FC Barcelona duo Jabari Parker and Rokas Jokubaitis took part in the EuroLeague quiz, where they had to choose from the "Old school" and "New school" options.

The topics ranged from food to music, and one of the questions was Best-of-5 Finals versus the Final Four. Both players chose the first option.

"Two years in a row, we came as the favorites in the Final Four [but] we just lost to Madrid for the first time in the season [and that was it]," Jokubaitis argued his choice. "We beat them 5 or 6 times in a row, and [in] one game, our season was finished."

"I mean, [the Final Four] is not a bad format, don't get me wrong, but for sure, [if] the series would be like the playoffs till 3 wins, I'd agree to it," Jokubaitis added.

Indeed, Barcelona reached the Final Four for three seasons in a row but didn't come out victorious on all three occasions.

Currently, the Spanish powerhouse enjoys another great regular season campaign, having a 5-1 record which is good enough for the 2nd place in the standings.
