In the final episode of the season, Evan Fournier joins MVP Talk after becoming EuroLeague Final Four MVP and helping Olympiacos complete a story years in the making.

From the 2022 tweet that connected him to Olympiacos, to the emotional move from the NBA back to Europe, Fournier reflects on the journey that led him to Athens, the pressure of the Final Four, the bond with the fans, and the celebrations in Piraeus after ending a 13-year wait.

He also opens up about the semifinal mindset, the Championship Game against Real Madrid, the free throws that helped close the final, life in Greece, and why winning with Olympiacos felt bigger than basketball.

The EuroLeague playoff picture comes into sharp focus in Episode 7 of EuroLeague & Friends, as the discussion moves from regular season narratives to Final Four expectations. Are there truly four teams a step ahead of the rest?

The panel examines the cases for Olympiacos B.C., Real Madrid Baloncesto, Fenerbahçe Beko, and Panathinaikos B.C. - and whether the gap is real or about to be tested in the playoffs. One of the season’s defining stories is the emergence of Valencia Basket, led by Coach of the Year Pedro Martínez, whose fast-paced system and consistency pushed them into the top tier conversation.

The episode also dives into:

• Why consistency keeps Olympiacos among the elite
• How Real Madrid’s experience still makes them dangerous
• What makes Fenerbahçe and Panathinaikos legitimate title contenders

As the playoffs begin, one theme is clear: no series will be simple, and every contender will have to earn its path.
