The 1989/90 EuroLeague season brought 27 teams. The KK Split (formerly Jugoplastika) team was able to defend their 1989 title, reaching the EuroLeague Final once again, and beating the Spanish side – Barcelona BC.
The Yugoslav team was led by its talented trio – Toni Kukoč, Dino Rada and Duško Ivanovic. They all finished the season Top 10 in scoring. KK Split rarely faced any losses on their way to the title, losing just three games out of 18. Kukoč was brilliant in the Final Four stage, winning both most important individual accolades of this tournament – Final Four and Finals MVP awards. He scored 20 points in the final against Barcelona.
The Spanish side had a strong start of the season, finishing the 1/4 Final round with just two losses in 14 games. They managed to easily get past the Greek side – Aris, leaving them no chances, getting a comfortable 104-83 win. Barcelona showed some solid defense in the Final against the Yugoslavs, but Kukoč had a more balanced team around him offensively. Talented forward led his team to a 72-67 win, bringing second consecutive EuroLeague title to Split.
Individually, the Greek superstar – Nikos Galis was putting up incredible offensive numbers, helping Aris team to reach the Final Four stage. The 33-year-old Greek veteran finished season with 644 points, averaging an incredible 37.9 points per game in 17 appearances on the EuroLeague courts. Galis easily won the Top Scorer award. He surpassed his closest rival for this award by more than 150 points.
