By Sam Neter on May 7, 2019

Great Britain’s Ovie Soko has been named to the Basketball Champions League Star Lineup Second Best Team after another standout season with ACB side UCAM Murcia.

Soko led Murcia to a 13-1 record through the season, finishing atop of Group A, before exiting in the first round of the playoffs to eventual Final Four team Telenet Giants Antwerp. He adds his all-league honours to his cabinet after being named first-team last year.

Soko was joined by James Feldeine (Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem), Paris Lee (Telenet Giants Antwerp), Amath M’Baye (Segafredo Virtus Bologna), and Colton Iverson (Iberostar Tenerife), whilst it was Segafredo Virtus Bologna who won the title in Antwerp.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
