Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic recently shared his personal EuroLeague viewing watchlist.
While he openly roots for Serbian powerhouse Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet, the 36-year-old Montenegrin big admitted that a few other top-tier clubs in Europe keep him hooked.
He gave a breakdown of his habits to Mundo Deportivo’s Toni Canyameras. During the chat, Vucevic admitted he leans slightly toward one side of the famous Spanish rivalry, even though he respects both.
“European basketball fans are not going to like this. Barca is great, obviously, amazing, great clubs and history. Both teams are great. I’ve always had a preference for Madrid a little bit. I don’t know. Their history. Everything they have done. It’s a big club,” explained Vucevic.
The ACB clubs are far from his only stop when tuning in during the EuroLeague season. The veteran center named two more teams he regularly follows, praise going to a specific tactical mind in Greece as well as the loud environments created by his own favorite squad.
“Those three teams, I always like to watch,” he added. “Olympiacos. [Giorgos] Bartzokas is a great coach. They have a great team. Athens a great city. Great fans as well. Zvezda, I am a fan. They are special as well.”
