Nigel Hayes-Davis was recording everything during a championship-winning trip with Fenerbahce Beko to Abu Dhabi.
In addition to capturing the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague title, the 30-year-old forward was named Most Valuable Player of the Final Four on Sunday.
However, he started filming from the top, specifically the Fener trip from Istanbul to the capital of the United Arab Emirates, looking to create a mini-series on his official YouTube channel.
“I started recording on Wednesday,” he revealed his project during a media session in Ulker Sports Arena on Tuesday, before also headlining the victory parade in Istanbul, “Each episode will be a day of going on in this, behind the scenes, my point of view of a championship journey.”
“I think it is something a lot of people will enjoy. Because you see a lot of things, hear a lot of things, and experience sights and sounds that you don’t normally get to see,” he added to the description of the planned video documentary.
“Life is beautiful, and the best thing you have in life are memories,” continued Hayes-Davis, “I’m trying to create those so not only I can relive it, but everyone around me that cares can enjoy it as well.”
Moving on from the second EuroLeague championship in team history, Fenerbahce is focusing on the Turkiye Sigorta Basketbol Super Ligi Playoffs 2025. Placed on the top seed of the bracket, as the winner of the 2024-25 BSL Regular Season, the team coached by Sarunas Jasikevicius tips off a best-of-three series versus Turk Telekom in Ulker Sports Arena on Thursday.
As for the 2025-26 season, the former Wisconsin standout is expected to consider NBA options, seeking a possible return to the league after playing in nine games of the 2017-18 Regular Season with the Sacramento Kings, Toronto Raptors, and Los Angeles Lakers.
