You could mention Marko Ivković, guy killed in Instanbul, by Galatasaray fans in front of arena, because Galatasaray didn't want to give one part of tickets for Red Star fans, and Turkish police didn't reacted appropriate for occasion
fun fact, greek media found it very mature and civilized of us (Greek here) that for the pao-oly game in oaka there was no shield behind the players benches 🤯 also foreign media found it weird that there were empty seats behind oly bench in the recent game between them... I guess now you know why 😅 btw the worst clashes dont actually happen in football and basketball games, but in volleyball, polo, etc... since those clubs have branches in multiple sports and security is a lot of times less tight in a womens volleyball game for example (just like wheelchair basketball in turkey)
"the worst clashes dont actually happen in football and basketball games, but in volleyball, polo, etc" Absolutely! Handball has also seen some excellent clashes, especially between PAOK and AEK in Lamia.
"I have played in Serbia bro....".The line of the year at that time by Jokic, no doubt 💀 I bet that the journalist after that declared himself offended 😂
To be fair, things have become a bit more quiet here in Greece over the past year. Of course the "small" fact that a police officer was killed by a naval flare during a volleyball game and a few fans were murdered by opposing team hooligans the past couple of years (these were incidents involving soccer not basketball) plus the fact that the government finally decided to threaten the teams with some major consequences if things get crazy again has most likely played a part.
Greek journalists have a major role in that. I remember an Olympiacos journalist saying "I dont want to see them celebrating in our stadium", implying the game should be stopped by hooligans if they (very predictably) lost.
@@Sonic-di9pj 99% of these guys are neither real proper journalists, nor sports writers. They are first and foremost hardcore fans of their team who also pretend to be writing articles. They also know very little about the sport they're reporting on, as they've never played professionally. They are allowed to be writing for numerous media so they have a legit platform to spread their ideas and how their uber-team was slaughtered by the referees etc. The funny part comes when the chief editor of the same media starts whining about how fans have turned to hooliganism and ponders the media's generic responsibility in all that, instead of kicking all these fan-writers out (ναι, Σαμπράκο του gazzetta, για σένα τα λέω).
in there I once heared the dumbest thing ever. The guy on the mic literally said to the spectators "please turn off your flares or our team will be punished"....
Great video. You could have added the clash between Greek and Serbian national teams. I think it was in 2012. Also a classic video is the one of AEK Athens fans jumping and hanging from the basketball hoop.
Respect to Lithuanians for one game interruption and of course for those Lithuanian brothers who waited to punch Rudy - true legends😂 they should be recognized and given free pass in games in Greece and Serbia
You know you're in Europe when that excellent video doesn't contain 1/10th of the major incidents that have occurred in basketball arenas over the past 20-30 years. Proves that in Europe every derby is a goddamn war, as opposed to the indifferent circus that is the NBA. It's unfathomable that you can go back to watching NBA after you have experienced a single European derby.
Žalgiris were in a huge financial crisis at that moment and these brothers' behaviour cost us a huge penalty to add to these financial struggles. So i am more in a "screw them" side of thinking instead of well done. I hope the ban to enter arena is never lifted.
Just about a week ago watched a clip on Lebron's return to Cleveland (his 1st game with the Heat vs the Cavs). The commenters from the US were shocked by the crowd's behaviour but knowledgable geeks like me just laughed them in the face. Those "wild" fans are nothing but choir boys compared to these dudes.

Explosives used to be the least of problems, when fans in the 90s were throwing metal bracelet watches, coins by the handful, bricks, wooden beams, even knives at the court. Back then no one cared about explosives. I won't forget a story about the late Jack McCloskey (GM of Detroit Pistons) scouting a game in Athens back in the late 80s, at a very small court of capacity less than 1000 (called "The Indian's Tomb", don't ask why). I think it was Panathinaikos vs. PAOK. When he saw the riot police he was wondering "what are these guys with the helmets and shields doing in here?!" Then the first explosives went banging and McCloskey was like "let's get outta here, they're shooting at us!" LOL that was awesome, that was some proper rite of passage.
Machetes are very common "weapons" for sports fans in Turkey. By common I mean it is very normal. It's the weapon of choice for Turkish hooligaas. We call it the "doner blade."
Vasilakopoulos regime fucked up Greek basketball. He helped PAO blindly and destroyed the rest of the teams. There are songs for "Vazel-akopoulos" (vazeloi are the pao fans).. Vasilakopoulos left and the Greek Basketball is rising once again hopefully...
Please just please make video about Partisan de la Fuenlabrada. About how Partizan Belgrade played home games in Spain and won european champions league 1992. That was something to remember.
You dont have a lot of video material from 90s and early 00s. Even in recent years there was a situation where red star fans were shaking construction while partizan player was shooting free throw. Nobody did anything, game just went on. A lot of other situation, cant be counted...
Please do a part 2. Can you imagine Russell Westbrook or Kevin Durant having to deal with crazied fans like this. They would cry, whine and complain. Westbrook lost his mind over a little popcorn imagine a battery or bottle. And you can't confront fans in Europe like in America. Westbrook or Durant wouldn't last a week in Europe dealing with the fans. TO SOFT and feminine. Imagine NBA players going to Euroleague and telling the fans they arent playing/ load management. There would be riot's. Euroleague is the BEST.
I said it that day and will keep saying it: NO FENER FAN will ever wear pitch BLACK - our color has always been Yellow. And shouting “istanbul istanbul”? No fan base does that in Turkey. Still quite fishy to me.
20 years ago in a game between Hapoel holon vs Jerusalem an Hapoel Holon fan threw some king of an exploding firework into the court , a security guy picked it up and it exploded in his hand , he lost all his fingers th-cam.com/video/Jo0fH0d44tA/w-d-xo.html
And in Greece it happened to a female security guard who caught one (one of the big ones that smoke before they explode) to get it off the field because she thought it was a smoke flare.

@@DimShamrock It was the Pao presidents controling the refs and Vasilakopoulos trying to destroy Greek basketball as a whole (he succeeded) that gave birth to the violence
Guys, I joined your channel because of the your great interviews and analyses. I do not want to see how a bunch of idiots destroy my sport! So, why are you even showing this? To attract viewers and generate more clicks? I strongly recommend you go back to your roots and forget about a part 2!!!
No. It's important people are aware of this shit. Greek, Serbian, Lithuanian Doesn't matter where the fans are from, none of this is normal civilized behavior. Whilst the Greeks have realized and gotten better in the last few years, The Serbs keep trying to see how long before they get kicked out of euroleague permanently.
@@xosemblanco Which is why you are 2nd (let's assume you are a Real fan, at best) and we're 1st. It's an entertainment we aren't even playing. Wow. That right there is why they talk about Greek fans and not Spanish fans. Ever notice how those clips never include Spaniards? What do you think this is? Theater? Why do you think they call it a "Home Field Advantage"? Also what makes you think that you have manners and we don't? How do you know that they didn't insult our manners or even our intelligence with what they did on the pitch? Last but not least, and because I have a recent example on this in a match between AEK and Promitheas. Even if you play the "customer in a cinema" card. I expect to see pure basketball for 40 minutes. No dodgy decisions, no coaches reacting to a right call, no players provoking the fans by their hand gestures.
@@xosemblanco It's not entertainment to them. It's their whole life. Their whole persona depends on the team. Don't try to argue with them. They're just one level above the ape mentally. They're not capable of understanding the true values of sportsmanship.
@@xosemblanco Also the Olympiacos fans that are liking this reply, out of spite, are the only ones that don't need provocation. Losing is their only provocation. 😉
@@xosemblanco leave manners at home. You are going to baskrtball game to root for your team. My team played as host in front of Fuenlabrada people. And that was beautifull. Partizan de la Fuenlebrada they called us that year. We were welcomed and cheerd like we were some Spanish team. Beautifull.
I like clubs that can manage to find the middle ground between "no supporters, only customers seating where we tell them, next to supporters of the other team, eating and drinking and playing with the jumbotron during the game" and "lighting flares indoors, throwing metal and glass at players and opposing fans, looking for fights". Many Partizan games impressed my with their atmosphere without turning violent, but the derbies are too explosive. It seems to me like the Spanish league and the German league find this middle ground. I'm French, the French league lacks atmosphere and has a bit of a clash of the generations, with either elder "villagers" from southwest France playing music, or younger, more urban fans, blasting hip-hop. But all the games I've been to were pleasant, non-violent, and had good vocal support for the teams without the need of fake chants through the speakers like in the NBA.
The only difference is, nobody's scared to go to Alba and get a win. We do it every year. In Greece and Serbia, teams are actually afraid they might lose points.
@@DimShamrock lol Wake the fuck up, Serbia has 2 Teams that are fighting for the bottom of Euroleague, Greece has 2 teams that are actual contenders, but neither league has a competitive teams outside of the top 2. You want competive league with competitive games 99% of the time? Watch Spanish League. If Euroleague was based on performance, half of euroleague would just be Spanish Teams.
