Pelle Larsson is shining in the NBA and has more than doubled his scoring since last season. Can the blue-yellow star continue in the same style? If so, it is the best season a Swede has ever had, says SVT's basketball expert Nick Rajacic.
SportsThe former Swedish NBA player Jonas Jerebko, who for a longer time was suspended from the national team, now speaks out about being rejected from the European Championship squad. The veteran believes he did not get a sporting chance to be included since he was not allowed to participate in the selection camp. It is disrespectful, says the 38-year-old to Expressen.
SportsSweden starts the European Championship in basketball as underdog in the premiere against Finland. That's what Blue and Yellow hope to take advantage of. The key is that we keep up so it's even until the end. Then it can even be a disadvantage to play at home, says Sweden's team captain Ludvig Håkanson.
SportsNational basketball team's squad for the upcoming European Championship finals has been selected. Among the selected are NBA stars Pelle Larsson and Bobi Klintman. However, Jonas Jerebko is missing.
SportsIt is uncertain what kind of basketball form Jonas Jerebko is in and how it affects the previously suspended veteran's chances for the European Championship. Even if you train yourself and keep in shape, it's maybe something entirely different to play with match sequences, says national team coach Mikko Riipinen.
SportsJonas Jerebko's suspension from the national team has been lifted – three months prior to the European Championship. The former NBA star has spoken with the association about Swedish basketball's values after the criticized transfer to CSKA Moscow. "I hope we can move on from this now", says Chairwoman Susanne Jidesten.
SportsSweden's basketball players will play the European Championship for the first time in twelve years this summer. Hopefully with a hot NBA player on the team. The feeling is positive, says sports manager Lars Johansson.
