Incredible video. Panathinaikos is the team that, in the last 30 years, has won the most championships in the EuroLeague (7), placing 3rd as the team with the most championships in Europe, behind CSKA Moscow, which has 8, and Real Madrid at the top with 11. CSKA and Real won many of their championships in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Panathinaikos won theirs in 1996, 2000, 2002, 2007, 2009, 2011, and 2024, earning the nickname "The Emperor." One correction though: Sloukas won 2 championships with Olympiacos, 1 with Fenerbahce, and now his 4th with Panathinaikos. The fanbase of the team is surely one of the biggest in Europe!

[@athleticproskanion]

Good friend. Panathinaikos cannnot be an Emperor, because in our history never we had such a title in authority. Kings, yes, they were descending from the gods. The first king in Athens was Kekrops, the indigenous. But, the real authority is goddess ATHENA, because Athens belongs to her. The PAO fans are called Promachos, the man that fights on the wall in his city. Thank you for your philhellenic feelings.

[@Soped]

@athleticproskanion My friend the byzantine empire had emperors, most of them were of greek decent like the last emperor Constantine XI Palaiologos who was crowned emperor in Mystras, Sparta. From Sparta is also Giannakopoulos Paulos, who was Dimitris(father) the owner of PAO. The eastern Roman empire later became the byzantine empire, due to its Greek culture, Greek language, Greek emperors and Greek religion. They were also considered greeks by their enemies. The history doesn't matter though, because it's just a nickname given by the greek media and the fans. Don't take it seriously. It's just sports and marketing.

[@rbb.828]

Why doesn’t Giannis play there then?

It's interesting how Real with 4:09 minutes remaining was just 3 points behind Panathinaikos at that point but after that they went on to miss pretty much everything while Panathinaikos seemed unstoppable.

This Madrid team was just not ready mentally for the moment things would start to get bad.

This was the only game where they actually had to come back from something.

To be honest, real played only in the first period better than panathinaikos. After the 2nd period, panathinaikos was closing the 10 points gap between the 2 teams with all its might. While pao was perfoming better, real didnt how to adapt or handle the situation they were brought to by pao.

the 90s was watered down just let you know that is just nostalgia bias on your part 90s ball was not good very boring and low quality compared to now

[@innosanto]

Best NBA was 80s

[@jimboskii2555]

It’s not that Americans don’t care about the rest of the basketball world only American media makes it difficult if not impossible to watch any basketball that the NBA is not benefiting from

[@Tsino69]

Real Madrid in the finals reminds me of the Harden era Rockets. Live by the three and die by the three.

[@DimitarVankov-e9k]

Honestly this looks more intense than NBA and the highlighted plays are beautiful.

[@9chilidog]

The beginning with the fan base was awesome.

[@17938]

This video is amazing! Good job man!

[@DKM_Sports]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@spyretto]

If you consider that the NBA takes all the raw talent the level of Euroleague basketball is indeed very high. You also have to fight for every basket because they DO play defense in Europe.

[@mpc91]

They DO play defense in Europe? Which is why players who can't make NBA rosters go to Europe and immediately become better scorers. It's why the Kings gave up on Sasha Vezenkov... because he couldn't play defense.

[@athleticproskanion]

A SACRED MARRIAGE. The European fan passion electrifies the players on the court. Such atmospheres any NBAyer cannot experience unless he has played in Europe and particular in Athens, and Belgrade. The European style of basketballing looks barbaric to the aristocratic NBA's. But the volcanic element in it casts it as an exclusive level of its own. Here we have a sacred marriage, the abduction of the bride. Paris carries away Helen of Sparta. Panathina:ϊkos the King and Real the Queen.

[@ottomatic2634]

For non-euro guys out here,let's put a little context. I'm sure you know about the fans and ambiance in the stadiums, but you must know Greeks and Turkish hate themselves, generally, they had a war. So when you see Panathinaikos-Fenerbahce, you know it's gonna be even crazier! The finals Real Madrid-Pana is kinda like our Lakers-Celtics

[@brianblockchain6039]

Dominique Wilkins is not the last American to win a Euro league Championship. Nik Canner Medley won a Euro league Championship with Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv in 2012 or 2013 I believe.

[@dmarkwelberg]

bro Mike Batiste won it multiple times with Pana also

[@astarti23xx]

He was talking specifically about Panathinaikos, but he was still wrong cause Panathinaikos has had maaaaany american players since Dominique (1996)

[@johndiamanths6375]

I think his comment is referring just for the biggest American superstar that played in Europe

[@TONYPORJ]

WOW, i didnt know this is how passionate them europeans in Basketball. I love what im watching. Interesting. Im looking forward wtching more of Euroleage games!

You are absolutely right, Pao fans ARE the best in the world.

[@gabepizza]

Best basketball if you want to watch Kendrick Nunn and Jerian (?!) Grant as starters on a championship team. Grant was a great player on the Capital City Go-Go as well!

[@GenoGenovTihoonen]

Ya'll notice how nobody is travelling? :D

What a great video summary of the whole thing!

[@usmc29er44]

Great vid!

[@taigakagami8354]

I wonder how guys like Kyrie, KD , Jimmy Butler and Tatum would fair in the Euro league. Like i know they’d cook but would they actually win there.

[@Bastfps]

depends on the team they join but there really isnt any team in the el that cant contest for a title if they are given a superstar so most likely they will win a title within their first couple years

[@stronkveak5917]

Depends on their team and also their coach, no one wins here on their own

[@taigakagami8354]

@@Bastfps say if KD or Kyrie join the EuroLeague, what teams are the best fit for a player of their caliber?

[@Bastfps]

@@taigakagami8354 i would personally love kd to play for partizan they have the best european coach in history nd one of the best fans in europe nd i feel like the club it fits kd perfectly

[@nationarmy2514]

they would fair in the euroleague but i believe they will need few years t adjust. euroleague is another "game". Every single game counts.. either on euroleague of each country league. I think NBA players would do well but i also think they'd need some time and some changes on the way they "see" basket

[@eliaslouloudis4744]

Great video !

[@expositooculto1040]

NBA has great athletes and some amazing individual talent, but the game is far superior in Euroleaugue. It is richer, with more variations, more strategy, and not just a continuous trhee pointy shoot out. Big men are stll relevant. The bad aspect is thet Euroleague is importing, little by little, allowing players to constantly palm and carry the ball, travel in many step backs and not respect the pivot foot in certain moves. That, I find disgusting.

[@Jojidess]

Sloukas has actually won 2 euroleagues with olympiakos 1 with fener and 1 with panathinaikos no 3 with olympiakos

[@teutates747474]

Those are clubs and not franchises! We don’t do that bs.

[@-o-8862]

duhhh this is what happens when you franchise something, it stays at a certain standard. europe on the other hand has a DO or DIE mentality due to regulations. teams will launch own ideas towards how the club should be ran, who to scout and invest in, after years you can see the growth.

[@Da_Realist_Inu]

even in regular season Euroleague teams tear each other apart, every game matters.

[@po1odo1o]

wow, loved this video. Sloukas going 100% in the final...wtf! I don't know if it's the clutchest thing I've ever seen but damn, it's right up there.

[@joshuataboada5087]

lessort is why i think montrezl harell should go overseas

[@Mauesi]

The most successful club in the EuroLeague is Panathinaikos and not Real Madrid. Yes, Real has more european title. But they won only 3 EuroLeague titles. Whereas Panathinaikos won 5 in the EuroLeague. So most successful european club is Real Madrid Most successful EuroLeague club is Panathinaikos

[@innosanto]

Real has the most titles, then is CSKA and then Panathinaikos.

[@Mauesi]

@innosanto not the most EuroLeague titles. The most European, yes. Please read again my comment carefully

[@rebornitsybitsy7515]

Real Madrid, one of the best teams in basketball with probably the worst fans. Again going to a final four with only 50 fans. It happens all the time.

[@Emile97427]

No : Monaco has 12.

[@user-dh4rq7bo3b]

European sports fans and Canucks and leaf fans are SO crazy.

[@andreasbaroutsos4983]

This should be a lesson to the NBA officials. In Europe we watch real basketball, with real tactics and real defense. In Europe we do not look at terrifying body transformations of players in 1-2 years, felling that we look at Superman vs Batman. NBA became boring.

[@drewhoffman1461]

NBA champs vs Euro league champs would be a great way to end each season. It needs to happen!

[@mf_robespierre]

great recap
