some of croatian and serbian clubs not named cibona and partizan are better then best clubs from france for sample. and that guaranted spot destroys clubs from ex-yu. for sample in my croatia split won chapionship once, and zadar twice in last 5 years and could not paricipate in euroleague because cibona had guranted spot. that was maybe last chance for 3 time europian champion split to get out of financial problems because playing in euroleague means more intrest for sponsors. nobady can tell me that zadar, zvezda (red star) or hemofarm are not better than le mans or nancy, not mention what kind fans zadar and red star have or basketball tradition that ex-yu clubs have and just how many great players came from this area . Unfortunaly or fortunaly bartomeou, stern and others are doing everything to promote basketball in mony interesting countries and that culd destroy basketball in small but basketball rich countries like serbia, croatia and lithuania to
