Vesely named 7DAYS Magic Moment of the Season winner

The fans' votes have been counted and the winner of the 7DAYS Magic Moment of the Season is…Jan Vesely!

Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul's star center takes the award for a spectacular play that came with a lot of help from his teammates during Fenerbahce's home win over Zenit St Petersburg in Round 24.

Receiving the ball on the perimeter, Vesely passed inside to Nando De Colo, who moved it along the baseline to Edgaras Ulanovas in the corner. Ulanovas slipped as he drove inside but was still able to release a perfectly-timed assist into the stride of Vesely, who took delivery on the free-throw line and immediately soared high for a fierce left-handed dunk.

In the final round of voting, Vesely's play overcame a spectacular dunk in Game 4 of the playoffs by Paul Zipser of FC Bayern Munich.

Vesely has now been voted the 7DAYS Magic Moment of the Season winner for the third time in just five seasons of the award's existence. The Czech star also topped the voting in 2017-18 and 2018-19, while Anthony Randolph won the inaugural award in 2017 and Deni Avdija was last season's recipient.
