The ninth, finally, at home

Twenty, twenty years has been waiting Real Madrid for this moment. Finally, the ninth Euroleague is at Real Madrid museum. In this entry we will talk about the amazing actuation of Real Madrid at the championship and the spectacular MVP, Andrés Nocioni.

Real Madrid just won its ninth Euroleague title and it leads the all-time standings Madrid won the competition in 1964, 1965, 1967, 1968, 1974, 1978, 1980, 1995 – and now 2015!
Real Madrid just lifted its 15th continental trophy! Added to its nine Euroleague titles, Madrid won four Saporta Cups, one Korac Cup and a ULEB Cup.
Felipe Reyes and Rudy Fernandez have joined a select group players to win both the Euroleague and the Eurocup titles. Reyes lifted the then-called ULEB Cup trophy with Madrid in 2007 and Fernandez won that competition with Joventut Badalona in 2008. The list includes another Spanish player - Ricky Rubio (FC Barcelona 2010; Joventut 2008).
Reyes and Fernandez joined an elite group of 22 players that have won the Euroleague, EuroBasket and World Championship titles. There is only one player on the list not hailing from the former Soviet Union or former Yugoslavia: Juan Carlos Navarro. The list includes all-time greats Gennadiy Volnov, Arvydas Sabonis, Drazen Petrovic and Toni Kukoc.

Salah Mejri became the first Tunisian player ever to win the Euroleague.
At age 35, Andres Nocioni became the third oldest player to win the Final Four MVP award! Only Bob McAdoo of Milan (1988) and Dominique Wilkins of Panathinaikos (1996), who won it at 36, were ahead of him. He was the senior-most player at this Final Four!
Reyes participated in 230 Euroleague games before winning his first trophy! Only one other player - Kerem Gonlum - has played more (232) and is yet to win.
Real Madrid waited 20 years to regain the European crown, but it isn't the longest drought ever. Maccabi Tel Aviv also had 20 years of waiting (1981-2001), and CSKA Moscow had waited 35 years (1971-2006).
Gustavo Ayon is the second Mexican player to become European champion. Manuel Raga did so three times with Varese before Ayon was even born – in 1970, 1972 and 1973.
The Real Madrid will continue making legend, but how long? We will see next year

PES 2016 or FIFA 16?

September is coming, and one of the most interesting questions is: What will be the best football videogame the next year?

Since 2011, FIFA is winning that competition, with an amazing graphycs, alot of game modes, and with the addictive Ultimate Team. PES neads a total renovation for being the game that was the king in PlayStation 2. PES 2015 improved a lot in comparision with PES 2014. It was a great game, but it has to improve more for winning this battle.
By the other side, FIFA isn't doing the things well. It had a perfect game last year, it was amazing and very attractive for all players. In FIFA 2015 things are worse, playing the game is a little bit boring, because the only aptitude in the players that is valored is only the speed. And in Ultimate Team they are including things like FIFA Points or prize ranges and that's doing the game worse.


PES is preparing a total revolution in sports games, they will bet all for this game. They could beat FIFA
next year, we will see more news about that at the E3.

BBVA team of the season?

There are two matches left until the end of the season. Real Madrid gives up in the league after the saturday draw with Valencia. Barcelona is the favourite now. So, today, we're going to talk about the best inicial 11 and 7 subs.

We start with two goalkeepers. We think it's the most easy decission, because these two have been in a spectacular level during the season. The first is Claudio Bravo, from FC Barcelona. He has received only 19 goals in 36 matches, an average of 0'53 goals per match. Finally, Diego Alves, from Valencia CF. He has received only 26 goals, with an average of 0'74 goals per match, and he has saved 4 of 8 penalties attempts, amazing!

Next, deffenders. We start with Marcelo Vieira, from Real Madrid. Next, Nicolás Otamendi, from Valencia CF and Sergio Ramos from Real Madrid. Daniel Alves will complete the 4 deffenders. Finally, Jose Luis Gayà and Gerard Piqué will be the two substitutes.

We continue with midfielders. Toni Kroos, from Real Madrid CF, Ivan Rakitic, from FC Barcelona and James Rodríguez from Real Madrid CF. The substitutes will be Daniel Parejo, from Valencia CF and Koke Resurrección from Atlético de Madrid.

Finally, the strickers. Cristiano Ronaldo, with 42 goals and 15 assists. Lionel Messi, with 40 goals and 18 assists. Luis Suarez, with 16 goals and 14 assists. The substitutes are Neymar JR and Antoine Griezmann.

Stephen Curry, MVP?

NBA is at playoffs semifinals, and one of the most attractive questions to answer is: who will be the regular season MVP? There's a lot of options, Russell Westbrook from Oklahoma, with his triple-dobles? James Harden from Houston, with his shot clock baskets to win the games? LeBron James from Cleveland, with his skills and probably the heir of Michael Jordan? All these have great oportunities to be the Most Valuable Player in a season that is very long, with 82 games.
But all the world have a favourite player, from Golden State, the point-guard, Stephen Curry. His skills are amazing. He has the ability to make a three point basket from all places in the court, and amazing dribbling skills including a spectacular intelligence to make plays.

He has average in the regular season 23'8 points, 4'3 rebounds and 7'7 assists, and now he's doing an amazing playoffs with an avarage of 31'4 points, 4'6 rebounds and 7'2 assists.

               

We will now the NBA decission this afternoon, but everyone bets for Stephen. Will he be the MVP?
