Second European video is video of Red star supporters. It is a club from Serbia, Belgrade. Their supporters carry the flags and all the banners to all the games. "Flames" are actually torches. Greece, Serbia and Turkey will give you the craziest experience on the stands.

When you asked where was that, Turkey. No, it was in Serbia and Crvena Zvezda Beograd/Red Star Belgrade played. In Euroleague games fans always cheer like this so nobody can hear the Euroleague anthem. Another fact is that in Europe official fan clubs have a word to say when it comes to club´s structure. But the most important fact is that in Europe the club means everything to the fans. We don´t watch the games just to be seen, we watch the games because we love the club and in a lot of cases the love for the club is passed from parents to their children
This is 100% true. I'm a big delija (Crvena Zvezda fan) and I chose Crvena Zvezda because my grandpa and uncle are also huge delijas. Lot's of my friends also chose the team they root for because their father and/or grandpa are also big fans.
Red star sounds "(Ts)Crvena Zvezda" , like if Tsitsipas was inscript Cicipas. In Bulgaria we say Цървена Звезда or "Carvena Zvezda". Legendary team. Delije or Делье, or Делие, the name of the fan club on the ribon, come from turkish word "deli" - mad.
Balkan games in general are super loud and lit. But greeks and serbs take that to another level. You can't imagine that, you need to see it to believe it.
Then thing is: They didnt practice any kind of choreography. Everybody know the songs, they watch the things other guys do... and then they react. It´s an organic thing. No cheography needed, just passion that infects everybody!

yeah, the only thing that is even slightly compareable to what clubs mean in Europe is maybe college football. The vibe there is completely different from the NFL.
The first vid is from ARIS THESSALONIKI and their fans are pure madness. The second is between Red Star ( Serbia) & Olympiakos ( Greece) and these 2 teams are like brothers so the atmosphere is magical. You cannot distinguish the fans cause they re both red colors and they are sitting together mixed like brothers.
@@gvogiaSerbian and Russian football and basketball teams even have “pobratimy” (brother teams) in their code, and some Russian fans are as crazy as Serbian fans, because Serbians like us. I’ve literally had a random guy kiss me on the forehead, hug me and gimme a beer to slam with him at the bar when he found out I was Russian (he was Serbian) and we root for the same team.
We are very passionate about sport, best fans are in Greece, Serbia, Italy and Turkey. Matches are wild, many people from around the world come only to feel that atmosphere.
@@armaanhafiz Never mind security, in some matches they have cops fully decked out in riot gear with batons, helmets and shields. They won't tell them to "stop", they are just there to make sure both sides don't kill eachother.
In Europe is diferent, you can change the car, job, apartment, even your woman, but you can´t never, ever, ever, change club, is inerate in your identity.
Back in the day, winning in Greece, former Yugoslavia or Turkey, often resulted in the fans throwing all kinds of objects to the court, often injuring the visiting team or the referees.

Welcome to Greece (this is Greek, not European basketball). Watch games between Aris-Paok, Olympiakos-Panathinaikos or between them. Enjoy. Actually I know a US basketball player who did not want to leave Greece and he had the best time in his career in Greece.
US sports is kinda cute.. There's always a cancer sick kid and a war veteran, who gets a pair of smelly shoes and a Michael Jackson type entertaining in the halftime. In Europe it is passion and way of life - We wave our flags and support our teams by chanting.
Unfortunately it can also get violent in Europe. I once went to watch hockey game, was wearing visitor's jersey and won. Home team supporters threw rocks at us after the game.
@@duckeh1952 you watched hockey in Europe? Bro, hockey ain’t a famous sport here, unless in Scandinavia and Russia. First and by far, it’s football (soccer ), then probably basketball , if you already got scared at hockey, don’t go to a football match wearing rival colors.
I smirk every time they say that European players are soft. Try playing in this type of arena. Visiting team fans are usually banned. Also, the first and last games were in Greece
@@stalfithrildi5366It sucks but when both fan bases are like this, imagine how many young idiots fight with each other And they pull knives And throw things at each other I guess we can't have passion without the trouble that comes with it
The first EUROPE fans are from ARIS of Thessaloniki Greece and the game is local derby against PAOK. Third team fans are Panathinaikos fans from Athens, one of the biggest basketball clubs in Europe.This kind of atmosfere is normal in Blalkan Peninsula.
Can you imagine the feelings of one half of a stadium of American fans facing the other half filled with international fans from Europe ? Couldn't cope, could they ? You ask ' how can they allow this ? ' A better question is how could they stop it ?
@@alexteme4 I'd expect the European fans to be loud - very loud probably - but it is all a game of intimidation, isn't it ? For American fans intimidating the opposing team, they're stuck between throwing more confetti or a faster Mexican wave. Or both, perhaps. Just outclassed by people for whom their team is their very lives.
@@Kreditz404 There just seems to be a different level of commitment from the fans, doesn't there ? I've some exposure to American sporting events, and I've found the fans to be moderately enthusiastic - and polite, perhaps - but European fans live the game on a daily basis as you know. What was the comparison ? American football is like going to the library, western European football is passion incarnate, eastern European football is like inner city warfare. Still, there are worse ways to spend a Saturday ..... Regards
European fans would wipe the floor with the American fans easily. Europeans are singing about their team being their family, their love, their religion, their passion while Americans are mostly yelling "defense, defense!"
The game Red Star Belgrade vs CSKA in Belgrade was officially the loudest game in history of FIBA , and the official greeting to visitor clubs is :"Welcome to hell"
Even if you don’t have a fucking championship. There is Oly winning, Pana playing the final and all the others just playing for? Nothing more than having fan, they can’t dream. Kholossos that s good lost 39/39 games against Oly in his history...why to attend such a game? And a playoff serie Oly-Kholossos? It is boring for everyone. Oly just wait for EL games. Small teams just wait for nothing: they can’t have any goal!
In Europe, it's normal to bring fireworks, flares, be topless jumping singing all at the same time, no matter what sport it is. Ultra - From father to son
This is why we need a "Europe vs US" basket Ball 7 series between cities in the US and cities in Europe. Lets see if the American team can cope with this admosthere. And maybe then the European and international players can get the Credit they deserve as they one way of the other will carry the NBA the coming years.
Carry the NBA? I love seeing the best in the world come to the NBA. Same way they do it for soccer/football. But Americans continue to dominate the league and will do so for the foreseeable future
@@sbakernyc5761 doubt it, if you look at All the talent for the coming years the Best players Are international. If you like it or not NBA will be more international.

Nice reaction ...🙃🤟🏼🇬🇧
In US games are games. In Europe games are the ancient translation of wars. Cities are still "at war" through football and other sports. Countries vs countries etc.
The jumping clip is Red Star Belgrade vs CSKA Moscow I think in the Euro League. The Euro League anthem is actually played at the lineup but the crowd drown it out completely.
@@urosbjelic5151 I wish you more humor and more understanding ;-) It's name of sponsor, was wrote on the floor, so... How many Turkish we can see on this floor? Answer - only airlines ;-)
So making a noise for 60sec and then having looong periods of near silence is something impressive?! Few years into the future their attendance at Euroleague games is 5-6k spectators in total. Ridiculous.
@@jovanjorgovan23 What I have understood from the Eastern European and especially the Greek clubs is that there are very few moments of silence. We are not that crazy in Sweden, it's only football that really stir up feelings, but here at Malmö FF, the Most Champions of Sweden we sing nonstop from the warming up to the players leave the pitch after the game.
In USA, you get huge stadium and everything, but in Europe it's passion, BRO! They are crazy! Look at the football stadium! (what you're calling soccer)! Now, you will understand the pressure, the American players get when they come playing in Europe! It's madness! 😂👍✌️🎸🇫🇷
The firsts European video is from a Greek basketball team named Aris and believe this is the picture of EVERY SINGLE game, yes here in Greece this happens every time
To your question about chanting distracting the players: Yes but that's kinda the point. Your team gets fired up and the opposing side is just playing around a 130 dB loud crowd against them.
Could the great American NBA stars ever play with such an atmosphere in the stands? I don't think so. Europeans, on the other hand, have no problem playing in the NBA. Greek Giannis Antetokounmpo in 2019 and 2020 and Serbian Nikola Jokić in 2021 and 2022 are the mvps of the last 4 years.
@@jovanjorgovan23 You are right about Jokić, but I wanted to point out that Europeans can play without problems in the NBA, while Americans could not play under such pressure as in a match Partizan vs Red Star or Panathinaikos vs Olympiacos, Aris vs PAOK etc ... Greetings from Romania
It’s beautiful to see the European fans demonstrate that characteristic passion. For Europeans, basketball is even a lifestyle apart from soccer. Komm schon Bayern!! ❤
imagine being there. Its way more intense than a football game on a stadium. This is indoors, so its crazy loud, everybody's hyped and pumped. Its hard to describe the atmosphere there
Because there is a lot of history in Europe, it transcends sports. Wars, conflicts, uprisings, riots, territories, politics and even religion it's all part of the sport. So you grow passion, love and hatred from your childhood. Sports aren't just sports in Europe and SA, it's life. Let me give you an example. For instance the rivalry between Glasgow Rangers and Celtic in Scotland is rooted in a divide of views in politics, religion and their relationship with Ireland. Or with let's say Liverpool FC, they strongly dislike the Monarchy...or SS Lazio from Italy were/are Nazis. Barcelona want autonomy whereas Madrid/Spain are a monarchy etc. It's like that across all of Europe, not to mention the wars in the past. Clubs hate each other even if they are from different countries...and friendships exist as well between cluba from different countries. Amd it is passed down from generation to generation. Also what will help the US is to integrate a relegation/promotion system in sports, that way the stakes are high each year and you will see passion from the fans AND players will hundredfold.
Last clip is Panathinaikos vs Barcelona. I don't know if I spelled the Greeks right but I don't care. I'm a Swede that in Greece support Olympiakos and Aris.
With all due respect Greek brother that was a video of Red Star Belgrade when the floor was shaking. Partizan matches are no different. You've got Oly and Pan and there's fener, efes and galata in Turkey. If you want an atmosphere you go to see those teams.
In Europe our team is our passion, is our mission, is our home as fans. We bring in - in every kind of stadium: ice hockey, basketball, volleyball, football,.. - the passion, the chants, the flags,.. the match is on the field, the show is the crowd. And it's simply amazing and funny as hell. Bring this with your friends next time in the stadium. You'll see: it's contagious. All will follow.. but remember: passion is fire! ;-)
„We got the wave“ 😂😂😂 it’s hilarious! You have no clue as an American: you should watch a live football (soccer) game in England eg: these chants, fireworks, atmosphere is daily business for us 😜🤘
The prem has No atmosphere anymore because of corporations. Im sure championship still has atmosphere still tho, but really who cares if you dont have a team there
At 8:25 the club is Crvena Zvezda ( Red Star), from Serbia, and this is the Crvena Zvezda home stadium in Belgrade, this is the loudest fans... Maybe in the world.
it's simple, in the U.S sport is something they watch, here in Europe it is a way of life, our identity, our flesh and blood belong to our teams, and they belong to us, it's a full member of our families. That's the difference.
"how are they allowed this, bro?" You try to stop them ahahaha Wait till someone tell you to react to European basketball *COACHES* ahahahahah you think the fans are nuts? Wait till you see the coaches. ;)
Until the meet Spain or a Spanish team.spain is the European country with most titles, 2x world-champion and the undisputed European titles holder. Sorry dude
@@samleyton5316 Real has 7 titles 65 years ago when the basketball was semi-amaeur in Europe and 4 of them after 1980. Panathinaikos has 7 titles in the new era of proffecional basketball meaning 7 titles in 7 finals in the last 28 years. You are ok with that?
This is not Europe basket-ball but eastern european basket-ball, it's different 😆 I can assure you in France it's not like that. The eastern europeans are really passionate and also because the clubs are the same than in football (soccer for you). Olympiakos, Panathinaikos, Fenerbahce etc these clubs have their football and their basketball club so the fans are usually supporting both (because they support the club, not the sport)
The fact is that they dont pay for experience as you said they pay to support their club they sing to support their club the light torches to support their team they do all of those to boost the morale of the team and the sad reality is that this stopped happening in recent years i mean they still support their team but they dont go that hard as they did before
Southeast, East Europe are the passionate and louder supporters. All of them in your video are from Southeast. Each team had supporter leader who orchestrated what song coming next. I brought my American wife in Serbian basketball derby (Partizan-Red Star) and she was crying entire game with big smile on her face
Though I’m from Belgium I can’t say I like the European atmosphere more. In the USA a basketball game is family event, in Europe it’s a hooligan thing and all about creating bad names destroying stuff and ruining the match.
It's about the game. You are swayed with emotion if you are in balkan basketball game. This is how you should feel. Feel proud of your team and support them. It's amazing atmosphere. The US game they showed was just a snore fest.
In reference to red and white fans for which you had to take down your earphones: It's not in Turkey, this is Red Star from Serbia, Belgrade. And don't wonder if noise would have been any louder if we scored, because this was the loudest point of cheering. Point was to mute the Euroleague anthem which plays before every game, and was playing at that point. I guess we succeeded, as you couldn't hear the anthem by a long shot. Also note this game was played in Belgrade Arena which has capacity of around 20000 people and was full to the brim. Red Star main playground was Pionir Hall which has capacity of only around 8000, but makes much bigger noise and shakes more too, due to stands being much more narrow and closer to field. True, this bigger arena is much more comfortable for both players and fans in terms of space and ventilation, but in Pionir you would feel the real deal.
Wait till you see the football fans in Europe lmao. Don’t get me wrong the basketball fans are insane but the football fans are just a bigger mass. Imagine this in 70000 seats stadium
8:56 LOL! That's the point! To support your team and discourage other team 😂 In EU it's a religion also we're not pussies to be offended by some jokes or singing and we don't be running to our lawyers screaming that it's not fair 😁🤷♀
Mediterranean people are passionate people my friend. European basketball is better than American basketball right now. Because the NBA has become a really boring league. Basketball in the US died with Jordan’s generation.
But I feel like this is true for many sports in Europe e.g. in my „state“ in Switzerland we play a lot of ice hockey and literally every game has these fires and stuff it’s kinda funny to see how calm people are in the USA
ปีที่แล้ว +1
american fans go to the game as if they are watching a romantic movie on tv but the european basketball fan definitely brings the spirit of basketball to life on the court. In short, the god of basketball is in Europe.
Greece & UK are the loudest fans!!!! theres another video of UK football-soccer...theyre jumping simultaneously and the stadium decks are actually moving!!!!
Loudest fans in Basketball are in Greece, Serbia, Turkey.... Honorable mention, Croatia, Spain and Baltic states.... Football on the other hand has ultras everywhere in Europe, especially in south and eastern Europe... England was hell for football fans few decades ago, but not anymore...
The stadiums are designed like that to absorb impact think of it like earthquake resistant buildings of it was built too firm it'll crumble against the jumping pressure so they designed it to actually embrace impact in order to not collapse
I am Spaniard and I know how the atmosphere is in european sports. I have seen 2 NBA games and one MBL and the conclusion is that in USA you feel the same in the stadium than playing with your cousins in a family party. No intensity, no passion, no feelings... Only enjoyment.
Let's be honest, this type of celebration can be found in Europe, South America, Africa, and the Middle East. In the USA, if you make noise, you end up in jail. For most of us, It is passion, not a business. I have been to several sports on several stadiums/courts, and I never left disappointed. I like some Arab African chants, very political against their governments. The lyrics are touching af.
I know at least one pregame song that I think some crowds across the pond would use to get their energy level up even higher....the same song that was used for Greece's journey through the 1987 European Basketball Championships, which was 'The Final Countdown' by EUROPE. =)
5:28min That's how long I was waiting. I was calm. I was waiting. Drinking my can of beer 🍺 and waiting. Just. Waiting. And now. Oooooook. That's Europe. And that's how we love basketball. Don't you ever forget This is EUROPE !Europe is crazy about basketball. Thank you. 😏❤️🏀❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Just to explain a bit :) First european basketball game was olympiacos ( greece ) playing at home, but the other game was not turkey 😁 It was in belgrade ( serbia ) , crvena zvezda was hosting Cibona ( croatia ) After any years of trying, "the west" talked us into playing in some fictional league, to make up for war, 30 years ago.. On every meet, not just basketball game :D
Man... you chose GREEK BASKETBALL FANS to watch! The Greek basketball is the best in Europe, but the problem is... Greeks are SUPER ULTRA-FANATIC supporters in any kind of sport! If you thought it was "ouaou" in basketball, check what's happening in Greek football matches (and trust me, Greek football is HORRIBLE)...

You cannot distinguish the fans cause they re both red colors and they are sitting together mixed like brothers.
YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT ARIS... BUT RED STAR IS PLAYING AGAINST CSKA

@@gvogiaSerbian and Russian football and basketball teams even have “pobratimy” (brother teams) in their code, and some Russian fans are as crazy as Serbian fans, because Serbians like us.

@@johnb4593 All fans in Europe are good, but by far the craziest are Serbs, Greeks and Turks. It's not safe to go to their games.

In the USA it's BUSINESS ... and ENTERTAINMENT (passively CONSUMING the product).
"nobody tells them to stop" the most American comment ever:)))
"It affects the players .." lol .. that's the whole point bro
Who's gonna tell them to stop...the security 😅 they themselves just want to get home alive afterwards
@@armaanhafiz Never mind security, in some matches they have cops fully decked out in riot gear with batons, helmets and shields. They won't tell them to "stop", they are just there to make sure both sides don't kill eachother.
Why in God's name would they have to stop?
They were told over the loudspeakers to turn off the smoke/fire, otherwise the team will be penalized ( some fine or the next match closed for fans) .
Same thing in concerts. Americans go to watch the artist sing, we sing to the artist :)
In Europe is diferent, you can change the car, job, apartment, even your woman, but you can´t never, ever, ever, change club, is inerate in your identity.
Big true bro!!!! You can change everything, but not your team
Changing your club. Bro, ngl, I will prefer to cut my pnis off
Very true . I changed my wife , and got a new job a few months ago. But I will never change supporting Panathinaikos !!!

Back in the day, winning in Greece, former Yugoslavia or Turkey, often resulted in the fans throwing all kinds of objects to the court, often injuring the visiting team or the referees.

Welcome to Greece (this is Greek, not European basketball). Watch games between Aris-Paok, Olympiakos-Panathinaikos or between them. Enjoy. Actually I know a US basketball player who did not want to leave Greece and he had the best time in his career in Greece.
US sports is kinda cute.. There's always a cancer sick kid and a war veteran, who gets a pair of smelly shoes and a Michael Jackson type entertaining in the halftime.
In Europe it is passion and way of life - We wave our flags and support our teams by chanting.
Unfortunately it can also get violent in Europe. I once went to watch hockey game, was wearing visitor's jersey and won. Home team supporters threw rocks at us after the game.

Especially Greek fans are strong. Greece is a Basketball power anyway.
No visiting fans at all? Away days are the best thing about football, be gutted to not get them if I was this passionate about basketball
@@stalfithrildi5366 in greece away fans are also banned in football
@@stalfithrildi5366It sucks but when both fan bases are like this, imagine how many young idiots fight with each other

The first EUROPE fans are from ARIS of Thessaloniki Greece and the game is local derby against PAOK. Third team fans are Panathinaikos fans from Athens, one of the biggest basketball clubs in Europe.This kind of atmosfere is normal in Blalkan Peninsula.
Can you imagine the feelings of one half of a stadium of American fans facing the other half filled with international fans from Europe ? Couldn't cope, could they ? You ask ' how can they allow this ? ' A better question is how could they stop it ?
D*mn I like both the idea of the half and half fans and the last question. They surely can't stop them easily either peacefully!
@@alexteme4 I'd expect the European fans to be loud - very loud probably - but it is all a game of intimidation, isn't it ? For American fans intimidating the opposing team, they're stuck between throwing more confetti or a faster Mexican wave. Or both, perhaps. Just outclassed by people for whom their team is their very lives.
@@ourfarmhouseinspain Check the practice matches from Barca vs NY Red Bulls, most fans you see / hear are the Barca fans
@@Kreditz404 There just seems to be a different level of commitment from the fans, doesn't there ? I've some exposure to American sporting events, and I've found the fans to be moderately enthusiastic - and polite, perhaps - but European fans live the game on a daily basis as you know. What was the comparison ? American football is like going to the library, western European football is passion incarnate, eastern European football is like inner city warfare. Still, there are worse ways to spend a Saturday ..... Regards
European fans would wipe the floor with the American fans easily. Europeans are singing about their team being their family, their love, their religion, their passion while Americans are mostly yelling "defense, defense!"
The game Red Star Belgrade vs CSKA in Belgrade was officially the loudest game in history of FIBA , and the official greeting to visitor clubs is :"Welcome to hell"
In my country Greece its such an intense atmosphere in a basketball game between rivals!!! ΕΛΛΑΣ!!!!
Hehehe gypsies
I have to say... Greek sportfans are super crazy even on European standards.
Even if you don’t have a fucking championship. There is Oly winning, Pana playing the final and all the others just playing for? Nothing more than having fan, they can’t dream. Kholossos that s good lost 39/39 games against Oly in his history...why to attend such a game? And a playoff serie Oly-Kholossos? It is boring for everyone. Oly just wait for EL games. Small teams just wait for nothing: they can’t have any goal!
In Europe, it's normal to bring fireworks, flares, be topless jumping singing all at the same time, no matter what sport it is.

This is why we need a "Europe vs US" basket Ball 7 series between cities in the US and cities in Europe. Lets see if the American team can cope with this admosthere.
And maybe then the European and international players can get the Credit they deserve as they one way of the other will carry the NBA the coming years.
Carry the NBA? I love seeing the best in the world come to the NBA. Same way they do it for soccer/football. But Americans continue to dominate the league and will do so for the foreseeable future

In US games are games. In Europe games are the ancient translation of wars. Cities are still "at war" through football and other sports. Countries vs countries etc.

The jumping clip is Red Star Belgrade vs CSKA Moscow I think in the Euro League.
The Euro League anthem is actually played at the lineup but the crowd drown it out completely.

So making a noise for 60sec and then having looong periods of near silence is something impressive?! Few years into the future their attendance at Euroleague games is 5-6k spectators in total. Ridiculous.
@@jovanjorgovan23 What I have understood from the Eastern European and especially the Greek clubs is that there are very few moments of silence.
We are not that crazy in Sweden, it's only football that really stir up feelings, but here at Malmö FF, the Most Champions of Sweden we sing nonstop from the warming up to the players leave the pitch after the game.
In USA, you get huge stadium and everything, but in Europe it's passion, BRO! They are crazy! Look at the football stadium! (what you're calling soccer)! Now, you will understand the pressure, the American players get when they come playing in Europe! It's madness! 😂👍✌️🎸🇫🇷

To your question about chanting distracting the players: Yes but that's kinda the point. Your team gets fired up and the opposing side is just playing around a 130 dB loud crowd against them.
Could the great American NBA stars ever play with such an atmosphere in the stands? I don't think so. Europeans, on the other hand, have no problem playing in the NBA. Greek Giannis Antetokounmpo in 2019 and 2020 and Serbian Nikola Jokić in 2021 and 2022 are the mvps of the last 4 years.
Jokic played for a minor club here, I don't think he experienced this sort of atmosphere that much, if ever.
@@jovanjorgovan23 You are right about Jokić, but I wanted to point out that Europeans can play without problems in the NBA, while Americans could not play under such pressure as in a match Partizan vs Red Star or Panathinaikos vs Olympiacos, Aris vs PAOK etc ... Greetings from Romania
@@jovanjorgovan23 in the minor leagues is even worse than that for the players....
@@jovanjorgovan23 True, but he also had to play against big clubs, and knows the atmosphere really well.
Luka Doncic played for Real Madrid so he is a veteran in such an athmosphere.
It’s beautiful to see the European fans demonstrate that characteristic passion. For Europeans, basketball is even a lifestyle apart from soccer. Komm schon Bayern!! ❤
Europe has us beat by a long shot. That is amazing how turned up they are! I was hyped. It's not even close!!
imagine being there. Its way more intense than a football game on a stadium. This is indoors, so its crazy loud, everybody's hyped and pumped. Its hard to describe the atmosphere there
Because there is a lot of history in Europe, it transcends sports. Wars, conflicts, uprisings, riots, territories, politics and even religion it's all part of the sport. So you grow passion, love and hatred from your childhood. Sports aren't just sports in Europe and SA, it's life. Let me give you an example. For instance the rivalry between Glasgow Rangers and Celtic in Scotland is rooted in a divide of views in politics, religion and their relationship with Ireland. Or with let's say Liverpool FC, they strongly dislike the Monarchy...or SS Lazio from Italy were/are Nazis. Barcelona want autonomy whereas Madrid/Spain are a monarchy etc. It's like that across all of Europe, not to mention the wars in the past. Clubs hate each other even if they are from different countries...and friendships exist as well between cluba from different countries. Amd it is passed down from generation to generation. Also what will help the US is to integrate a relegation/promotion system in sports, that way the stakes are high each year and you will see passion from the fans AND players will hundredfold.

With all due respect Greek brother that was a video of Red Star Belgrade when the floor was shaking. Partizan matches are no different. You've got Oly and Pan and there's fener, efes and galata in Turkey. If you want an atmosphere you go to see those teams.

it's simple, in the U.S sport is something they watch, here in Europe it is a way of life, our identity, our flesh and blood belong to our teams, and they belong to us, it's a full member of our families. That's the difference.

"they lit another flame?!?"... The most American comment
"One , two, three flames!!!"
first was Aris from Thessaloniki..second was a team from serbia and third was Panathinaikos from Athens.
Panathinaikos and Olympiacos in Greece, Red star and Partizan in Serbia, and Fenerbaçe / Anadolu efes in Turkey have the loudest crowds on the planet.

This is not Europe basket-ball but eastern european basket-ball, it's different 😆 I can assure you in France it's not like that.
The eastern europeans are really passionate and also because the clubs are the same than in football (soccer for you). Olympiakos, Panathinaikos, Fenerbahce etc these clubs have their football and their basketball club so the fans are usually supporting both (because they support the club, not the sport)

Europe games.....first is in Greece, then in Belgrade (Crvena Zvezda).....yes, the floor is shaking. Thats the passion for the Club
The fact is that they dont pay for experience as you said they pay to support their club they sing to support their club the light torches to support their team they do all of those to boost the morale of the team and the sad reality is that this stopped happening in recent years i mean they still support their team but they dont go that hard as they did before
Southeast, East Europe are the passionate and louder supporters. All of them in your video are from Southeast. Each team had supporter leader who orchestrated what song coming next. I brought my American wife in Serbian basketball derby (Partizan-Red Star) and she was crying entire game with big smile on her face
Though I’m from Belgium I can’t say I like the European atmosphere more. In the USA a basketball game is family event, in Europe it’s a hooligan thing and all about creating bad names destroying stuff and ruining the match.
It's about the game. You are swayed with emotion if you are in balkan basketball game. This is how you should feel. Feel proud of your team and support them.
It's amazing atmosphere. The US game they showed was just a snore fest.
Well you from Belgium I get it
I love it,greetings from Slovenia!

In reference to red and white fans for which you had to take down your earphones: It's not in Turkey, this is Red Star from Serbia, Belgrade. And don't wonder if noise would have been any louder if we scored, because this was the loudest point of cheering. Point was to mute the Euroleague anthem which plays before every game, and was playing at that point. I guess we succeeded, as you couldn't hear the anthem by a long shot. Also note this game was played in Belgrade Arena which has capacity of around 20000 people and was full to the brim. Red Star main playground was Pionir Hall which has capacity of only around 8000, but makes much bigger noise and shakes more too, due to stands being much more narrow and closer to field. True, this bigger arena is much more comfortable for both players and fans in terms of space and ventilation, but in Pionir you would feel the real deal.
Wait till you see the football fans in Europe lmao. Don’t get me wrong the basketball fans are insane but the football fans are just a bigger mass. Imagine this in 70000 seats stadium
8:56 LOL! That's the point! To support your team and discourage other team 😂 In EU it's a religion also we're not pussies to be offended by some jokes or singing and we don't be running to our lawyers screaming that it's not fair 😁🤷♀
Mediterranean people are passionate people my friend. European basketball is better than American basketball right now. Because the NBA has become a really boring league. Basketball in the US died with Jordan’s generation.
But I feel like this is true for many sports in Europe e.g. in my „state“ in Switzerland we play a lot of ice hockey and literally every game has these fires and stuff it’s kinda funny to see how calm people are in the USA
american fans go to the game as if they are watching a romantic movie on tv
but the european basketball fan definitely brings the spirit of basketball to life on the court.
In short, the god of basketball is in Europe.
Greeks my man !!! Craziest fans ever !!!!!
9:53 That is Serbia Red Star
Greece & UK are the loudest fans!!!!
theres another video of UK football-soccer...theyre jumping simultaneously and the stadium decks are actually moving!!!!
Only that part with floor shaking isn't Greece. Red Star Belgrade, Serbia.
Loudest fans in Basketball are in Greece, Serbia, Turkey.... Honorable mention, Croatia, Spain and Baltic states.... Football on the other hand has ultras everywhere in Europe, especially in south and eastern Europe... England was hell for football fans few decades ago, but not anymore...
The stadiums are designed like that to absorb impact think of it like earthquake resistant buildings of it was built too firm it'll crumble against the jumping pressure so they designed it to actually embrace impact in order to not collapse
UK...you're joking.
No.
UK .. hahahahaahha
I am Spaniard and I know how the atmosphere is in european sports. I have seen 2 NBA games and one MBL and the conclusion is that in USA you feel the same in the stadium than playing with your cousins in a family party. No intensity, no passion, no feelings... Only enjoyment.
Let's be honest, this type of celebration can be found in Europe, South America, Africa, and the Middle East. In the USA, if you make noise, you end up in jail. For most of us, It is passion, not a business.
I have been to several sports on several stadiums/courts, and I never left disappointed.
I like some Arab African chants, very political against their governments. The lyrics are touching af.
I know at least one pregame song that I think some crowds across the pond would use to get their energy level up even higher....the same song that was used for Greece's journey through the 1987 European Basketball Championships, which was 'The Final Countdown' by EUROPE. =)

Hi
Just to explain a bit :)
First european basketball game was olympiacos ( greece ) playing at home, but the other game was not turkey 😁
It was in belgrade ( serbia ) , crvena zvezda was hosting Cibona ( croatia )
After any years of trying, "the west" talked us into playing in some fictional league, to make up for war, 30 years ago..
On every meet, not just basketball game :D
lol
First video Aris Thessaloniki 🇬🇷
Second video Red Star Belgrade 🇷🇸
Third video Panathinaikos Athens 🇬🇷
The other game was Red Star Belgrade - against CSKA Moscow, not Cibona, because Cibona is not playing Euroleague since 1998.
Sve si promasio 😂😂😂
