This man got hit in the head with a flare and he still went out there and played.. And u have NBA players flopping and cry and can't play over a broken nail. Wtf. Whole different breeds. Respect.
Kyle Hines is a legend
Kyle may just be the best overseas american basketball player ever
@@igntvsk3085 What about Anthony Parker? He averaged above 21 PIR in the Euroleague with Maccabi.
Kyle was just something else indeed. Absolute legend, he gave 101% every single second
@@bfahren Anthony Parker is great also but Kyle has been in like 9 Final 4s straight and has 4 Euroleague titles
Respect for Greece and Turkey from Serbia🇷🇸
Respect to Serbia as well
we 3 are more passionate than the entire world
Respect bro
Respect from Turkey too bro 🙏🏼🇹🇷
Do not pass out serbia brother, turkiye,greece and serbia are the holy trinity
Facts: Greek, Serbian, Turkish basketball atmosphere is insane. You will not find that in other countries.
For real
now imagine if all of them are in the same place in the same time
@@rex4487 I don't even want to think to be in a place, when Serbians play Turkish. F. DAT.

A lot of tough players from the United States get real humble when they go over to Europe and play. For a very good reason.
No it's stupid... Basketball isn't meant for that vibe. It's a Gentleman's game, not American Football or soccer.
@@kylem1112 Is that why most of the players are hood rats? Because it's a gentleman's game?
@@kylem1112 "soccer" opinion rejected
@@qwertzu1195 It's not called "football" in much of the English speaking world. I don't care what you call it. Lol. We call it soccer whether you like it or not. I don't understand the issue.
@@qwertzu1195 Apparently you Dismiss, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Ireland. Who call it "Soccer" I don't need to hear you opinion on anything. My first language is English, yours is probably not.
Greetings from Greece , thank you all guys for playing here , thank god you survived now you are ready to join the U.S marines with no training :)
Hahahahhahahaha, good one!
facts
Marines are joke for Balkan fans. lol
Why thank a fantasy figure for them surviving?
That's like thanking Donald Duck.
@@OriginalPuro Well they believe dude, so your statement makes no sense.
I find it very funny when American commentators say that the audience is making noise when I've seen futsal games with 5,000 fans being noisier
Americans live in a bubble. That pretty much sums it up.
Um benfica sporting rebenta com os timpanos
American fans don’t have a chant or not active they rather eat a whole meal than watch the game
This is me when they talk about how amazing the NY and Philly home atmospheres are
@@wonderlandian8465 NY crowd seems to me like a bunch of rich people who are just in the game to appear on camera at the sideline laughing and cheering.
and the narrative in the states is still that euros are soft
Well western Europe is what youll notice about all these stories is that theyre from the Balkans so thats a whole other world Eatern Europe and the Balkans are crazy like this in every way even day to day life western europe soft af doe
@@nikolastanojevic4983 im from balkan. I know all that. But even in western europe fans are way crazier than in states.
@loco mixer exactly... Nba players won't stand a chance
People gonna learn
@@locomixer im from england and a bit off topic from just basketball but in the 80s and 90s before severe punishment there was always fights in mainly football, there still is but not to the extent it was
Here’s the reason: the vast majority of basketball clubs in Europe are owned by the fans. Clubs are part of the neighborhood, city, country as much as Americans are fond of Apple Pie. People are emotionally, financially and historically invested. It’s constant singing for the entirety of the game. Best put this way: it’s a soccer atmosphere in an enclosed arena. Not that weaksauce shit: de-de-nce… no high school , college or NBA atmosphere can compare.
Those are all parts of it but really it's just a different culture
@@wonderlandian8465 nba is afrachise system...thats the differencie
Yes, and price of tickets plays a big part too. Look at British football... hooligans were everywhere, on all the games, causing havoc, fighting etc since the 70's. That all changed after they started privatizing clubs. Now the hooligans are gone as working class can't afford to go to regular EPL games. Now when you see Chelsea or Arsenal play you can't barely hear the fans. Similar to the NBA
Basket ball "franchises" in USA are simply a courtain to hide people goe there to eat pop corn, colas with hot dogs and other junk stuff. They have to accompany the game with piano notes, cheer liders, clowns .... and things which have nothing to do with the "sport" to try and keep peoples eyes away from the pop corn buckets...... ha ha ha ....
In Europe people attending basket ball follow it with such a passion (same as football) that their stomacks can t admit anything and the match is well over and they have left the stadium way far back. Some nites they can t even sleep if the result has nt been the desired one.
@@medved4030 Literally no idea where you got this pure bullshit from.
1. Football clubs in Britain have - for the 150 years or so of the sport's existence - ALWAYS been privately owned. The ownership of a given club has nothing to do with hooliganism.
2. The lack of hooliganism has nothing to do with the price of tickets. Hooliganism was stamped out as part of a deliberate campaign by the clubs, the football authorities and the government as a result of thugs going too far with their shit in the mid 80s. Google "the Heysel disaster" and "the Popplewell inquiry" for details on that.
So cool to hear the players’ perspective
Happy to see these guys feeling the love and understanding the solidarity. It's not about the winning, it's about fighting for it together.
sports in USA = Entertainment
sports in the rest of the world = this is WAR !!!!!
James Gist is an amazing story teller.
He truly is
Yeah wish we get more hes stories are crazy lol
Yeah ...a real storyteller...god bless him.
Greece and Yugoslavia started the hole thing.turkey following after two decades.
I think that Americans could learn something from 2years ago when Miami and Dallas played and there were 2500 Slovenians and you couldn’t here nothing else, they could learn something about devotion and passion to the club from us Europeans … they suck only sitting in their chairs and clapping hahaha
Facts! The Slovenians were so passionate at that game it made me chant along with them. Go Heat🔥
@@dtywuandavis5848 tbh i think it has alot to do with the basic mindset of the fans in america fans go into the stadium to see a show to be entertained and in europe it is a religion or better a replacement for war
So true ahahahahahaha
NBA chorus be like DE FENSE *CLAP CLAP*
when was it? was it a friendly summer's game in slovenia, or just a bunch of slovenian tourists in a regular nba game or something?
@@adamraz6377 i think it was in USA actually if I'm not mistaken because dragic is playing for the heat and doncic for dalas but we love them both
I'd love for everyone to experience the Olympiakos - Panathinaikos rivalry. Nothing quite like it
Is that in the same city, cuz crazy as that is gala vs fener is basically a rivalry and derby.
@@makavelimusolini1036 It's basically in the same city yes. Piraeus (Olympiacos home) is the biggest port in Greece located just outside the center of Athens, Panathinaikos is the "Athenian" club along with AEK but they are basically the two fanbases fighting for dominance in the area.
It doesn't get much crazier than those derbies as the players themselves have stated in these videos. And historically they have both been elite clubs in Europe so the best players have played in those derbies which always ads to the level
You acutally never seen Partizan vs Red Star. Serbian derby is the best derby in the world
@Kendall Rutherford in 80s or 90s
Crvena zvezda against anyone.
7:49 That is Belgrade, Serbia! ❤️💙🤍
Country where 2021 NBA-MVP Nikola Jokić was born and raised! 😉
Gravediggers love you James!
🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍
4:05 the gentleman who beats the police with his crutch is winner
xD
What a gentleman!
He's a Greek that's why,
Comparing Us with europeans, they make NBA look liek a bunch of kids watching a movie at a Middle school class, while in europe it's warzone bunch of adults 😂😂
Just different cultures
Its not just basketball either its soccer even waterpolo its a way of life for us we are prepared to travel anywhere just to back our team regardless of expense
If you meet the Ultras don't say soccer or better do adrenaline rush.
Thank you for Part 2! Love hearing these stories
If i was a bored american or western european i would rather visit these Balkans derbies, something like a tourist schedule :D . I guarantee quality experience that will stay forever :D no joking. Also some of them will get addicted if they get lucky enough to visit emotional and intensive game. I'll never forget my 1st match, long back in 2005 when i was 14. The feelings in the stomach and that whole explosion of emotions i had can't be described with words. So i got somehow addicted to these emotions, it was and it is something so special that only people who known and felt it can understand... Also important and meaningful things for every men's character have been learnt at the stadium. I understood what is loyalty, honor and respect at the stadium ... not at school, neither anybody else. That's why the media tries to make football fans look so bad and try to scare normal people who know nothing at all... But its too much of the topic, I've written too much, already :D Greetings from Levski Sofia, Bulgaria!
lol
USA: Europes soft.
Balkans: 👁👄👁
Lmao these stories hilarious af.... Fans over here on a complete different emotional level
Never seen worse fans than the Americans, no passion for sports over there
Usa got no passion in general, maybe only passion for hamburgers
“It’s just basketball” nah man, for us is more than that, is legacy, it’s our team, our city; no matter if we are the worst team in the league playing against the champ, we are 100% in it!
They're talking about Greek basketball fans. They're the most passionate and toughest in Europe.
@Shades 2.0 😵
@Shades 2.0 lol, excuse me?
thanks for the part 2 brother love gg
9:20 20 minutes after the game and we lost, PIONIR is full hahhahahaah yeah baby GROBARIIII
Actually the cup final game they r talking about with the flare on Hines..the game took place in a stadium supposed to be neutral ground..and they allowed fans from both sides...which is very rare especially between PAO-Olympiakos..organized fans of both sides are not allowed in Greece in any sport..coz there will be dead people on the stands..this shit is serious..when u go to see a game..dont u ever make the mistake to wear the opposite team's jersey..not even at the streets...
Last time that happened since too
@@wonderlandian8465 what?
@@crespossss both teams fans being in the same arena
part 3 - 100 now,please!
NBA and NFL needs to make thier games cheaper so it can get hype like that
I am glad you guys are alive ☺️😀
Imagine this at a basketball game and i think the average basketball court in Europe has the capacity of 20,000k people. Now imagine football which i think the average capacity for a foot ball stadiums is like 60,000k imagine the chaos at a football match.
the difference is that basketball arenas the fans are directly next to the court in most cases, in football especially in these countries it's different.
@@wonderlandian8465 yeah there is a moat between te grass and the stand sometimes
Basketball is much more intense, as football can be monotone. In basketball you ride waves of energy when your team goes on a run, plus fans are right next to court you can literally feel cemment shaking a bit. Down there.
@@mpetkovic26 sure, but much more people are at big football games which makes the crowd much more electric
Hehehe this is funny. Back in the 80ies and the 90ies There was a Cage around the audience.
welcome to the balkans, thank god that the fans are normal andfight with fists and not the real guns
Unfortunately there have been instances where things have escalated to guns and knives in the balkans too
One more thing balkans are more famous about fighting with w weapons(sticks, flares, etc not guns) than the polish or russian they are famous by fighting only fists
come to Belgrade and watch Zvezda Partizan and get out alive lmao
Saw a video of partizan fans lighting fires in redstar own stadium during a soccer game crazy seens
@@MrDukey85 They nuts
This is Sparta-THIS IS SERBIA!!!😂
The game trey thompkins talks about was the best game i have ever been
Europe fans are playing own game
Cry baby LeBron wouldn't survive. He may be great but he's soft.
That's too much, chill, Lebron would be dominant in any league
@@wonderlandian8465 yes he will be dominant but after every game he is going to cry in press conference
@@wonderlandian8465: so dominat that he changed teams to get rings MJ is the greatet but i love Rodman the worm
He wouldn't of gotten off the Bus.
That's why Pat Bev is the way he is 😂...those years playing Euroball
For some reason this is funny
why?
Yes , it is funny (for us at least) and ,yes I am from Greece .
@@wonderlandian8465 passion brings the best and the worst of humanity.
If came here and see this atmosphere for first time, it wasn't be funny for you. You will cross your fingers to get out alive from this.
im laughing so hard i spit out my coffee i remeber stupid flares settin my hair on fire i just pat the fire out
James Gist is a good storyteller.
next has to be about European coahes too :P
Yep! Different breed
Its not a game.
Its a race brothers.
TURKEY SERBIA GREECE : PASSION AND HİSTORY
USA : MCDONALD'S
The Serbian no 1
kyle hines looks superstoned :D
If the Pacers players tried that malice at the palace shit in Belgrade, Athens, Istanbul or Tel Aviv etc. we'd be mourning Metta World in Pieces today.
Europe passions
I guess it helps to have a free healthcare system to take care of whatever happens in this mess.
I know my home town nba team (newcastle Eagles) -i think they called-
does rly well here in UK but never been to a match ....im tempted now...and tbh all this the americans talking about its nothing new over here .........alot of the time its organaized fights and they wont involve those not involved atleast in football....but sometimes it does happen and that sucks
Welcome to Balkans
It takes balls to cross that ocean and come and play in the Balkans. That is why everyone here always shows extra love and respect for these type of players.
When i was 14teen i Played Basketball in Germany After ouer Youth Games ...we fight with ouer Parents against other parents..it’s normal Here in Europe ..Max Father Didnt speek with My uncle for 18teen Years because he Support a difrent Team
Team sports in Europe is serious.
Olympiakos fan for 38 years. It's too extreme. Passion is amazing but it has gotten out of control. Soccer fans were worse back in the day. This though is why Giannis, Joker and Luka don't get intimidated by NBA Fans. After Balkan fans the worst NBA stadium is a tea party.
Most fanatics fans in Greece PAOK OLYMPIACOS END GOD MERCY 🇬🇷😂😂😂😂💙💙💙💙💙🤑🤑🤑🤑
that's not euroleague atmosphere, that's just few countries like Greece, turkey and serbia. Those guys are nuts
israeli and lietuva are great fans.. italians and germans are ok, french more and less. spain is ok except barca and madrid, those fuckers are boring like muricans
IN Europe we live and die by team we support. I don't think we have definition of word bandwagon. LETS GO KAUNAS ZALGIRIS!!!
Link the source videos
Panathinaikos 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
More
It was Arena, not Pionir.
Pionir is smaller but great accoustic.
And you could learn what we were singing James, you red&white lost soul.
Turkey basketboll fans are crazy😳
FYI this is not being tough. This is being insane.
WE STILL FINISHED THE GAME!!
lithuania have kauno zalgiris
its like nba playoffs in Lithuania
@@TheAltafir We still had better atmopshere compared to majority Euroleague clubs.

You know it's a european game when riot police is involved XD
Commander:

I think the European sports theater is just a massive "Fuck it, let's get this over with"
I fucking love my continent
It's the spirit of Europa :D
Welcome to Europe 😂
i wish they articulated a bit more to actually understand wth they're talking about
Just look at some videos type ultras or somezhing its football but its similar
Michael Jordan vasalized half of Europe during his reign...
Even though those parts of Europe played just as long.
Kaunas Zalgiris was the reason the USSR collapsed all because they beat the Red Army team. That's how much sports in Europe mean to people.
We usually throw oranges with a few razor blades stuck on them to the other side since they banned Molotov coctails… they are less powerful but fancier!
There's no reason to rationalize acting like that.
And it is very sad to be this way , no constitution in an arena whatsoever, people here , in my country , Greece, have no regard for their reputation cause they are animals. Sometimes I am ashamed for my country and culture. No real balls
This shit weird lol they going that crazy over sports bruh.
It's just a different culture. In these places people are born in families supporting certain teams and there it's literal Mafia involved in certain of these clubs
@@wonderlandian8465 Not these places bro every continent has a fanatical football support culture but in Europe the Balkans have a culture to support every support your club plays.
Its not just a sport, its like your family, its where you came from. You support your team till you die.
You wouldn't get it.
@@thalisrincon94 I get that but to be assaulting and spitting on players for playing basketball is nuts lol
@@marleymarsss yes, disrespectfull but here people get to serious all this. Is more than religion
Σκέτη ντροπή, τίποτα άλλο.
Καλά χαλάρωσε. Όλος ο κόσμος έχει να λέει για τους οπαδούς μας και εσύ κράζεις. Σίγουρα πολλά περιστατικά δεν θα πρέπει να γίνονται αλλά άλλο οι οργανωμένοι και άλλο οι απλοί φίλαθλοι. Η ατμόσφαιρα στο γήπεδο δεν βγαίνει από 1 κερκίδα. Ή έχεις έδρα ή όχι. Απλά είναι για τους Αμερικανούς άλλη φάση γιατί εκεί είναι επιχειρήσεις όχι ομάδες. Στην Ευρώπη τη πονάς την ομάδα. Στην Αμερική έχουν φύγει ομάδες από μια πόλη και έχουν πάει σε άλλη και κανένας δεν είπε τίποτα (βλέπε Sonics). Στην Ευρώπη είναι αδιανόητο να γίνει αυτό γιατί πολύ απλά η ομάδα είναι συνδεδεμένη με την περιοχή. Υπάρχει άλλη κουλτουρα, υπάρχει αγάπη και πάθος (και φυσικά υπερβολική αγάπη και μίσος). Οι ομάδες πρεσβευουν πράγματα στην Ευρώπη.
All I can take from this video is that Euro league fans can't behave themselves lol
That's one way to look at it xD
Euro fans are passionate unlike usa
@@davidjr4903 you can be passionate without trying to hurt players/ purposefully disrupting the game.
americans are just soft.
funny for a cou try that cal euros softies. small reminder that Patrick Beverley was a really nice boy in europe. in the us he acting all gangster lmaooo
@@tchellovalente2373 i ain’t even American 😂 you can enjoy sports without trying to injure other people or players. Learn some common sense and basic respect
