Player career

societies

Basarewitsch first played for the army sports club CSKA from his hometown Moscow. While you could refer to the second place in the Soviet national championship Žalgiris Kaunas from 1983 to 1984 , you reached after nine championships in a row against the Lithuanian rival from 1985 on three times in a row only the runner-up. In 1988 they remained victorious against Žalgiris and won the championship again, the third at that time for Bazarevich with CSKA. He then moved to local rivals and KGB sports club Dynamo , with whom he was runner-up behind ZSKA in 1990. In 1992 one again reached a third place in the championship of the Commonwealth of Independent States .

After he had returned to the Russian champions CSKA at the beginning of the 1992/93 season, Basarewtisch was committed in December 1992 by the Yıldırım sports club from Istanbul , a newcomer to the Turkish top division Türkiye Basketbol Ligi . With nine wins from the last sixteen league games, the club achieved relegation and the qualifying round for the championship play-offs . Then Bazarevich moved for the 1993/94 season to the sports club Tofaş from Bursa , with whom he was eliminated in the quarter-final play-offs for the championship.

Basarevich originally wanted to move to Italy for the 1994/95 season . After a brilliant basketball world championship in 1994 , the NBA club Atlanta Hawks gave him a contract. After ten games, however, Basarevich was dismissed in December and he moved to the Spanish ACB league for the club from Cáceres . The previous year's fifth in the Spanish championship lost the semi-finals in the Korać Cup , in which Basarevich could no longer be registered and was therefore not eligible, against the eventual German title winner Alba Berlin . In the championship they missed qualifying for the play-offs.

For the 1995/96 season Bazarevich returned to Russia to Dynamo Moscow, in which they were again defeated CSKA in the Russian championship in the fifth and decisive final game. In the European Cup Winners' Cup you reached the semi-finals, which were lost to the eventual title winner Taugrés Vitoria . In the 1996/97 season, Bazarevich played again for CSKA, with whom he won the championship in Russia. For the 1997/98 season he again signed a contract in Turkey, this time with Türk Telekomspor from Ankara . Here, however, he was only used in the games of the FIBA Europaliga , in which they were eliminated in the intermediate round. In March 1998 he returned to CSKA and was able to win the Russian championship again.

In the 1998/99 season, Basarewitsch first played in a lower class in Russia, before he was obliged at the turn of the year by the Italian first division returnee Union Ginnastica from Gorizia . At the end of the season they ended up on a relegation zone because of the poorer direct comparison . In the 1999/2000 season, Basarewitsch played in the A1 Ethniki for the Greek cup winner PAOK from Thessaloniki . They reached the Greek runner-up behind the European league winner Panathinaikos Athens . In the FIBA ​​European League itself, they were eliminated in the round of 16 against the eventual finalist Maccabi Tel Aviv .

In 2000, the Union des Ligues Européennes de Basketball , in which the most important southern and western European clubs were organized, split from FIBA ​​and founded its own European league called the ULEB Euroleague . Since various associations, especially those from Eastern Europe, did not want to allow the spin-off and prohibited their associations from participating or preferring to take part in the original competition, a group of investors founded their own Russian association, Lions , based in Saint Petersburg , which only participated in the ULEB Euroleague competition. Basarewitsch was one of the signed players, but could not prevent the ULEB Euroleague 2000/01 that the club was eliminated in the first group stage. Then Bazarevich played for Pallacanestro Telit from the Italian city of Trieste, among other things, in the FIBA ​​Korać Cup competition, in which they were eliminated in the quarterfinals. In the championship, relegation could still be achieved.

As early as 1984 Bazarevich succeeded in winning the European Championship with the junior national team of the Soviet Union. Four years later he was appointed to the senior national team for the first time. His first major tournament was the 1990 World Cup in Argentina.

The team from the players of the CIS countries remained without a medal and took 4th place. In the next major tournaments, Russia appeared as an independent team. At the European Championship in 1993 and the World Cup in 1994, the Russians won the silver medals and Bazarevich was one of the leading players on his team. At the 1994 World Cup he was elected to the All-Tournament Team. This was his most successful year in the national team. After a few years break, Basarevich took part in the end of his national team career in 2000 at the Olympic Games in Sydney and finished there in 8th place.
