In 1975 the EuroBasket was held in Yugoslavia, with the grand final being held in Belgrade. After passing the previous rounds, the fight for the medals was, for Gold, between the local Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union, and for Bronze, between Italy and Bulgaria. The final was won by the Yugoslavs by a tight score (90-84), with Kikanovic (22 points) and Belov (29 points) as the best players on each side
The ’75 NBA was for the Golden State Warriors. It was like an oasis on the road for the franchise, since they had to wait 19 years to win, and then they had to wait 40 years, until 2015, to play the ring again. The final was against the Washington Bullets, and we didn’t really have a playoff, as the Warriors won by a landslide (4-0), with Rick Barry as the absolute star
The competition starts with 24 teams, there were two qualifying rounds from which REAL MADRID, VARESE, AS BASKET, ZADAR and CSKA MOSCOW were exempted
