The Turkish Efes Pilsen defeated the Italian Stefanel Milano in the final.

Saffet Bulut, who was the mayor of Bahçelievler, promised Efes that if they brought the trophy to Turkey, he would erect a statue of the team's success in the most beautiful place in the district.

After Efes Pilsen won the Korać Cup, the mayor decided to erect a statue symbolizing the victory.

Two months later Saffet Bulut met with the Mayor of Istanbul, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and asked him why the statue was removed.
