#BasketballClassics #Euroleague #Limoges #RealMadrid Date: April 13, 1993 Venue: Peace and Friendship Stadium (Athens) Attendance: 12,000 Box score: http://www.fibaeurope.com/compID_,Uz0... In 1993, the modest and small Limoges team, led by Michael Young, eliminated Sabonis' Real Madrid in the Euroleague Final Four semifinals, holding them to just 52 points (52-62). Limoges, masterfully coached by Boza Maljkovic, went on to defeat the wealthy Benetton team, featuring Tony Kukoc, Terry Teagle (who later played for Fuenlabrada), and Stefano Rusconi, 59-55 in the final. A drunken binge with consequences in Limoges Those two days in Athens shaped the next two decades of European basketball, indelibly etching into its DNA the idea that to win titles, you had to try to hold your opponent to under 60 points, even if it meant sacrificing your own offense. Jure Zdovc, Michael Young, Richard Dacoury, Jim Bilba, Jimmy Verove, Willie Redden, Frederic Forte, and Franck Butter, with Maljkovic on the bench, starred in one of the greatest milestones in the history of European basketball at the Peace and Friendship Stadium in Athens.
