The '''2000–01 FIBA SuproLeague''' was [[FIBA Europe]]'s professional [[sports club|club]] basketball tournament for the 2000–01 season. Up until that season, there was one cup, the FIBA European Champions' Cup (which is now called the [[EuroLeague]]), though in this season of 2000–01, the leading European teams split into two competitions: the FIBA SuproLeague and [[Euroleague Basketball Company]]'s [[2000–01 Euroleague|Euroleague 2000–01]].

The season started on 18 October 2000, and ended on 13 May 2001. The [[2001 FIBA SuproLeague Final Four|competition's Final Four]] took place at [[Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy]], in [[Paris]], France. The 2000–01 SuproLeague was the last European top tier club competition organised by FIBA.

==European Champions' Cup teams divided==
{{main|FIBA European Champions Cup and EuroLeague history}}
The European Champions' Cup was originally established by [[FIBA Europe|FIBA]] and it operated under its umbrella from 1958 until the summer of 2000, concluding with the [[1999–2000 FIBA Euroleague|1999–2000 season]]. [[Euroleague Basketball]] was created on 1 July 2000.

FIBA had never trademarked the "EuroLeague" name and had no [[legal recourse]] on the usage of that name. Therefore, FIBA had to find a new name for their league and chose "''SuproLeague''". The 2000–01 season started with two top European professional club basketball competitions: the FIBA SuproLeague (renamed from the FIBA EuroLeague) and the brand new [[2000–01 Euroleague|Euroleague]].

Top clubs were split between the two leagues: [[Panathinaikos B.C.|Panathinaikos]], [[Maccabi Tel Aviv B.C.|Maccabi Tel Aviv]], [[PBC CSKA Moscow|CSKA Moscow]], and [[Anadolu Efes S.K.|Efes Pilsen]] stayed with FIBA, while [[Olympiacos B.C.|Olympiacos]], [[Virtus Pallacanestro Bologna|Kinder Bologna]], [[Real Madrid Baloncesto|Real Madrid]], [[FC Barcelona Bàsquet|FC Barcelona]], [[Saski Baskonia|Tau Cerámica]], and [[Pallacanestro Treviso|Benetton Treviso]] joined Euroleague Basketball.

==Competition system and format==
* 20 teams (national domestic league champions, and runners-up from various national domestic leagues), playing in a [[tournament|tournament system]].

The first phase was a regular season, in which the twenty competing teams were drawn into two groups, each containing ten teams. Each team played every other team in its group at home and away, resulting in 18 games for each team. The top 8 teams in each group advanced to the Round of 16, and the winners of this round advanced to the Quarterfinals. Both of the rounds were played in a [[Best-of-three playoff]] system. The winning teams of the Quarterfinals qualified to the [[SuproLeague Final Four]], which was held in the [[Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy]], in [[Paris]], on 10–13 May 2001.

==Two continental champions==
In May 2001, Europe had two continental champions, [[Maccabi Tel Aviv B.C.|Maccabi Tel Aviv]] of the FIBA SuproLeague and [[Virtus Pallacanestro Bologna|Kinder Bologna]] of [[Euroleague Basketball Company]]'s [[EuroLeague]]. The leaders of both organizations realized the need to come up with a new single competition. Negotiating from the position of strength, Euroleague Basketball Company dictated proceedings and FIBA essentially had no choice but to agree to their terms. As a result, the EuroLeague was fully integrated under Euroleague Basketball Company's umbrella, and teams that competed in the FIBA SuproLeague during the 2000–01 season joined it as well. It is today officially admitted that European basketball had two champions that year, Maccabi of the FIBA SuproLeague and Kinder Bologna of the Euroleague Basketball Company's EuroLeague.

==Formation of the Euroleague==
A year later, [[Euroleague Basketball Company]] and FIBA decided that Euroleague Basketball's EuroLeague competition would be the main basketball tournament on the continent, to be played between the top-level teams of Europe. [[FIBA Europe]] from 2002 would also organize a European league for [[European professional club basketball system|third-tier level]] teams, known as the [[EuroChallenge|FIBA Europe League]] competition, while Euroleague Basketball would also organize its own second-tier level league, combining FIBA's long-time [[FIBA Saporta Cup]] and [[FIBA Korać Cup]] competitions into one new competition, the [[EuroCup Basketball|EuroCup]]. In 2005, Euroleague Basketball and FIBA decided to cooperate with each other and did so until 2016.

In essence, the authority in European professional basketball was divided over club-country lines. FIBA stayed in charge of national team competitions (like the [[FIBA EuroBasket]], the [[FIBA World Cup]], and the [[Basketball at the Summer Olympics|Summer Olympics]]), while Euroleague Basketball took over the European professional club competitions. From that point on, [[FIBA Saporta Cup]] and [[FIBA Korać Cup]] competitions lasted only one more season before folding, which was when Euroleague Basketball launched the [[EuroCup Basketball|EuroCup]].
