After introducing Jokubaitis, Shani highlighted how a great moment it is to follow the EuroLeague, with the most important games of the season coming up.

The conversation continued with the latest transfers and how [AS Monaco](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/as-monaco/mco/) head coach [Vassilis Spanoulis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/as-monaco/mco/spanoulis-vassilis/) persuaded [Daniel Theis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/daniel-theis/004132/) to join his team, and a discussion about how should earn MVP of the Month honors in February. Finally, everyone looked ahead at Round 27 and what's at stake, including the Rivalry Series Game of the Week, [Real Madrid](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/real-madrid/mad/) vs. [FC Barcelona](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/fc-barcelona/bar/).
