Cup of Russia
The European women's basketball system is very confusing. I know there's a "Euroleague" and a "Eurocup", and that the former is major league and the latter is minor league.
I also know that some (all?) countries have their own championships. The games played for the country leagues must be separate from the Euroleague/Eurocup games, because the Russian league has rules about how many non-Russians and how many Americans can be on the court at one time, and the European leagues don't. So this means the same team will be playing two seasons at the same time.
I think.
At any rate, Svetlana Abrosimova and Sue Bird's Russian team (UMMC Ekaterinburg) won the Cup of Russia and Sue Bird was the MVP.
