La polémica de Dame Sarr, que ha desobedecido al F.C. Barcelona para probar suerte en el Nike Hoops Summit, no es nueva en el baloncesto español.
“No sé quién le asesora, pero pensar que en plena temporada un chico se vaya a jugar un torneo en vez de estar en un Barça vs Madrid, al margen del compromiso que hay que tener con un equipo, nos deja descolocados a los que somos un poco mayores. Preferir eso, un torneo de chicos jóvenes, por muy prestigioso que sea, a jugar un partido así o un playoff o un play-in de Euroliga… Bueno, hay que adaptarse a los nuevos tiempos”, declaró Joan Peñarroya en Movistar + sobre el ‘caso Sarr’.
Biyombo fue llamado “traidor” por irse a jugar el Nike Hoops Summit : 14 años después ha ganado 100 millones
En 2011 Bismack Biyombo disputó el Nike Hoops Summit, el partido que enfrentará a un combinado de jugadores USA contra otro de jugadores de todo el mundo, sin permiso del Fuenlabrada.
A Biyombo le he dado de comer yo, no su agente. Si quiere ir a jugar a ese partido, allá él. Aquí no volverá a jugar. Es una traición
En ese momento su entrenador Salva Maldonado le amenazó con no volver a jugar en el equipo, y no volvió, y Ferrán López (director deportivo) le llamó traidor.
Si Biyombo coge el avión para ir a jugar una ‘pachanga’ de exhibición en Estados Unidos, puede despedirse de jugar en el primer equipo del Fuenlabrada
“A Biyombo le he dado de comer yo, no su agente. Si quiere ir a jugar a ese partido, allá él. Aquí no volverá a jugar. Es una traición”, llegó a decir Ferrán López en ‘Onda Madrid’.
“Si Biyombo coge el avión para ir a jugar una ‘pachanga’ de exhibición en Estados Unidos, puede despedirse de jugar en el primer equipo del Fuenlabrada… Que quede claro que es él el que abandona el equipo”, quiso dejar claro Salva Maldonado.
Biyombo fue llamado “traidor” por irse a jugar el Nike Hoops Summit : 14 años después ha ganado 100 millones
Poco después, y gracias a un histórico triple-doble de 12 puntos (5 de 7 en tiros de campo y 2 de 8 tiros libres), 11 rebotes (4 defensivos y 7 ofensivos) y ¡10 tapones! en 28 minutos, Biyombo fue seleccionado con el número 7 del Draft que le ha impulsado a jugar 14 temporadas en la NBA ganando casi 100 millones de dólares en su carrera.
En sus 862 partidos de temporada regular en la NBA el ex de Fuenlabrada logró unos promedios de 5,1 puntos, 5,9 rebotes y 1,3 tapones.
Nike Hoops Summit el partido que cambia vidas y forja estrella de la NBA
El Nike Hoop Summit cambió la vida de jugadores como Dirk Nowitzki, Tony Parker o Enes Kanter.
En su momento Sergi Vidal rompió con el Joventut para poder asistir a ese partido, y más recientemente Mirotic dejó al Palencia en mitad de curso para probar en un encuentro en el que cinco buenos minutos te pueden catapultar a la fama y valen más que horas de ‘scouting’ de los ojeadores NBA en Europa.
La clave del Nike Hoop Summit es que a los jugadores europeos les ven en vivo los equipos NBA y les pueden comparar cara a cara con los grandes talentos locales.
Oliver Fuentes fue el primer jugador español en disputar el Nike Hoop Summit
En cuanto a jugadores españoles que han participado en el Nike Hoop Summit, Nikola Mirotic fue el último representante en 2010, siguiendo la estela de Serge Ibaka (2008), Sergio Rodriguez (2004), Sergi Vidal (2000) y Oliver Fuentes (1995).

WASHINGTON — Top lefty reliever A.J. Minter is likely landing on the injured list, manager Carlos Mendoza said after the New York Mets’ 2-0 win over the Washington Nationals on Saturday.Minter walked off the mound in the middle of an at-bat during the eighth inning because, he said, he felt his triceps tighten. Minter is expected to get an MRI on Sunday. Echoing Mendoza, Minter said he anticipated going on the injured list.Advertisement“When you got a pitcher coming out of a game because of an arm,” Mendoza said, “even if we get good news, you still gotta be careful. But I don’t want to get ahead of myself. We gotta wait and see what we are dealing with here.”After throwing the ninth pitch of his outing, Minter grimaced, shook his head and walked around the mound. He exited with the […]
Ravens 2025 NFL Draft Takeaways: A huge class, and one controversial pick
Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta walked briskly into the auditorium at the Baltimore Ravens facility on Saturday night and acknowledged the obvious: “It was a long day.”The Ravens finished an 11-man draft class Saturday by making eight selections and two trades, including one with the New York Jets that improved their positioning on Day 3 of the 2026 Draft.AdvertisementAfter selecting Georgia safety Malaki Starks, Marshall edge rusher Mike Green and LSU offensive lineman Emery Jones Jr. over the first two days, the Ravens used Saturday to add two more offensive linemen, two cornerbacks, a defensive lineman, an inside linebacker, a wide receiver/return specialist and a kicker.When it was (mercifully) over, DeCosta had checked pretty much every box and added to every spot where the Ravens had an obvious need. It will take a few years before you can appropriately and […]

Fantasy football 2025 NFL Draft player grades: Every pick from Cam Ward to Brashard Smith and more
The 2025 NFL Draft might be done, but the excitement is still bubbling over. It’s time for NFL draft grades for fantasy football. If you haven’t seen this piece from past years, each player gets two grades. The first draft grade is redraft-only value (2025). The second is the player’s dynasty grade/potential.AdvertisementThe draft grades are weighted in tiers of sorts. A’s are your stars — players who can or will become a No. 1 at their position (RB1, TE1, etc.). For B’s, we’re talking about second and some third-tier starters in all leagues. When we get to C’s, those are fringe starters, maybe some boom/bust plays, etc. D’s are waiver wire players with maybe some Best Ball or the rare bye week/matchup play potential. Any player graded lower is a non-factor in fantasy.For those wanting to go deeper, you can […]
