How The Real Madrid Basketball Team Could Actually Stack Up In The NBA

When you think of Real Madrid you probably just think of their soccer team. Think again.

On Saturday, February 25th I had the opportunity to attend the Real Madrid basketball game against former NBA head coach David Blatt’s, Darussafaka Dogus. Not only was the atmosphere absolutely electric, but this team sure knew how to play. Propelled by point guard wonder Sergio Llull, alongside former NBA player Anthony Randolph and 2018 NBA Draft sensation Luka Doncic, Real Madrid stormed past Dogus 101-83 to extend their Euroleague-best record of 18-5. Throughout the past seven years, Real Madrid has had 19 players either drafted or go on to play in the NBA, most notably Serge Ibaka.
