25 greatest Euroleague players ever: The HoopsHype list
Four years ago, the NBA released its NBA75 list honoring its greatest players in the league’s 75th anniversary. When that happened, we created our own list, which we have updated annually with one new inclusion each time.
After reaching the 25th anniversary of the post-FIBA era, the Euroleague compiled its own Top 25 players ever, so we’re following the same approach with basketball’s premier competition outside the NBA.
The HoopsHype list features 21 of the 25 names from the official selection. Notable absences in our ranking include Luka Doncic and Manu Ginobili, both eventual NBA stars with brief and dominant Euroleague stints. It’s precisely because these superstars left European competition early that they are not included since we prioritized longevity and sustained excellence in the Euroleague here.
Without further ado, here’s our ranking of the 25 greatest Euroleague players of the modern era.
