See, this is why Europeans are dominating the NBA. Euroleague is a very competitive league and its coaches (especially Greeks and Serbs) are having none of it. In 14:38, Obradovic is sending Bjelica to the locker room. He was the Euroleague MVP that year. It's like the Bucks coach sending Giannis to the locker room during a game, or the Nets coach kicking KD out of the game.

As an extra funny info: Ioannidis is the coach throwing a bottle to a player in the last part of the video... The player is Sigalas whose nickname was "Rambo" and was probably one of the toughest mfers in Europe back then. The fact that he only stared down after that shows the amount of respect and potentially fear the players had for their coaches :P
Coaches in Europe are Generals. Doesn't mater if you have LeBron on the court, he is your soldier to win your war. If they screw things up, they will hear it.
Željko Obradović in Greece is a GOD respected even by rival fans. the day he left Panathinaikos is the day Panathinaikos started to decline. Tho I have to admit, using the word Please as a verb is 300IQ move.... that's why he's the best!
Zeljko is back home to Partizan now and I think it would be nice to finish in a team where he started as a player and as coach and won firs EL title 1992. Partizan is very bad last 5 years and I think that Partizan fans deserve to see Partizan in final four again.
Those Europeans are giving their 110% just not to get yelled at again but they're still fucking up and getting berated repeatedly or they're getting berated less.
As a bulgarian I shed a tear. :D I know PAOK fans insult Aris calling them "Bulgarians" but as I would support Aris, I sometimes enter livestreams and write comments like "Go go Paok, greetings from a bulgarian fan" to troll them. :D
Zeljko Obradovic is one of the best coaches in history of basketball! He lives 100m from my house in city of Cacak (Serbia) and he is a great man! Everybody loves him! He is a GOAT!
Love how the coaches are just as savage with the refs and medias 🤣 Imagine an American superstar getting yelled at and called a bitch by a coach, I swear he'd pass out 😂
A coach like Zeljko has a lot more gravity in the game than a ref and even the refs treat coaches like him like superstars. That ref who send him off probably didn't sleep for three days.
Cleveland Cavaliers had legendary Euro League coach named David Blatt, LeBron James drove him out of the league, the arrogance of NBA players is legendary. David was brilliant, we haven't played defense like that since he left. San Antonio coach Popovich called David brilliant, and said what happened to him was shameful. I agree.

same in Greece. Basically the first guy is telling them to stop cursing etc/etc in an air of cool headedness and he finished it off with "Fuck your house"
I remember our coach when we were 13 years old playing football. He was talking to us like this and we all took him very serious. After we moved up a team and had a different coach we all missed him. He was tough but a great coach.
Funny you say that. I felt the same way with a coach of mine in football. Toughest guy to handle on the pitch, decent guy off the pitch, but we actually learned something for a change, tactically advanced and got better as a team. Never had a coach like him after that.
hahah its a miracle Obradović has not got a heart attack or a stroke till now the guy is a legend but man ... when he is pissed (all the time) its like never ending geyser of vapor and hot water
Because he wants his players to play what is it learned on practice,and they again do whatever they want,they dont play defence on offence is the same,I think he is perferctionist with a big basketball IQ
1:09 He said "If I'm normal I'd put you to locker room". He is translating from Serbian to English literaly. What he wanted to say was: "If I were normal, I would send you to locker room." (meaning that by not doing it he turns out to be insane)
Meanwhile in the US overpaid players act like victims of oppression and when ownership or coaches demand of them to do their job. At the first signal of pressure from the coach they are requesting trades to super teams and calling out everyone on twitter like little babies. That's why the NBA is losing it's appeal and why the 2 best current players are Euro.
I used to practice basketball when I was a teenager, until the end of high school in Serbia. The one thing that matters in EU style basketball coaching is that all of the players from the very start are seeing the coach as a person with absolute authority. You get that mentality from the beginning. Coach is something like your "sport dad". The team is the family, only the team matters and the coach is the head of the family. And if the coach is good, like these guys in the video are, you as a player have the upmost respect for them. You don't argue, criticize or talk back. You even feel ashamed when the coach criticizes you. Because in 99.9% of cases he is right. You actually feel ashamed for letting down the coach and your team (you can see the players having their heads down when the coach yells at them, like kids who just broke the neighbors window and are in the process of being grounded for a month). There is no place for self promotion and solo flying. Never saw this in the NBA. In the NBA the coach and the captain are running the team equally. The best example would be Bulls with MJ. So they share authority, quite often even the cap has more authority than the coach. In Europe coach is the father, captain is the oldest brother who was entrusted to lead the team by the father, end of story. You can even notice that when a US born player comes to Europe he kinda starts the individuality thing and going against the coach, but he soon toes the line. Most of the time by the pressure from his team mates, not the coach himself.

Ιts true! Like kobe Bryant he grew up and learned basketball in Italy as a child from 6-13 age! He had said that in his early years he learned basketball more correctly and differently there !
Americans produce more skilled and talented players, but in Europe the game is more disciplined and with better tactics and fundamental understanding. So now that European players start getting access to the American talent development they realy start to take over the NBA
@@Tsotsis1 I didn't say this. This conclusion is not a result from my words. Saras is a top level coach, but I think in this moment his behaviour is unjust.
@@michaelmichailidis3185 i have used it only once. Against christ. And i didnt mean it. I am agnostic so not 100% a believer but i find it immature to curse and especially figures in which people believe in. But the truth is people who "beleive" srill curse here in greece no matter what
I think it's necessary to explain something in this video, as a Fener fan. When Mr. Obradovic spoke to team and Datome ''Fuck you Gigi Datome, fuck you everybody'' so many people criticised him in Turkey for his language like ''ok, you're ambitious, angry and very motivative but you crossed the line out there''. So later in this video when he talks to team as ''Sorry that I need to speak like that. May I please ask you to play a little defense?'' is like one or two weeks later if I remember correct. He talked to team in that way also to give media a message.
@@janakolasinac1686 well to be honest most of fener fans like me didn't really make a problem out of it, we knew that's how he is, as character and how he managed so many things this way.

I never had the honor of having a great coach in basketball playing here in the states unfortunately, but I did have a bunch of old school coaches in American football who’d talk to us like this and some of these kids who were raised here, looked shocked that a coach would talk that way, I’m not American, but this is the type of talk and coaching that I was used to. These type of coaches are a dying breed.
Watching that last one from Saras at the end of the video, I just imagine him watching NBA and going CRAZY with the idiocy that is going on with the 3pointers with 20 seconds on the clock. I mean even I get angry at this blatant stupidity. Imagine an actual coach watching that unfold. They wouldn't send them in the locker rooms, they'd expell them from the whole damn country if they did that in Europe :P
@@420Lauris Lately I struggle to understand what coaches in NBA even do, when plays like "we have 18 seconds on the clock let's yeet the ball from one meter behind the 3-point line on a fast break" are now common-place. I actually saw Milwaukee Bucks do that. Look at the highlight when Kyrie got hurt. He was down on the other end and Middleton iirc just chucked the ball 5 vs 4 with 18 seconds to go. He didn't even wait for someone to go in the paint for a rebound for crying out loud. Meanwhile I was looking some older highlights and I was reminded of a Greek basketball finals with coaches Ioannidis and Βozidar Μalkovich, with the old FIBA rules, 30 seconds on the clock and the defenders stuck on the opponents. *FINAL SCORE of the whole game* ? One of the most *extreme* results in basketball: *45-44* ... in a professional game between two of the best teams in Europe at the time. You can actually watch that old game here on youtube. Look up "Ολυμπιακός - Παναθηναϊκός: 45 - 44 (1995)" and it is there, all of it.
@@dennisthemenace855 I think it's just different..you can't really compare it, because in Europe the fans are really going to war. So that creates a completely different atmosphere. I've seen interviews with NBA players talking about their experiences in Europe and they said it's like playing in a war zone, they sometimes felt their lives were in danger while playing. I think the NBA creates pressure because of the money involved, in Europe the pressure comes from the social aspects.
The best players of the NBA are the best players in basketball. But Euroleague has players that are as good as NBA players who play 20 minutes per game that really buy into the team they play for. Guys have longer deals where you don't have to worry about getting traded, so even the sixth man knows he's a part of the team for long term.
when i was 11 i played a club game and i had to defend a left handed guy i was pretty good but that day i had 3 fouls in the first quarter... the coach yelled the shit out on me for a minute straight that was the time out call 😂 love to all basketball lovers from italy
Men I remember when I was in the youth academy and I made a dumb play after 2 days obradovic pulled me aside I don’t know how he saa the play but he shouted me for 5 minutes

01:30 fun fact: they’re up 19 😂
I swear the Balkan is the best , but Greeks have the juiciest curses , they are just too good 😂😂
Greece is a Balkan countrie as well..
I know I didn’t say anything else my friend just that to Greece out of the whole Balkan place has the juiciest swears 😂
Then you didn't hear Serbs curse. They even have a curse for a doorstep , imagine the creativity of curses then 😂😂😂
"It's Friday,don't curse" 🤣😭😂
I wish younger basketball players(American) would lay in Europe think how much tougher they’d be mentally.
Ιts true! Like kobe Bryant he grew up and learned basketball in Italy as a child from 6-13 age! He had said that in his early years he learned basketball more correctly and differently there !
Oh man, Šaras is now one of them :D
I was expecting to see him first :D
These guys are LEGENDS...
-Hey great, I got a female boss, it's gonna be so cool!
-Female boss: 6:00

Modrozelena Alga Don't mess with Greek women ''bosses''...
Who actualy thinks that, most of them toxic as hell
Gregg Popovich is the exception in NBA because of his serbian-croatian blood :)
Americans produce more skilled and talented players, but in Europe the game is more disciplined and with better tactics and fundamental understanding.
So now that European players start getting access to the American talent development they realy start to take over the NBA
Well said
Individual skill is of secondhand importance when playing a team sport
2:27 Run whores..run!Saying to reffs!LOL
Šarūnas Jasikevicius is a legend, wish he would be an NBA coach in the future but I doubt he'll be because he would be way to harsh
players like lebron and irving would cry to the media after 1 game with him
serbian brothers crazy people :D
the first guy was loved by almost everyone that liked basketball and we made him head of the hellenic ministry of sports!
If by ''crazy'' you mean they are f---ng passionate about the game and how well their players play, as per their instructions, you are correct.
Americans thinking they're tough is the biggest world scale Dunning-Kruger phenomenon ever.
Back in the days, nba coaches had military or even cia backround. Chuck daly and gregg pop, just name a few. But coaches today, they have no power.
They were still soft
That makes me proud of being greek

More of this balkan masterpiece
This is coaching. I would want to give more
In the end saras reactions was 100% justified .If he lost the shot they had the time to come back..It wasnt the best decision that his player took.
You're wrong. In Russia we say "Winners are not judged". The player made the shot, there was no "If".
@@sergeygatich1922 ok. Saras doesnt know what to do according to you then. Thats why he coaches Barca.
@@Tsotsis1 I didn't say this. This conclusion is not a result from my words. Saras is a top level coach, but I think in this moment his behaviour is unjust.
@@sergeygatich1922 thats result based analysis after the fact, terrible input.
Obradovic legend!!! Greetings from Turkey!
Non-Balkans don’t understand how fucking hilarious the “stop calling them Bulgarians” part really is
Obradovic is the god of all coaches
Jesus is busy in Greece 😂😂😂
Amen
Bro in greece we curse religious figures so much. 1st would be mary then christ and then god
Best expression in decades is "dont curse at holy mary u and your fucking christ".
@@rizzospastis only if you are a non believer , personally I have never used such an insult, there is enough insult without putting Jesus and Mary ,
@@michaelmichailidis3185 i have used it only once. Against christ. And i didnt mean it. I am agnostic so not 100% a believer but i find it immature to curse and especially figures in which people believe in. But the truth is people who "beleive" srill curse here in greece no matter what
This is my dad on a normal Sunday back home 😂
European sports... Never bored!
Most of them were able to lead their teams to championship, national and European ,multiple times. No further comments
noone can be like Obradoviç
Imagine if these coaches did this in America? They would get fired by the players, lol
At 5:05 the coach was like "May I please you to play a little bit defense?" haha maybe that works better in the NBA
LOL
David Blatt
I think it's necessary to explain something in this video, as a Fener fan. When Mr. Obradovic spoke to team and Datome ''Fuck you Gigi Datome, fuck you everybody'' so many people criticised him in Turkey for his language like ''ok, you're ambitious, angry and very motivative but you crossed the line out there''. So later in this video when he talks to team as ''Sorry that I need to speak like that. May I please ask you to play a little defense?'' is like one or two weeks later if I remember correct. He talked to team in that way also to give media a message.
@@janakolasinac1686 well to be honest most of fener fans like me didn't really make a problem out of it, we knew that's how he is, as character and how he managed so many things this way. So we never had problem. But the other teams fans criticised him mostly and i believe they did it only to hurt the team and the coach. Fener fans rsspect and love him a lot like Pana fans
@@janakolasinac1686 some toxic people were always questioning if zeljko could bring a success with low budgets too and after decades this will be another challenge for him for sure. Tho I guess serbian government is gonna support the team a bit, thats why we hear some rumors with good players? Correct me if I'm wrong
@@janakolasinac1686 ohh damn hahaah I heard some news about it but you're saying its false. I'd still love to see Ekpe working with Zeljko again though
@@janakolasinac1686 well good luck brate :) since our Bogi was from partizan too and now Zeljko is head coach of Partizan as well, our hearts are with you for sure lol
@@FatihYasarTR The big budgets always choose Obradovic ,not Obradovic the big budgets ;)
As a Greek I can clearly say that I loved the Greek man trapped in the woman body 6:02 especially the ending 😂😂😂😂

1:53 This Coach could have a sideline job as a motivational speaker or fitness coach. :D
I truly believe this is what early American basketball coaching used to look like.
I never had the honor of having a great coach in basketball playing here in the states unfortunately, but I did have a bunch of old school coaches in American football who’d talk to us like this and some of these kids who were raised here, looked shocked that a coach would talk that way, I’m not American, but this is the type of talk and coaching that I was used to. These type of coaches are a dying breed.
Watching that last one from Saras at the end of the video, I just imagine him watching NBA and going CRAZY with the idiocy that is going on with the 3pointers with 20 seconds on the clock. I mean even I get angry at this blatant stupidity. Imagine an actual coach watching that unfold. They wouldn't send them in the locker rooms, they'd expell them from the whole damn country if they did that in Europe :P
That's why best coaches don't work in The nba because players do what they want
@@420Lauris Lately I struggle to understand what coaches in NBA even do, when plays like "we have 18 seconds on the clock let's yeet the ball from one meter behind the 3-point line on a fast break" are now common-place.
I actually saw Milwaukee Bucks do that. Look at the highlight when Kyrie got hurt. He was down on the other end and Middleton iirc just chucked the ball 5 vs 4 with 18 seconds to go. He didn't even wait for someone to go in the paint for a rebound for crying out loud.
Meanwhile I was looking some older highlights and I was reminded of a Greek basketball finals with coaches Ioannidis and Βozidar Μalkovich, with the old FIBA rules, 30 seconds on the clock and the defenders stuck on the opponents.
*FINAL SCORE of the whole game* ?
One of the most *extreme* results in basketball: *45-44* ... in a professional game between two of the best teams in Europe at the time.
You can actually watch that old game here on youtube. Look up "Ολυμπιακός - Παναθηναϊκός: 45 - 44 (1995)" and it is there, all of it.
Im glad that most of them coached in Greece....and still time for some of them to come
12:58 - The Shot Clocked Stopped!
Coach: "The shot clocked stopped!"
Ref: "Leave it"
Coach: "But how "leave it"? I'm losing the game!"
Me: Can't stop laughing. LOL!!!
lmao
Euroleague is harder than NBA period
Also more on Iso play
Y’all have to cut it out . Nba playoffs is hardest level of competition of any league in the world
@@dennisthemenace855 I think it's just different..you can't really compare it, because in Europe the fans are really going to war. So that creates a completely different atmosphere. I've seen interviews with NBA players talking about their experiences in Europe and they said it's like playing in a war zone, they sometimes felt their lives were in danger while playing.
I think the NBA creates pressure because of the money involved, in Europe the pressure comes from the social aspects.
The best players of the NBA are the best players in basketball. But Euroleague has players that are as good as NBA players who play 20 minutes per game that really buy into the team they play for. Guys have longer deals where you don't have to worry about getting traded, so even the sixth man knows he's a part of the team for long term.
Euroleague is more entertaining. NBA is full of overpaid drama queens
IOANNIDIS FOR EVER!!!
In the Philippines we have the one and only. Coach Yeng Guiao. 💪😂
when i was 11 i played a club game and i had to defend a left handed guy
i was pretty good but that day i had 3 fouls in the first quarter... the coach yelled the shit out on me for a minute straight
that was the time out call 😂
love to all basketball lovers from italy
They nuts 😂
One of the best coaches is return to Partizan! Željko Obradović ša la la laaa
NBA players would cry with these coaches hahaha...
I wonder how “polished” some of the subtitles are? I were at a volleyball game here in Italy, and nothing polished there. Pure art and passion!
Balkan rules the european basketball i wonder where is coach Giannakis he swears alot also
Men I remember when I was in the youth academy and I made a dumb play after 2 days obradovic pulled me aside I don’t know how he saa the play but he shouted me for 5 minutes
Whatever they say Balkan coaches are the best as basketball genius.
6:09 classic greek coaching!!i dont know her but i love her
She is coach of the turkish team
Greeks and Serbs have the greatest tamperament. Passionate. Politically correctness is left out of the building.
And the best thing is that there are coaches like them even at the local divisions and at the younger teams!
Giannis Ioannidis the most legendary coach ever
