Vladimir Stankovic (2000 and 2005) and a Saporta Cup. The Saporta Cup final was played in Nicosia, Cyprus, on April 15, 1997. The opponent was Scaligera Basket Verona. Real Madrid, coached by Zeljko Obradovic, and with Dejan Bodiroga as the best scorer in the competition (20.2 points), won 78-64. Herreros scored 19 points with great numbers: 5 of 5 two-pointers, 2 of 3 triples and 3 of 3 from the stripe. It was his only European title at the club level. Real Madrid had a powerful team, with Bodiroga, Herreros, Joe Arlauckas, Alberto Angulo and Juan Antonio Orenga. But it had failed to make the EuroLeague that year. In the EuroLeague, the closest Hererros came to a title was in the1991-92 season. Estudiantes took part in the Final Four in Istanbul that year but fell in the semis to Joventut Badalona in an all-Spanish game. Joventut was led by Jordi Villacampa with 28 points and the final score was 69-91. Curiously, Estudiantes had defeated Partizan Belgrade twice in the group stage, 75-95 and 75-72, as the Serbian team had to play its home games in Fuenlabrada, Spain – near Madrid – under FIBA orders due to the war in the former Yugoslavia. However, Partizan would win the final against Joventut thanks to the famous three-pointer by Sasha Djordjevic in the last seconds. Such is basketball. Estudiantes had a great team in its first participation in the EuroLeague that year, under a new format, with three representatives from the most powerful countries in the sport. We must not forget that FIBA applied this formula one year before UEFA did it with the Champions League in 1992-93. The averages for Winslow were 18.5 points, Herreros had 18.0, Pinone had 14.3 and Orenga 11.2. Estudiantes was the first team to debut in the competition and make the Final Four the same season. Even without winning titles, Alberto Herreros left his imprint on European competitions. His personal record of 42 points was achieved on December 7, 1993, in a 97-81 loss against Reggio Emilia. He was almost perfect: 10 of 11 two-pointers, 5 of 7 threes, 7 of 7 from the line. His thing was scoring. A lot. But once, against Bayer Leverkusen in the Korac Cup, he pulled down 10 rebounds. Not bad for a player just 1.99 meters tall! EuroBasket, World Cup top scorer Alberto Herreros made his debut for the Spanish national team in 1990 against Czechoslovakia, scoring his first 11 points. Until 2003 he would be a major factor on the team, an important scorer in all competitions. His average in FIBA events was 12.5 points, from the 10.5 at the 1990 World Cup in Argentina to the 3.3 at the 2003 EuroBasket in Sweden. His best moments with the team were, without a doubt, silver-medal finishes at the 1999 and 2003 EuroBaskets. In the latter, in Paris, his average was 19.2 points. He was the best scorer and a member of the all-tournament team with Carlton Myers, Andrea Meneghin, Dejan Bodiroga and Gregor Fucka. Herreros’s best average in a World Cup had happened a year before in Athens. Spain finished fifth in 1998, but Herreros, with 17.9 points, was the top scorer over Mohamed Acha of Nigeria (17.5), Arturas Karnisovas of Lithuania (17.1), Shane Heal of Australia (17.0), Andrew Gaze of Australia (16.9) and Puerto Rico’s Jose “Piculin” Ortiz (16.5). Herreros was a born scorer with a great wrist, a fast man who could score a lot on the break, but his best weapon was his shot. He didn’t care if he launched two- or three-pointers. Whenever he had the minimum 140 141
NBA even though the Indiana Pacers took an interest in him. But his world was European basketball for Real Madrid and the Spanish national team. Since his retirement, he has been working as sports director for Real Madrid. Alberto Herreros space, he took the shot – and succeeded most of the time, which is most important. His personal high in the Spanish League was 38 points against Leon. On December 29, 1998, he played in a FIBA all-star game in Berlin. He was a starting member of the West team, who lost to the East 104-98 in one of his last events of this kind. Herreros was never drafted into the 101 greats of european basketball H
