Yuri Korneev

Yuri Korneev (March 26, 1937 in Moscow, Soviet Union – June 17, 2002), was a Russian basketball player.

While a member of the Red Army club, Korneev won a EuroLeague championship in 1963.

In addition to that, Korneev helped CSKA to win five Soviet Union League championships.

Korneev left CSKA in the prime of his career, due to a Soviet rule at the time, that did not allow players above 25 years old to play for the Army-supported team.

Korneev was a regular member of the senior Soviet national basketball team.
