Without a doubt, this is the most difficult decision we have had to take in our 20-year history, Euroleague Basketball President and CEO Jordi Bertomeu said. The EuroLeague is generally considered the second-best basketball league in the world behind the NBA. Larkin made clear in an Instagram post over the weekend that he didnt feel it was prudent for the EuroLeague season to continue. It is no secret that since postponing the season players havent had the ability to remain in top level shape, Larkin wrote. The EuroLeague, which is basketballs equivalent of a Champions League in soccer with the top teams from various nations qualifying to take part, is planning to have all 18 teams from this season in the league again next season.
