Dee Bost is Basketball Champions League MVP of Gameday 12

You know what comes to mind when you hear the name Dee Bost?

Well, watching the SIG Strasbourg guard do the business on both ends of the floor is Dee-lightful, at least for his team's fans and of course, the neutrals. He is something else! When Bost shifts into a higher gear on a fast break, he's a blur. Forget chasing him because you're not going to catch him.

Bost is Dee-stabilizing for the opponents. He had 4 steals in Tuesday's 88-87 Group C triumph at AEK in Greek.

He also had a clutch play on defense at the very end when Kenny Barlow was about to launch a potential game-winning 3-pointer. Bost ran hard at Barlow, got a hand in the face and forced him to double-pump and travel to seal the victory for the visitors.

Most of all, Bost is Dee-serving of the Gameday 12 MVP award.


Having struggled earlier this season with plantar fasciitis, which cost him his spot in the Zalgiris Kaunas rotation, Bost parted amicably with the Lithuanian club and returned to France.

It's the country where he had been so successful before with AS Monaco, helping them get to the Basketball Champions League Final Four last year. His intention was to get minutes, get back to his best and of course win.

He joined Strasbourg in December and after struggling to meet his lofty expectations, Bost looked to be back to his best against AEK. Bost finished with 23 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds and those 4 steals that show just how hard he works on both ends of the floor.

Most important for him, and the club, was the triumph that lifted the club into fourth place at 7-5. Only Group C leaders Banvit (9-3) have clinched a spot in the Play-Offs.
