- Tel Aviv Maccabi had its franchise peak between 2003 and 2005. It was like watching old clips or the European version of Showtime Lakers - they were fun, fast, and unbeatable.
In this video, BasketNews’ Augustas Suliauskas analyzes why this version of Maccabi was the best EuroLeague team ever assembled: how the core of Jasikevicius, Parker, Vujcic, and Baston was so efficient and why Pini Gershon was the perfect coach for this team.

3 Euroleague titles in 5 years (2007,2009, 2011).
The best team of all times
we agree!
Maccabi 2003-2005 was the most fun team ever to watch for sure. Then there was Panathinaikos of Obradovic; I believe that these two teams were the best ever.
Bro panathinaikos got 6 European cups in 11 years. Is there even a comparison?
@@gk1727 Maccabi of 2004 was a good unstoppable team, loved that team also, in my humble opinion there is no comparison. Not talking about cups but the way they played basketball, they were exciting to watch and you knew they would win from the start, every game became predictable.
Pana was a scary team but Maccabi was fun bball.
@@elivingt Exactly 👍

One off the few teams from Euroleagie history that I think could compete in NBA playoffs.
With nba rules zero chance lol. Their best player was a role player in the nba.
@@gvngbvngiggy ACTUALLY MACCABI WON A GAME OR TWO AGAINST NBA TEAMS
Maccabi set a points record in the final of the European Championship of 03/04 with a result of 118-74. Winning by 44 points in the European Championship final is inconceivable.
03/04*
That was one of the best nights of my life - I couldn’t stop screaming when the difference went up and up 🤩
I was 12 yrs and was spoiled with that forever
Skipper collapsed from the very beginning
it was amazing to be a Maccabi fan in those days. the individuals were so talented, the chemistry was so good, their game was so exciting. we called the 03-04 year "the ambulance season", since we won so many close games, people were passing out in the stadium and needed one. coach Pini Gershon and Jasikevicius were always fighting, since Jasikevicius didnt like taking orders. one night Jasikevicius's parents that visited Israel for the first came to see him play for the only time in Israel. Pini had a rule that in every game the first move will be a ball to the big guys under the basket for them to shot a solid shot. in that game Jasikevicius decided instead to take a 3. he missed. Pini benched him for the rest of the game, Jasikevicius played something like 20 seconds in the whole game that his parents came especially to watch. in the interview after the game Jasikevicius didnt make a fuss. he knew. on the other hand, one game Jasikevicius couldnt make a shot to save his own life, I think he was 0/8. we had one chance to win the game in the final seconds, and in the T/O Pini set a move for an isolation shot for Jasikevicius. the play worked, Jasikevicius banked it. in the post game interview Jasikevicius expressed shock that Pini gave him the final shot. despite their constant bickering they respected each other. Jasikevicius fit in Israel very well, even was married to an Israeli woman for a while. his tamper made him one of us, we accepted him with love. the rest were very good guys with a great temper, and winning always helps. it was a very intelligent team and you can see it in their game. if the first year was crazy, in their second year together it became easier. our second championship came smoothly, it's like we had no doubt we were the best. every Maccabi fan can reminisce with joy about those days.
I miss those Thursdays so much!!!!
BEST TEAM EVER
I remember those days - every night was a show of 90+ points and many many 20+ points win = definitely the BEST.
No team was a match against that Maccabi - it was incredible

Well, it's hard to judge since modern Israel exists only 74 years, that were interrupted with many wars.. A bit hard to develop good sports legacy like that..

@@puljano Don't do that man...
Unic Ensemble of great players and winners by heart.. it was so beautiful to watch
Israeli basketball fan here, thanks for giving one of our teams the credit and especially for the great Pini Gershon
Great video, it is a legendary team. The best ever in Europe. Every opponents were afraid to play against maccabi. Just like 96-98 Chicago bulls. Amazing team, not selfish, amazing basketball, great athletes.
When u do videos about Maccabi 2004
It's shows u understand couple things in basketball
This is the team that got me into euro league basketball. I recorded the 2004 final 4 off NBA tv and rewatched those games over and over. 2004 was such a good basketball year for me.
This team of Maccabi brings me chills.
They were legit nba team.
That final was unforgettable and the partying afterwards.
They were the best show in EU!
I think David Blat deserved a video.
I was in the army of Israel that days, and everyone were a fun of Maccabi (expect the fun of Hapoel Tel-Aviv/Jerusalem), they were so good that me and my friend started to go against Maccabi to keep the game alive.
This team was so good that it send 3 of it's players to nba in times it rarely happened. Sharas yaskivichus, Anthony parker ( he did some unbelievable games) , and maceo baston .
Both Parker and Baston played in the NBA before they joined Maccabi, while Jasikevičius came as the Euroleague & Eurobasket champion.
Good video, you forgot that Pini’s first assistant coach was David Blat.
He had a lot of impact as well, and lead Maccabi as well for another european cup, managing to be head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers.. 💫
It's sad that he is remembered as the coach who LeBron fired. He is a great coach and an excellent person.
@@TheKapei22 the reason I hate LeBron is Blatt, he deserved better and was kicked out simply bcuz he tried to do his job, it seems that he failed to realize the difference between NBA and EuroLeague
Anthony Parker until this day is considered the MJ of Europe - Air Parker. And he's my favourite of all time!
The 2nd is David blu.
you wish.. The goat of Europe is Nikos Galis.
@@procrustes7669 galis never won any championship
@@nero9958 he single carry won Eurobasket for Greece after beating yugoslavia and Soviet union including a eurobasket final. Moreover, he has been considered as the greatest european scorer ever by all stats in National teams.
@@procrustes7669 but not in euroleague
@@nero9958 he is the greatest scorer in euroleague with 32.4 points per game and he played FOR ARIS not a superhouse team to getting carried by every position and stop talking nonsense with euroleague titles. We are talking about European legacy in general. Spanoulis is X3 euroleague champion x3 MVP and his last 2 championships were with a a low BUDGET TEAM 11-12m against super teams of 35-40million. The king of euroleague Basketball is Spanoulis just to make you a historic lesson but this doesnt mean he was better than Nikos galis. The eurobasket 1987 achievement is greater than any euroleague title you can think of after beating Soviet union and Yugoslavia.
for sure the best, i remember watching the games knowing we are not going to lose no matter what..
gershon and blatt combination was amazing
I really don't know anything about the Euroleague, but these clips are nothing less than beautiful
OK... GREAT WORK AND BIG LIKE FOR THE UPLOADER
i hear a lot of stuff i can get behind and not just because it was a compliment
it was really true
the EU Showtime Lakers was spot on
it was a joy to watch each and every game
it was a fast paced team
all that stuff was on point
even the breakdown of plays was bringing out great memories
so thnk you for that
but i want to correct a couple of things
first the coaching
Pini Gershon was like motzart
the guy was so inventive it's redicilos
and he had one asistant coach maybe you heared about David Blatt
some might say he was the guy who was making the team run in training
when was the idea man was Pini and the one running the show with great subs everygame
we as fans trusted him completly even when we saw Obradovich on the other line
we were their... he was a GREAT COACH and so funny.
one other thing is the Maceo Baston -Draymond Green
no disrespect but Baston was way better and important to the team
Baston was a PF who can run the floor, jump sky high was a great shot blocker and rebounder
and was so cool to watch
the guy could dunk from the foul line
our "Draymond" was Sharp
and he was the glue guy
jump on every 50:50 ball and an energy guy
3 point specialist who can heat like a microwave
now let's talk about Burshtain
the guy was a 2.00M point guard
with all his talent
think about that when your facing guys like Sharas Parker Baston and Vuicic
so... if you want to talk about a mach-up nightmare
their is a picture fot you
and the bench
you did a great job their
but you left the Streach Four David Blue who can shot the lights out too
but the thing about this team
beside the AMAZING evefything probobly
GREAT CHOACHING BASKETBALL IQ FAST PACE PASSING 3 POINTERS DUNKS FANS
everything in just spot on and fell PERFECTLY within the team
we were their
the atmospere was like their's MAGIC in the air
the greatest was
thier waas absoulotly NO EGO
everyone knew their place
just a SMART Basketball team
It was just fun all around... and amazing to watch
no "BIG THREE" bullshit
that was a TEAM who liked each other and was aiming for everything
no one cared how much he scored or stuff like that
it was just
"LETS DANCE" feeling with this team
but all and all
great work uploader
tnks so much
I respect that but I will go with Panathinaikos 2008-2010. Obradovic, Itoudis at the coaching staff and: Diamantidis, Spanoulis, Jasikevicius, Nicholas, Calathes, Pekovic, Batiste, Fotsis and Alvertis. Damn! I mean, this is a dream team. I doubt any other EL team had this diversity, talent and heavy names in their roster, at the same time.
name-wise you are correct (though I preferred PAO with Bodiroga, he was such a class player), but the dominance and just beauty of their game, puts maccabi above. The only other team that comes to mind in that sense for me is Split during Kukoc era.
@@avizik i agree yugoplastica, maccabi, olympiakos with rivers that beat pao 35 points diff. when they were european champs, panathinaikos was decent too
@@h.u.t.9677 The olympiakos won with 35 points but Panathinaikos who had won the first european championship the same year played that game without dominic Wilkins...
@@herlam1980 you are right, although the strength of Panathinaikos at that point was coach Maljkovic , Wilkins was very good but it was a team effort. Although my team is Olympiakos and we ve had some great teams, i believe the best team that appeared in Europe was Paanthinaikos with Spanoulis, Diamantidis, Batiste, Bodiroga etc... Next you can put Maccabi with Parker, Vuicic, Jaiskevicius and if you go back in timt Tracer Milan with Bob Mc Adoo, Meneghin and of course the greatest team ever Yugoplastica . Regards
And these are European stars. No team has such a long list of European stars these days. Such a pity.
Making a video about this team and not talking about David Blatt who was the assitant coach, but behind the doors, he was directing the team... In the training the day before the final game against Bolonia, Pini did not even show up in the arena...
Parker.. wow!! what a legend!
for me 2004 Maccabi it was the best Euroleague team till 2008 when Obradovic-Itoudis do the gratest move and they call to Saras manager, the answer was "are you crazy, with Diamantidis and Spanoulis in team you want Saras too" that team was so great that one of them has to stay in bench the same with Batist and Pecovic !!!! (still on top 10 of the strongest center on NBA history)
I'm just wondering if there was a chance to meet 2004 Maccabi and 2020 Anadolu Efes in a game.... İt would be fantastic to watch!¡
Anadolu 2020?don't compliment your country team so obviously, and short memory isn't good. I am an oly fan, but 2004 maccabi, 2009 pao were great teams. To compliment my team I would also mention the 2013 oly who played total basketball and won real Madrid 100-88 in the final
Dejan Bodiroga and Anthony Parker are the 2 best players in the history of the Euroleague!
Ginobili is the greatest player of Euroleague
@@Pieraz99 bodiroga is the master of champions...
@@Pieraz99 Ginobili was not in his prime when he played at Kinder.
@@Pieraz99 Sasha Danilović was at least equally good, and in my opinion, a better player than Manu Ginobili. And Sasha Danilović is not the greatest Euroleague player. Toni Kukoč (3x F4 MVP), Dejan Bodiroga, Arvydas Sabonis, Dimitris Diamantidis, Spanoulis
@@markomarkovic5729 how many NBA title and Olympic gold medal won danilović?
ZERO ginobili >> danilović
Probably they have been the best EL team ever. Barça-2010 and PAO-2009 are also on top for me.
Finally someone mentioned barca. They were sick at the times Fuck it I even think they could've took one or two NBA playoff teams in a series. They were THIS good
@@seansilver8757 Sure! A young pushing player like Ricky Rubio, Navarro probably in his peak, the winning mentality of Pete Michael, Basile, Lorbek, Vazquez and N’Dong protecting the rim, etc. They played an amazing basketball that season and played a perfect F4, sweeping off the court a really high budget Olympiakos in the finals. The most enjoying Barça I’ve seen with my own eyes.
@@seansilver8757 they lost 3-0 in the acb finals they aint winning no one in the nba playoffs
@@raulbanosg And 2002/03 Barca with Bodiroga, Jasikevičius, young Navarro, Anderson Varejao, Fučka was just as good - maybe even better than 2009/10 Barca. Damn, I miss the old Euroleague, when every game was spectacle and teams were stacked with great players...
@@markomarkovic5729pana in 09 had three el legends at their backcourt and two nba caliber centers. Two great pf top 5 in their positions and the goat coach
2012 Cska and 2014 Real Madrid were also SCARY teams. Unbelievable rosters that looked unstoppable until the final game. But Olympiacos bc and maccabi managed to do the miracle in the finals.
didn’t Maccabi won the eruo league in 2014?
@@dulik2011 yeah that's what he is saying

I was living near the stadium Elijahu when they won back to back euro leagues. On match day it was mayhem
Yalla Maccabi💛💙🔥
amazing video, but this is the sad truth: Diamantidis, Spanoulis, Jasikevicius, Nikolas. 4 super guards, 3 of them Euroleague hall of Famers. Mike Batiste and Nikola Pekovic the two big men in 5 and coach Obradovic. Panathinaikos 2008-2010.
Ok, but nikola, baston, jasikevicius and parker are all of them euroleague hall of famers too... David blu and sharp are the best 3 point shooters in maccabi history, and they have some wonderful players like green and bourshtein. that maccabi was absolutely the best team in euroleague history.

@@julianwrighthornet32 Drew Nicholas
@@דקלנאור 1989-1991 Jugoplastika was the best team in the history of European club basketball.

And don't forget 2007-2009 PAO, 2009/10 Barca, 2002/03 Barca, 1997/98 Kinder, 1991/92 Partizan with the best backcourt of the decade (Djordjević - Danilović), and mid-80s Cibona with Dražen Petrović - they brought basketball revolution with 3pt shooting.
Maccabi of those 3 years was like the fc Barcelona team with messi iniesta and xavi
Legendery team
In this video you articulated PERFECTLY everything I always say about that Maccabi for people who didn’t get to witness that remarkable team for themselves!
Only one remark though - Pini Gershon was not the perfect coach just because he let them play freely - he was an excellent coach with a great on-time game managing skills and senses - all the play moves and strategies you mentioned had to be done and led by him, including many crazy ideas like the play who got us to the final four with that long pass and shoot. He knew exactly when to take timeouts and what players would win him the match - not for nothing he won 3 euroleague championships including his first with a different squad in 2000-2001 season against PAO.
Pini, is most definitely one of the best coaches ever and deserves a lot of credit for his work.
100% , he is prefect at reading the game. maybe the best.
taking the "1pt more" seariously shows they really doesnt know him , he was alweys a goof with press.
@@ofirhajaj
Definitely. He always crashed teams - the saying was: "if we lead by 10 we go for 20, if 20 then 30 and so on" - that was Maccabi and Pini's attitude towards the game.

2 Spanoulis - Nicholas
3 Perperoglou - Hatzivretas

As a 9 yrs kid I rem the Final Four Finals it lights me forever to love that's scheme of team basketball
They played perfect Basketball.
Maccabi Fans simply cannot appreciate just how lucky we were in 2004 and 2005.
I do not think that any European team could repeat the pure beauty of Maccabi's game in those 2 years.
They had 3 bonafide superstars on that team in AP, Saras, and Niko.
The rest of the players perfectly complemented them.
For something like this to happen again, I dont know. Plus the game is currently disgusting with 40-50% of the shots being 3's.

2004 Maccabi has been the best European team Sports and the greatest team of all major sports of all time ever. 🏀👍
Jugoplastika from Yugoslavia was more dominant team ever in Europe. I am a Serb, but they were such a great team
not the first year where they beat Maccabi, which was a great surprise, but the year after was A M A Z I N G, they played with such joy and like the game is supposed to be played where everyone contribute. I grew up on Maccabi in the 80s-90s era, where the Yugoslavian players were the best Europe had to offer. to this day I look at the NBA and think to myself they don't know what's the meaning of team. if Europeans were more athletic, no NBA team would've stand a chance. Yugoslavia's 90-92 national team was probably the most talented and fun to watch team outside the dream-team
Thats maccabi was 100% the best team in euroleague history 💛💙
I live in Isreal and and form the 70's to the mid 90's Macabi won every single championship that's 23 in a row!
The best European BB team? How about tripple champions from Split Croatia-Jugoplastika/POP84. Tripple 👑 from 89 to 91? Toni Kukoc, Dino Radja etc. That was Europe's most talented team ever

best euro team almost lost twice in the 2009 f4...doesnt sound like a dream team
@@ofirhajaj Partly was due to the referees that allowed CSKA's physical game, but in a final you never know...

Roster wise and performance wise Olympiacos wasn't better than CSKA but won the title.
In their repeat days before the final4 their small forwards got injured and they used their 3rd option ,nestoras kommatos.in his previous year kommatos was a cup winner in greece with aris plus he ended up the season as top scorer.In that final4 coming from the bench he was super and assisted maccabi in their great achievement.I still remember saras yelling "malakas malakas" once they left the pitch in front of cameras on their way to the dressing room.

Dude. 2 teams are the best ever. Barca 2010 and pao 2009. I might consider taking real in 2014, but olympiakos was close to eliminate them. If the system of more games was the same as the current one, Panathinaikos could have made a 5 peat. Not many games back then.
The best team must be Jugoplastika. It pains me to say that as Partizan fan but it is true.
Why should it pain you, both clubs even if they were rivals, had a decent amount of respect for eachother.

All the others
It's between maccabi 2003-05 Panathinahikos 2009 and Barcelona 2010 - the most efficient European team I ever seen they lost only 2 matches during the season if I'm not mistaken and processed to beat the lakers as the NBA Champs in an off season friendly match but If you saw Kobe at the time there was nothing friendly about it 🤔

@@giannisglo6145 They were a good team but they were not as dominant as Maccabi in those years
There is no team that could be named better than 2009 Euroleague Champion Panathinaikos. Guards: Diamantidis, Jasikevicius, Spanoulis, Nicholas, Chatzivretas. Forwards: Fotsis, Tsartsaris, Perperoglou, Alvertis, Sakota, Kecman, Shermadini, Centers: Batiste, Pekovic. No other comments.
Olympiacos BC 2012-2013 is also one of the greatest teams ever because they achieved everything with one of the lowest budgets in the competition. That’s the big difference between olympiacos and other powerhouses who won the euroleague.
They won a title against one of the most powerful rosters ever in Europe (CSKA 2012) and did back2back next year with amazing basketball, dominating everyone in the final4 (cska again and Real Madrid).
Also even after losing some important core players they still managed to go to two more finals (2015-2017) still with one of the lowest budgets in the competition!
Lol
@@mour13 lol for what? If it is for the last place at the euroleague standings, I agree.

The fact that you want to receive complements for winning with the worst possible roster is amazing. We don’t talk about biggest surprises here, but best teams. The cska team you beat that year was the best team in Europe by miles. You managed to steal the game. The next year you had a really really good team but not one of the best all time. The one you had in 2009 was better for example.
@@NK-dj7no The fact that you don’t know the difference between best team and best roster is amazing. I was talking about best TEAMS, not best roster. Many clubs throughout the history of the competition had great and expensive rosters but not the right chemistry to succeed and become the best teams. Olympiacos 2013 team proved that the success of 2012 wasn’t a surprise.
You forgot to mention Derrick Sharp! one of the greatest
Kinder Bologna '01 is the best FIBA team ever by far
totally agree
I thing you underestimate olympiakos and panathinaikos!Panathinaikos won 6 titles in 11 years (1996-2011) and in 2012 he should have been in the finals with olympiakos...As for olympiakos,he won the title in 2012 against 1 of the best teams cska had and the best in that year (For the record cska had only 1 loss in game that didnt matter to her)!Oly had inexperienced and young players,but they had persistence and passion that were unmatchable!2013 was the same,as for 2015 and 2017 he should have also been the champion,but the refs had played unfairly against olympiakos!
Ok.. maccabi win 3 in 4 years..
@@דקלנאור Did you watch me telling something bad about maccabi??Or did you get annoyed about my opinion?Either case,Olympiakos won the trophy against a cska with 10+ times the budget of oly and a cska who almost went undefeated in f4 and was the fiercest opponent and yet olympiakos stood up and won!Even panathinaikos could have won in semi finals,but the refs got the better of him!And many other achievements of the hellenic teams!!I just told that he kind of underestimated the hellenic teams!
Yugoplastika is the best euro team ever. It's even voted some years ago by the fans on fiba site i think, so it's official. Question was "which is greatest basketball euro team of 20 century" and Yugoplastika won. I think answer is same if you ask "ever" cause Yugoslav basketball of that time was out of this world, they even manage to beat Nba teams. It was harder to win Yugoslav national league then Euroleague, that's how good clubs were and Yugoplastika was best.
Agree, the best EU team ever.
"We will rock you"...
Come on mate... There is no comparison with Obradovic's Panathinaikos in 2009 season!! That was a trully dream team!
Let's see if I remember all the players ;
Dimitris Diamantidis , Kostas Tsartsaris , Antonis Fotsis , Fragiskos Alvertis , Nikos Chatzivrettas , Dusan Sakota , Vasilis Spanoulis , Stratos Perperoglou , Mike Batiste , Drew Nicholas , Sarunas Jasikevicius , Giorgi Sermandini , Dusan Kecman and Nikola Pekovic .
That man is truly A STACKED ROSTER .
Yes
as a panathinaikos Fan Born and raised i have to disagree. obradovic with diamantidis was just different
Barcelona 2010 and Pao 2009>>>
😂😂😂
Maccabi of 2004,2005 and even 2006 was defeating Pao all the time in double digit gap in Oaka and in Yad eliyhau and guss who played on Pao of those time, I will tell you Batists diamanitis and more but Maccabi made them look like a highschool players
@@gil7002 im saying pao 2009 not 2004-06; Having diamantidis, batist both best or one of the best at their positions at the time, spanulis, saras and greatest coach of all time? that whole era is special.Not only that but they had a lot of home-grown players which maccabi cant say.Pao destroyed everyone and didn't go with the logic "i will score 1 more point than them"
@@vulee100 the 1 point nore is just a joke for the press that got taken out of context.
in reality , pao2009 bearly won the F4 , won olympiacis by 2pts, and won cska by 2pts.
some will say pao wasent the best team even in 2009.
while maccabi 04 and 05 crushed teams in the final four including 44 point win in a FINAL.
if you judge a team by nameing players, the best team is TAU 2005 - calderon,macjiauskas,nocioni,scola,splitter .basiclly a full NBA team - and Maccabi crushed them also in the 2005 F4.
@@ofirhajaj thats true i just feel maccabi played a little too much on talent. I haven't watched them live but eventho i like their team i think they could've done more
Yes they were the best and then Olympiakos 2011-2013 also with back to back titles.
FC Barcelona in 2010. Lost only 2 games in EL that season. Crushed the F4.
Agree 💯%
ok now show us panathinaikos 2009
panathinaikos 2009?
I from israel and i agree
I agree if it is mentioned as a question. WHY?
Olympiacos 2011-2012,2012-2013 back to back champions
You are drunk. The 2008-2009 Panathinaikos is the most complete roster ever assembled in euroleague paired with the goat Obradovic. Diamantidis, Spanoulis, Jasikevicius, Alvertis, Fotsis, Batiste, Pekovic, Chatzivrettas, Drew Nicholas, Tsartsaris. Ridiculous talent and depth
