Cup and this Eurocup. “I’m so proud of us, we’ve been working so hard since August for this,” says the new French international Nadir Hifi, who made his professional debut in this same gym in Bourg three years ago. ‘I'm in an organization that couldn't be better than this one. I feel the confidence of my coaches and teammates. To be given responsibilities like that at this age is incredible,’ says Lisalo.
