Not only does Virtus Bologna return to the Euroleague, but also Milos Theodosic.
There was a lot of symbolism in the EuroCup final where Bologna defeated Borsaspor 67:80 yesterday.
The symbol of the club's comeback to the top of basketball, was also the one who put a stamp on the record of the comeback - winning the title and a ticket to the Euroleague.
Along the way he proved that the stigmas that would speak to him were out of place.
Virtus Peer Group in the past with two Euroleague championships, was almost wiped off the map due to financial problems.
The comeback started 4 years ago, but only one move proved the seriousness of the intentions.
Only one move proved that the club wants to return to the top - the signing of Milos Theodosic.
Few in Europe are the really big stars, the ones who break the tie, and the existing ones - play in the Euroleague.
After his one-and-a-half-year NBA adventure at the Clippers, the Serbian quarterback was able to return to the senior factory and senior team, but decided to make a brave move.
He "went down" to the EuroCup to help with the Italian club's big challenge.
Everyone already knew here - the business in Virtus is the most serious there is, the player and the club will not be satisfied with less than achieving the goal.

It probably took too long.
In the first season the EuroCup was interrupted because of the Corona, last season a huge disappointment with the loss to Kazan in the semi-finals.
Again they went up and watched the demons of the past, and again talked about Milos being a basketball magician, but often choking on money time (he only has one Euroleague title).
So the final came yesterday and whoever thought the Serbian coordinator was a loser, he should think twice.
He gave a 21-point lead in 22 minutes, and was primarily responsible for his team returning to European basketball next season.
Yesterday at the age of 35 - Theodosic returns to the main stage in Europe, the Euroleague.
