The London Lions continue their remarkable run of success, following their recent EuroCup victory along with clinching their second consecutive British Basketball League title over the weekend. Head coach Petar Bozic has led the Lions to dominance, with the team displaying exceptional talent and securing the league title with just three losses throughout the season.
Despite facing challenges such as injuries to key players like reigning MVP Sam Dekker, the Lions have been propelled by the stellar performances of the entire roster. Notable signings like former NBA shooting guard David Nwaba have further strengthened the team, alongside the development of homegrown talents like Gabe Olaseni and Ciaran Sandy.
Looking ahead, the Lions are setting their sights on European success, as they gear up for a crucial EuroCup match against Romanian side Cluj-Napoca. The team is focused on securing qualification to the prestigious EuroLeague, signaling their determination to compete at the highest level in Europe.
Head coach Bozic expressed his pride in the team’s unity and performance, emphasizing the players’ willingness to work together and share the ball on the court. The Lions’ success has been supported by significant investment from 777 Partners, a Miami-based private equity firm that has injected over £37 million into British Basketball, marking a pivotal moment in the sport’s history.
