The 1963/64 EuroLeague season brought together 23 teams; however, two of them withdrew before the tournament, including the reigning EuroLeague champions – CSKA Moscow. The Soviets sometimes skipped the European Cups when they were preparing for the upcoming Olympic Games, and this was such a case.
The withdrawal of CSKA meant that this was the first EuroLeague season in history without any teams from the Soviet Union taking part in it. This also opened the path to the title for all the other leading European sides, and it was clear that EuroLeague will have a non-Soviet winner for the first time.
The Spanish League champions Real Madrid already had some EuroLeague Finals experience, and they finally were able to win their first EuroLeague title. The 27-year-old Spanish forward, Emiliano Rodriguez, took the leadership role in Real’s roster, and he had a stellar run throughout the season, averaging 26.8 points per game, and finishing second in the Top Scorer award race. Rodriguez was just slightly behind the Spartak Brno’s forward – František Konvička, who scored 246 points in 10 games, averaging 24.6 points per game, becoming the 1963/64 EuroLeague Top Scorer.
Rodriguez and Konvička had a great duel in the Finals, but the Spanish side was more consistent, and they successfully concluded their title run in front of their fans in Madrid with a 84-64 win. Emiliano Rodriguez was the Finals MVP, averaging 29.5 points per game.
