Hapoel Tel Aviv players Antonio Blakeney and Elijah Bryant shared the EuroLeague MVP award for Week 8, marking an unprecedented achievement for the club. The duo, who both registered a performance index rating of 35, led their team to a dominant 118-88 victory over Anadolu Efes on Wednesday.
This shared award makes them the third pair from the same team to receive the honor since the EuroLeague's inception in the early 2000s. They follow in the footsteps of Mirsad Türkcan and Alphonso Ford of Siena in 2002, and Luka Dončić and Gustavo Ayón of Real Madrid in 2017.
With this latest recognition, Hapoel Tel Aviv has now secured the EuroLeague MVP award four times after just eight rounds of play. This makes them the first team in the league's history to achieve this milestone so early in the season.
Previous Hapoel Tel Aviv MVP winners this season include Elijah Bryant in Week 2 and Week 3, and Zach LeDay alongside T.J. Shorts in Week 7.
