Sarunas Jasikevicius to be honored as Euroleague Basketball Legend

One of 21st-century international basketball's most emblematic stars, Sarunas Jasikevicius, will be honored for the place he earned among the all-time greats when he is named a Euroleague Basketball Legend on Thursday before the Game of the Week between Zalgiris Kaunas and Real Madrid. Jasikevicius - known to fans far and wide by his nickname, Sharas - is now an assistant coach for Zalgiris Kaunas, having retired last summer after a 16-year professional career.  His four Euroleague titles are the second-most since 1980. He is the only player ever to become club champion of Europe with three different teams or to three-peat with more than one team.
