Who will be the 2009 Euroleague Champion?

The favorite changed hands four times in 53 days: Montepaschi Siena led first, followed by Olympiacos Piraeus, Panathinaikos Athens, then Olympiacos again. Panathinaikos reclaimed the lead in the final stretch and finished ahead at 31% in the closing checkpoint.

Yet Partizan Belgrade dominated the final tally with 53.2% and 638 votes, while Greece’s largest voting bloc leaned toward Olympiacos—not the eventual winner.
