KAREEM A CHAMP

By on October 4, 2020

Kareem Queeley has joined a select group of Brits by lifting a European trophy.

At the conclusion of a delayed Final Eight, held centrally in Athens, the Great Britain prospect was confined to the bench as his Spanish club, Burgos, stunned AEK Athens 85-74 to win the 2020 Basketball Champions League.

Thad McFadden had a game-high 18 points, and grabbed six rebounds and dished out five assists in the final.

19-year-old Queeley, who grew up in Leicester, joined Burgos from Real Madrid in the summer of 2019 but spent part of the season on loan at Burgos’ second team in the lower tier EBA before earning a recall.

Only Andrew Betts, Pops Mensah-Bonsu, Joel Freeland, Steve Hansell, Jo Leedham and the late Robert Archibald have previously brought a European title medal back to the UK.

Milwaukee Bucks star and now two-time NBA MVP, Giannis Antetokounmpo watched the contest courtside.

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.
