Geoff: When I was listening to EuroLeague & Friends this week, Asta Zukaite made a point that I wish I had seen earlier. So, big props to her. She compared the Zalgiris team that won the FIBA Saporta Cup and the EuroLeague in back-to-back years in 1998 and 1999 to this current Paris team, which obviously lifted the EuroCup last season. She also compared Tyus Edney to TJ Shorts. Another brilliant comparison. Anyway, I really think it's written in the stars for Paris this year.
