@@CarlosRenfroe But nothing HAS changed. The NBA has never been a sellout crowd sport. Ever. Sure, great teams sell out games, but even they don't sell them all out, and most teams barely sell half the seats. That's been true since literally the 70s, before any "changes". The NBA didn't devolve to this state; its never been better than this state.
@@Tijuanabill You're missing my point. You're arguing something that I never said. If you look at my original comment, it's a parallel to American sports in general. I never said that the NBA was a crowd-sell-out sport. It's not college basketball. However, you can certainly see a shift in the approach to fans in recent years. You can even see it in the decline in ratings. Just this year, the commissioner had to institute a 65-game minimum statute to qualify for the MVP award largely because of load management. The league is easily and visibly different in its approach to fans and it's largely due to the increase in cooperate brand money, foreign interests, and multi-billion dollar TV deals. It's even happening some in college football. The commentary about this is everywhere Bro.
Serbian here. Crvena zvezda club (Belgrade, Serbia) is the one in red and white that was shown where everybody was jumping at the same time. Basketball in our country is like a religion, we dont come to games to post stories and drink beer. We come to jump and sing for 2 hours and make a show of our own. And no, it's not only pregame. Greek crowd is the only other one you can compare to Serbian.
@DavidCubie1 At least in Europe. Raja Casablanca in Morocco are crazy as f..k. And also the Argentinean bravas/ultras. Especially when Bocca Juniors and River Plate goes head to head.
funny but true. 1000 years of little or big animosities between cities or states are solved not by the guns, but in the sport events. You put your city color on your body and goes to defend your city

Hello. I am European, Spanish, and it is true that the atmosphere is surely more intense in European stadiums, but it is particularly higher in countries like Serbia, Turkey or Greece. All the best.
The difference is that European leagues don't price out real fans from the games. In the US, only corporate fans can really afford to go to games more than once or twice a year.
You were right. The second and third clip, when the commentator said that this only exists in Europe, when both the camera and the floor were shaking, was from Belgrade, Serbia. Red and white army of fans! ❤
1:00 And why do it only those who have the same shirts and they also had to play music for it? Because they have it rehearsed and they do it during the break, and that has nothing to do with cheering, the real cheering begins at 2:17
When European players in the NBA get asked about the pressures of playing in the league and they say that they're not worried because they come from playing in Europe... THIS is why. 😳
Europe is way more passionate about sports when I first came to the U.S. I went to an Orlando magic game and I thought it was so weird that fans from the opposing team were allowed to sit on the magic side and then there was no fights no blood or anything it was super calm there was barely any cheering lol
It's a certain culture in the US, one that loves basketball, that is violent that is why. This is why 6% of the population commits 60% of the violent crimes in the US... it's cultural. I will say though, Europe can't touch Canada when it comes to fans and hockey.
People dying in stadiums, breaking shit, getting into fights, throwing bananas, making monkey gestures is not passion. Just because we can act more civil does not mean we are less passionate.
You need to check some videos from Calcio Storico in Florence. This type of celebration at sporting events in europe goes back hundreds of years, maybe even thousands.
Might suggest a quick link for Liverpool Football Club and their anthem, "You'll will never walk alone". Quite a few links for that. By the way, in the UK, most football clubs started out as teams at local factories. So, the nicknames of teams will give you an idea of the originating company. For instance, Arsenal are called the gunners.
This is why the NBA will never become very popular in Europe. It feels way too manufactured with the music, the mascots, the half time nonsense, the celebrities sitting court side and someone singing the Star-Spangled Banner before every game
@@DavidCubie1 I just watch the highlights. I can't sit through an entire NBA game when I grew up on an NBA which was way more physical and had way less players try and shoot 3s during a game
@@goodfella1401 that's the most entertaining thing about it, even though I have absolutely no interest in that whole spectacle and the people doing it, I want an entertaining game, not a whole production that I don't give a damn about, anything that needs cheer leaders isn't worth the bother:)
The bouncing clip said "Turkish Airlines League" and you were right: Greece and Serbia. You really MUST watch "World's Greatest Football Fans: Ultras/Europe" No violence but incredible noise and passion. 98% of the audience for those Basketball games and the Football fans' clips are Malewhereas it is a more Family affair, as you said in The NBA..

Another difference is that European teams are usually "Athletic Clubs" that also have football teams and the fans bring the passions of the stadiums to the Arena. It's the same in North Africa to.a certain degree, here in Morocco for example some football fans show up to basketball or handball games to support the team even if they don't care much about the sport, just for the sake of the colours. I could say that in Europe, North Africa, Latin America, the club is like second motherland. It's very different from the franchise system in the USA. Perhaps college ball is the closest thing since universities are strongly anchored into the identity of the city or the state same as sports clubs in other parts of the world.
1st Aris - Paok, 2nd Red Star chanting “Belgrade” not brake a leg...3rd Pao fans chanting “Horto magiko” = “Magic weed” perhaps the most intimidating chant in the world....NBA is for Boy Scouts in comparison atmosphere wise...
I'm from Barcelona Spain. Before there was this atmosphere, but little by little they banned flares, explosives and all this stuff. for many incidents before. and it became safer for all people. You only see this atmosphere when Barcelona vs Madrid play. And in football there is this hostile environment. It's like going to war. and if Barcelona wins the streets burn in flames. I hope this passion is never lost. I liked your video
Great vid, cheers! You should check vids there are professionals that speak about European fan bases which would give you more ideas as they are better references than a simple youtube comment ^^ also check for English football chants if you want some fun ^^
Definitely concur about watching some videos where US players who have played in the Euro basketball league talk about it, particularly the ones who played in Turkey, mental.
Pao Fan but I saw you were impressed by Greek fans. Because you watched this video a month ago if you want to see and react to more recent basketball atmosphere you can watch Euroleague game 5 of Playoffs in OAKA vs Macabi the season of 2023-2024 (Panathinaikos was the team you watch lastly on the video) . The atmosphere was stunning and there were even video blogs inside that game. Also you can see what happened 2 weeks ago after Panathinaikos got his 7th Euroleague around the stadium and at Greek Streets and Athenian Airport when Panathinaikos Brought Euroleague Trophy back to the Greek Capital. Also you can watch as honorable mentions: Partizan Fanbase, Turks are also good (Galata, Fener) And Specially for basketball Zalgiris Lithuanian team with 45 SOLD OUT home in a row in Euroleague games and really good atmosphere. Their Crowd are also very nice.
The first team from Europe is Aris in Thessaloniki of Greece one of the most gorgeous teams in the greek league. Try more to see the funs of panathinaikos, Olympiakos and paok . After this you will understand this crazy atmosphere in Europe... Also macambi Tel Aviv and fenerbache have great fans... I wish you to be always good!!
the best crowd i have been in, is in the Netherlands, where i am from, during concerts of Epica ( my favorite band ). Which is symphonic metal. Everyone is just happy and there to have a good time. Once slipped on beer, and spontaneously get picked up by 4 people i never met. Metal crowds are the best! 🤘😎🤘
I think the passion towards football/basketball clubs in Europe comes from tradition. My father was a supporter of Dinamo Zagreb, my grandfather also, everybody in my family too. You are born into it most of the time. Its more like a religion. In United States the club is just a company that can move to another city if you have the money, in Europe the club is deeply rooted in the community for more than 100 years and in a way represents your town or entire state and all sort of views of that community. Also, supporting some clubs you are showing your political stance, sometimes showing rebelion towards some views etc. Football club is like your first love, you cannot change support to some other team, everything in life can change, but that cannot. I think the passion comes from that. There are also stuff like Ultras and hooligans, "normal" fans etc, but thats another topic :D

Anyone know the context of the clip where the paper and stuff were thrown on the court? It looked to be done for a reason. Or was it just for the F of it?
Its a tradition that aris started in the late 80s i think. Every derby between aris and paok the two biggest rivals of Thessaloniki they do this ritual before the gae statts.
The difference between U.S. and Europe (mainly Greece, because I'm from Greece and I've been to most of the stadiums) is easy for anyone to understand: Have you seen Lord of the Rings? Imagine a stadium in Minas Tirith full of people, against a stadium made in the center of Mordor full of Uruk-hai (once we leave the stadium we become humans too, don't be afraid). So simple!
Galatasaray - Strasbourg basketbal match in Istanbul Türkiye Look at the reaction from the Strasbourg coach when he sees the athmosphere in the stadium.
You cannot compare the atmosphere between USA and Europe! I am from Greece and I can tell you that ARIS-PAOK and Panathinaikos-Olympiakos are the most intense basketball atmospheres in the world! The vibes are high! Only Serbians or Turks can understand what I’m saying. Balkan fans are mad and passionate about their teams!
you really dont need to know what are they chanting in Greece i am pretty sure if i translate it my account will be banned for harassment and profanity
The NBA Playoffs are a different animal. They dont dance and sing but they are intense. Watch the Celtics/Lakers - Bird vs Magic playoffs. Insane. And Madison Square Garden NY Knicks playoffs games - like the game tonight. Off the charts
Love your content, but the orginal video has huge pacing problems. First two minutes I was thinking "why are we watching this"? Someone really needs to learn to use razor tool more. Greetings from Poland btw.
So for the first European video: It's the derby between Aris and PAOK Thessaloniki. The power went out, that's why it was so dark and people had their phones out. Not going to translate the first chant, it's a bunch of bad words toward the opponents and their family :D.
I've often wondered if the sports franchise system in America weakened bonds of identity with their host communities. It seems rather mercenary how players and even teams change locations. I would guess that some significant number of fans are more loyal to players than teams.
The frequency of games matters. NBA, MLB and College Basketball play too many games... fans don't get as excited by 4 games a week. Monday Night or Thursday night Football is an event. I wonder if that is part of the difference?
I am 78 (English).... and followed football, and to a lesser degree, cricket, all my life. I have no idea if basketball is played in the UK. I guess it must be, somewhere . I guess knowing the name Michael Jordan is something! But I have never met anyone with the slightest interest in the sport.
For sheer chaos, nothing I've seen here surpasses the ending of the 2022 Alabama-Tennessee college football game, won by Tennessee on a last second field goal. The goalposts were taken down by the Tennessee fans and thrown into the Tennessee river, for Pete's sake. That said, the Europeans here were more intense than the American ones in my view. Flares? Crazy! And it seemed more of the crowd was involved than with the US examples. There may be some cultural factors at work too. Of course, these examples are cherry-picked; there are US videos that are quite intense.
Greece and Serbia are hot spots for basketball in europe👍 the first team was ARIS -Greeve the 2nd was Red Star Beograd Serbia and the last was Panathinaikos Athens - Greece.✌️
The European basketball fans are not exclusive basketball fans they are fanatics of a specific team and they go to any serious sport to support their team, they also go to voleyball matches but the main sport they have been founded for is Football (not eggball the real football)
In Europe we have been fighting each other 4 times longer than the USA has existed as a country. That's why we are very tribal almost anywhere in Europe
I can not but to laugh when US commentators say this and that team has hostile fans. For European NBA players it was like they back to elementary school.

Imagine a stadium in Minas Tirith full of people, against a stadium made in the center of Mordor full of Uruk-hai (once we leave the stadium we become humans too, don't be afraid).
So simple!
Galatasaray - Strasbourg basketbal match in Istanbul Türkiye
Look at the reaction from the Strasbourg coach when he sees the athmosphere in the stadium.
You cannot compare the atmosphere between USA and Europe! I am from Greece and I can tell you that ARIS-PAOK and Panathinaikos-Olympiakos are the most intense basketball atmospheres in the world! The vibes are high! Only Serbians or Turks can understand what I’m saying. Balkan fans are mad and passionate about their teams!
*Tip-off*
Announcer: "This game is now postponed."
football is even crazier. just imagine totally hyped crowd on stadiums holding 200.000 people
4:43 Belgrade Serbia
you really dont need to know what are they chanting in Greece i am pretty sure if i translate it my account will be banned for harassment and profanity
German soccer-players refer to their fans as "the 12th man on the field"
The NBA Playoffs are a different animal. They dont dance and sing but they are intense. Watch the Celtics/Lakers - Bird vs Magic playoffs. Insane. And Madison Square Garden NY Knicks playoffs games - like the game tonight. Off the charts
Usual thing in Europe that same football fans are also on basketball games.
Every game, literally every game in Europe is like that 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
This is why euro players can't be intimidated by crowd once they move to the NBA.
4:45 Red Star Belgrade (Serbia) vs CSKA Moscow (Russia) .... hose are the red Star fans
Yes that was Serbia 🇷🇸
Love your content, but the orginal video has huge pacing problems. First two minutes I was thinking "why are we watching this"? Someone really needs to learn to use razor tool more. Greetings from Poland btw.
So for the first European video:
It's the derby between Aris and PAOK Thessaloniki. The power went out, that's why it was so dark and people had their phones out.
Not going to translate the first chant, it's a bunch of bad words toward the opponents and their family :D.
I've often wondered if the sports franchise system in America weakened bonds of identity with their host communities. It seems rather mercenary how players and even teams change locations. I would guess that some significant number of fans are more loyal to players than teams.
I definitely know NBA fans who are loyal to a player and will support whatever team they’re on
I sold my PlayStation to buy a phone to download RUclips to watch this video.
Well, with those crowds safely ensconced in a stadium it'd, at least, be safe to take a wander around the local town .... 😁
The frequency of games matters. NBA, MLB and College Basketball play too many games... fans don't get as excited by 4 games a week. Monday Night or Thursday night Football is an event. I wonder if that is part of the difference?
Thanks for bringing that up, I hadn’t considered it
@@NoProtocol you are a good content creator I would love for you to do a zoom with my students this fall. I’m a professor at Howard University.
I am 78 (English).... and followed football, and to a lesser degree, cricket, all my life. I have no idea if basketball is played in the UK. I guess it must be, somewhere . I guess knowing the name Michael Jordan is something! But I have never met anyone with the slightest interest in the sport.
Panathinaikos is Greek team, Barcelona is Spain team. The game is from Euroleague game
3:54 Don't know what they're chanting. It's all Greek to me.
It's not in English for sure
For sheer chaos, nothing I've seen here surpasses the ending of the 2022 Alabama-Tennessee college football game, won by Tennessee on a last second field goal. The goalposts were taken down by the Tennessee fans and thrown into the Tennessee river, for Pete's sake. That said, the Europeans here were more intense than the American ones in my view. Flares? Crazy! And it seemed more of the crowd was involved than with the US examples. There may be some cultural factors at work too. Of course, these examples are cherry-picked; there are US videos that are quite intense.
Love the outfit NP
This all makes me want to go to some European games
If only we spend this much energy and passion on other more important things in life...
There is a great video on yt of American playere talking about playing in the euro league. Good video to react to.
For me its the flares, like mad max. 😂
In America you hear the same in any game in any city no chants specific to the team … defense defense 😵💫
Even as a Swede yeah hockey and football fans go crazy too 😂
Where is that, you asked ? Home court of Red Star Belgrade, Serbia.
1. Aris - Salonica, Greece
2. Serbia Red Star
3. Panathinaikos - Athen, Greece
Greece and Serbia are hot spots for basketball in europe👍 the first team was ARIS -Greeve the 2nd was Red Star Beograd Serbia and the last was Panathinaikos Athens - Greece.✌️
Wish I would have found you earlier.
Awesome channel.
The European basketball fans are not exclusive basketball fans they are fanatics of a specific team and they go to any serious sport to support their team, they also go to voleyball matches but the main sport they have been founded for is Football (not eggball the real football)
Red Star (Delije) +Fan Here Greetings From Serbia Zvezda Leee Zvezda Lee
In Europe we have been fighting each other 4 times longer than the USA has existed as a country. That's why we are very tribal almost anywhere in Europe
You'll be able to find posts from American players that have played in Europe...very interesting.
Also you should react to football fans from Europe (ultras)
It's no wonder that the best players in the world currently come from Europe.
In Europe home court advantage means lot more then in NBA home court advantage.
I can not but to laugh when US commentators say this and that team has hostile fans. For European NBA players it was like they back to elementary school.
06:14 here are the GREEKS again.....PANATHINAIKOS basketball FANS who took the European Championship at 2024 for 7th time.
PASSION is easier/important if you have a RIVALRY.
Thats Belgrade, Serbia.
Red Star fans
