A shepherd lost a goat in the mists of time. The search for him took him to walk along Mount Parnassus, near the current town of Delphi, until, suddenly, he saw vapors emerging from a grotto; As he approached the curious cave he had a revelation and began to prophesy. He wasn’t the only one. It is difficult to attribute to this classic story of the Greco-Latin tradition, whose voice was that of Diodorus Siculus, the first divination in history; in the same way that it cannot be said that the brilliant baskets of Steph Furry, the ‘Champions’ fortune teller dog’, are going to be the last.
The story of the pleasant dog, a corgi with a talent for basketball and an elf, magic, for divination – in addition to the name in tribute to Stephen Curry -, went viral after guessing the winners of the quarter-final round of the Champions League . So there have been many who have made a pilgrimage through their mobile phone to locate his temple, at the top of some stairs, and in search of his wisdom. So much so that his predictions have crossed sporting boundaries and have penetrated the mental field of basketball.
Two very different semi-finals
Their divinations work in the following way: they throw a ball to the small and attentive Steph, which is understood to be plastic due to its speed, and the dog returns the ball with an intelligent headbutt, which falls down the stairs until it enters one of the two baskets. located on the first step. Each basket has a sticker and corresponds to a semi-finalist: the first to score three points, meaning a point that fits inside, and completes the word ‘win’, will win the round.
It might seem even, but the astute Steph Furry doesn’t think so. The outcome of the first match of the ACB Playoffs, which pits Unicaja against UCAM Murcia, is transparent in the eyes of the dog: three shots, many rebounds and a 3-0 that gives the victory to the Murcians. Furry has spoken.
The same did not happen with the duel between Real Madrid and Barcelona. After the blaugranas took the lead with an almost clean shot, the whites tied the tie; Grimau’s team once again took the lead, then the team led by Chus Mateo tied. A single shot, two baskets. And Furry. Always Furry. He flies the ball from the top of the stairs, bounces off Barcelona’s basket and, pushed by the force of the inexplicable, falls into Real Madrid’s basket. The whites, to the final.
