NEWCASTLE (Paul Nilsen's Women's Basketball Worldwide) - It may be a little disrespectful to go overboard with descriptions of a fairytale first EuroLeague Women title for ZVVZ USK Prague.

But that is exactly what it still feels like after the Czech club secured a historic maiden success as underdogs against the might of favourites UMMC.

It was a thrilling conclusion to the Euroleague Women season and here is my A-Z of this year's Final Four.

A is for advertisement and the Final was a superb piece of promotion for women's basketball. It was intense, exciting and a fitting end to the season.

B is for bringing back the Final Four. It proved to be an excellent choice to revert back from Final Eight and it proved that anything can happen in this format. Just remember, Avenida won the previous one against the odds! It has changed my mind, since I previously backed Final Eight.

C is for the Czech national team and Czech women's basketball - both of which will get a huge lift ahead of EuroBasket Women 2015 after this real high point.

D is for Dynamo Kursk, who while disappointed to have lost their Semi Final against UMMC, took an excellent third place finish in their rookie EuroLeague Women season.

E is for Eva Viteckova who stood in tears at half-time during the Final watching her career highlights on the big screen. While she couldn't play, having this send-off and still being part of the biggest moment in Prague's history was incredible for the legend.

F is for fairytales and Prague proved they do happen.

G is for gold and that is exactly what Prague head coach Natalia Hejkova described Final Four MVP Kia Vaughn as.

H is for hustle and without it, you can get caught short. If you have it, you can do great things and it was an essential ingredient in the winning recipe for Prague.

I is for irony and the fact that Prague did to UMMC what the Russians did to Dynamo Kursk in the Semi-Final by scoring a series of fast-break points.

J is for just watch the top play from the Final Four and the reaction of Danielle Robinson. It epitomises the game in one moment and how Prague took it to UMMC.

K is for Kia and certainly the center played an incredible role. She plays better under pressure and in the big moments. I love her because she leads by example and matches her physical prowess with mental strength.

L is for love women's basketball and hopefully more people will after this great tournament. #lovewomensball

M is for MVP and surely the biggest MVP trophy in basketball history! But what a beautiful one it was (from the event sponsors) and the look on Vaughn's face when she received it was priceless!

N is for Natalia Hejkova who has now won all five EuroLeague Women Finals she has coached in, with this latest one arguably the most impressive of them all.

O is for organisation and credit to everyone involved with Prague for a truly memorable event.

P is for perimeter shooting which was simply abject from UMMC in the Final as they went an excruciating 1 of 16 from downtown.

Q is for 'Queens of Europe' and that is what the Prague players should enjoy most during coming weeks and months when they reign supreme after this astonishing achievement.

R is for rewind. Because I am going to have to watch that whole game all over again! Wow!

S is Sonja Petrovic who played an understated cameo role in the win, but an essential one. She shackled FIBA Europe Women's Player of the Year Alba Torrens really well and also sunk a go-ahead three ball midway through the final quarter. She's a star, but played brilliant team ball.

T is for (Diana) Taurasi. While all the talk was of how UMMC had stepped up as a team in the Semi-Final against Kursk to make up for her absence, oh how they missed their big-hitter when it mattered most of all and they needed someone to make big shots from outside in the Final.

U is for UMMC who were huge favourites to win their third title. However, they didn't perform when it mattered most and were left short in so many areas. Two titles in 12 years considering how much they have invested is a poor return - even if it is a tough competition.

V is for veteran class, with Laia Palau and Jana Vesela delivering bucket loads. The former pulled the strings, slowed down the UMMC transition with smart fouls, made some outside shots during the weekend and her experience was vital. Vesela got the party started with some great early play.

W is for win and the biggest in the history of the host team and achieved through togetherness and a phenomenal work-rate.

X is for the 'X-Factor' and that was the incredible appetite for defense shown by Prague. Nobody had quite seen them able to rise to that level.

Y is for yes they can do it. Words that weren't muttered at any time leading up to Final Four about Prague reaching the podium summit and certainly weren't heard by me ahead of the Final itself.

Z is for ZVVZ USK Prague, the new EuroLeague Women champions.
