And there is plenty to discuss ahead of Round 34, which marks the final time there will be a full lineup of games in the EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge.

Frankie starts by explaining why he is staying away from players whose teams have already been eliminated and then issues a heartfelt thank you to three of his favorite players from the season who won't suit up for him again: [Theo Maledon](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/theo-maledon/007027/), [Roman Sorkin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/roman-sorkin/011219/) and [David McCormack](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/david-mccormack/013386/). Vasiliki continues with an analysis of the Olympiacos Piraeus backcourt situation and which players she sees on the rise.

While both Frankie and Vasiliki see eye to eye on their coaches and several players for Round 34, it’s interesting to hear why they move in different directions on the rest of the roster. This week the Round begins at 20:00 CEST with games tipping off simultaneously in Germany and France, so make sure to have your lineups finalized by then. And, as always, good luck, fantasy fans.

EuroLeague 25 Moments: When Panathinaikos took Virtus’s crown in 2002

The 2002 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Championship Game will forever be remembered by the three-point shot [Ibrahim Kutluay](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/ibrahim-kutluay/abi/) made to give [Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/panathinaikos-aktor-athens/pan/) a decisive five-point lead against reigning champion Virtus Segafredo Bologna inside the last minute.

Virtus was playing on its home floor and had the hope of becoming back-to-back champs, but Zeljko Obradovic’s Panathinaikos stepped up late to secure an eventual 83-89 victory. That was the Greens’ first EuroLeague championship in the modern era.

Hear from Ibrahim Kutluay, [Darryl Middleton](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/darryl-middleton/apo/), Zeljko Obradovic and [Fragiskos Alvertis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/fragiskos-alvertis/aph/) as they reflect on that famous 2002 title success in the latest episode of the EuroLeague 25 moments series.

The Greens defeated the reigning champion on the road

On April 7 in 2023, Kevin Punter drained a clutch three-pointer with 16 seconds left to secure an 84-88 road win for Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade at AS Monaco in Round 33 of the regular season, which clinched a playoff berth for the Serbian giants. 

On This Day: When Kevin Punter sent Partizan to the playoffs

On April 7 in 2023, [Kevin Punter](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/kevin-punter/009862/) drained a clutch three-pointer with 16 seconds left to secure [an 84-88 road win](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/partizan-seals-playoff-spot-with-road-win-at-monaco-84-88/) for Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade at AS Monaco in Round 33 of the regular season, which clinched a playoff berth for the Serbian giants.

"It was amazing cause so many different things were going through my mind," Punter says. "We started the season extremely slow. No one thought we would be in that situation, that position. Partizan hadn’t been in the EuroLeague for 8-10 years if I’m not mistaken. So to finally be in the EuroLeague after so long, with Coach Obradovic, and we know how much he means to basketball and to do it with Partizan, it was special."

Punter's late three-pointer secured a road win and a playoff berth for Partizan
