Club Team 2008-09: REAL MADRID (Spain-ACB)
Career: Estudiantes Madrid (Spain-ACB, 1998-2004), Real Madrid (Spain-ACB, 2004-09)
Named MVP of the strong ACB league, playing for powerhouse Real Madrid, and married just a few weeks after, Felipe Reyes will try to add at EuroBasket 2009 a new motive of joy to his so far great year. Smaller brother of Spanish legend Alfonso Reyes, Felipe is one of the best rebounders in European basketball, but he has steadily become much more than that: good mid-range shooting, great low post movements and, most important, a huge winning mentality keeps him always on the frontline when the big battle starts. EuroBasket 2009 will be his fifth, though he is only 29, and he wants his fourth medal. Gold, please, he would point out.
