The Team told us this Saturday: the union of Jeep Elite players has decided on a strike for the quarterfinals of the final phase, established by the National Basketball League (LNB) last May. “We made compromises but there is no more gas,” explained the president of the union and Paris Basketball player Amara Sy.
A decision to which the French international Evan Fournier (69 caps), who plays today in the NBA at the Boston Celtics, did not fail to react on Twitter. And he doesn’t seem to be in favor of the strike decided by the Jeep Elite players. “Frankly guys, you’re not serious. I still have the impression that you are endangering your livelihood, ”he tweeted on Saturday afternoon, referring to“ an ecosystem ”that needs to restart:“ Tomorrow, you don’t play, the sponsors / partners leave, you have more work ”.

Tony Parker had already stepped up in favor of the Final Eight
Suspended in late October due to re-containment, the Jeep Elite played sporadically for four months and had to catch up in early March, straining the organism of players. But Tony Parker, president of ASVEL, had banged his fist on the table in May in the columns of L’Equipe following the initiative of the captains of Jeep Elite, who had asked the LNB to give up the holding of a Final Eight: “When you see that the NBA players have made 72 matches,“ back-to-back ”on“ back-to-back ”(2 matches in two days) this year. We rested, we played from November to February one or two matches a month and then we don’t even want to play. Frankly, this is a joke! “. Before moving on: “For me, finishing in the regular season is not simply the formula or how basketball works. We are the play-offs. This is what brings basketball to life, it is the true identity of basketball ”.
