Bill Murray’s Observations from the EuroLeague Final Four

It was a concern arising from the realization by Bill Murray that the fans were incredibly passionate and enthusiastic. He said they sing throughout the game, shout throughout the game: What he was referring to was the enthusiastic reception, and the spirited fans.
Bill Murray was particularly impressed with the physicality that he noticed was far higher in the EuroLeague. Speaking to reporters, the player stated that the game is more physical in comparison to the NBA game and he is expecting a closely fought game.

Expectations for the Championship
Bill Murray wants increased competitive confrontations. “Well, up to now, none of the games has been a very close one,” he said, “I would like to have a dogfight, I would like to see a dogfight” he continued to joke.
Perhaps Murray’s wish will come true in the championship game tonight between Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens and Real Madrid, which is set to start at 20:00 CEST. Thank you for the amazing performance and interesting comments, which helped to continue the debate on EuroLeague and NBA performances.
