Nadir Hifi, the leader of Paris Basket, denounced racist behavior against him during a Eurocup match in Badalona, Spain on Tuesday evening. “I’ve never seen that in my entire life. Monkey cries during our match in Badalona… It’s 2023 and there’s still nothing changing, it’s very serious” wrote the Franco-Algerian on his X account after the success in Paris (101-94).
His teammate, German-Swiss Michael Kessens, added in response to the tweet: “I don’t know which is worse. The racist behavior of @Penya1930 supporters [compte du Club Joventut Badalona] or the fact that this shit happens every year and nothing changes. Cowardly behavior from fans who seem to think it is acceptable and normal. Are you going to do something about this @Eurocup? »
I don’t know what’s worse: the racist behavior of @Penya1930 fans or the fact that this shit happens every year without anything changing.
Cowardly behavior from fans who seem to think that it’s acceptable and normal.
Are you guys gonna do anything about this @EuroCup? https://t.co/pD8MBXeqqX

Contacted, the player’s entourage did not respond to our requests this Wednesday afternoon. Same thing for Euroleague Basketball, organizer of the competition, requested by AFP.
