A brand-new decade kicked off in EuroLeague with the nine Round 17 games played on January 2nd and 3rd. The first half of the regular season is now over, and the last round of the first half will make its mark in the books with milestones, debuts, surprises, and redemption.<\/p>\n

EuroLeague Round 17 Recap<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Vassilis Spanoulis is the G.O.A.T.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Before Round 17, Vassilis Spanoulis<\/strong><\/a> was EuroLeague\u2019s all-time leader in assists, index rating, minutes played, drawn fouls, and free throws made. In Round 17, he became EuroLeague\u2019s all-time leader in points. He needed ten points to surpass the legendary Juan Carlos Navarro<\/strong><\/a> (4,152 career points) for the top spot before the home clash against Fenerbah\u00e7e Beko.<\/p>\n

Spanoulis, the embodiment of a clutch-time player, scored ten of his 14 points in the fourth quarter. The moment when he got the crown could not be more Spanoulis-like: Sizing up a bigger guy beyond the three-point line, stepping to his right before shooting over him, draining it as usual.<\/p>\n
