The conquest of Unicaja of the Copa del Rey de las Palmas still resonates deeply. Just three days after the team lifted the trophy, the Endesa League has released an emotional video showcasing the euphoria that overflowed in the Gran Canaria Arena locker room. This intimate celebration is a beautiful testament to the team’s camaraderie and joy.
A Glimpse into Unicaja’s Jubilation
The video features unpublished images of the entire Malaga team, including players and coaching staff, letting loose and celebrating as if there was no tomorrow. A standout moment comes when Yankuba Sima, the team’s pivot, takes on the role of master of ceremonies and improvised interviewer, referring to the scene as “blessed madness.” With a microphone in hand, he captures the essence of the team’s elation.
A Unique Coaching Moment
One of the most memorable moments from the celebration is the surprise bath given by coach Ibon Navarro. In a light-hearted move, he arrived at the locker room in flip flops, short pants, and a shirt, opting not to spoil his suit as had happened during the last celebration. Instead, he jumped into a small plastic bathtub, trophy in hand, as if they were sharing a secret – a moment that has now been immortalized for fans to cherish.
