American Reacts to Basketball Fans and Atmosphere USA vs Europe

[@gemmas3659]

For European players, playing in the NBA is like playing in a library.

[@TnPzz]

Hahahahja big YES

[@zombies8324]

LOL

[@georgekoul]

Playing in Europe, specific countries are Greece, Serbia and Turkey, is like playing in a war zone in Iraq.

[@tristanalbert3856]

Begining to think that most of viewers of those "react to european fans" are actually europeans in a little sin of pride, mixed with a thin of guilted superiority feeling 🤭 Once I discover this concept, got to admit i'm sometimes one of these when i'm watching the fifth type of video in a row 😅

[@strangetimes33]

Yeah, it has become my favourite pastime

[@karlirl8331]

I've been to Euroleague Final Four a few times and happened to sit in Olympiakos (Greece) and Fenerbahce (Turkey) sector. The vibe of those fans is incomprehensible through the video. Whenever their team was playing I literally couldn't help but ask for the lyrics they were singing and join them. They do not chant, they SING throughout THE WHOLE GAME. Much love to european fans, you guys are absolute menaces on the arena.

[@spyro257]

basketball and football in USA, is like playing in a library, but in Europe it's like playing in the middle of a war...

[@scottmeehan2422]

Unless u playing a emerites haha

[@drigerdranzer7514]

10:44 It's the lineup for Euro League in basketball, Red Star Belgrade against CSKA Moscow and the Euro League anthem is actually played but the crowd drown it out completely.

[@TheRedPeril]

Greek girl here. First game, Aris Thessaloniki. Third game, Panathinaikos Athens. You don't wanna know what these fans say. The second game must be in Serbia. Balkans rule.

[@jameswg13]

Second game is a euro league game red star Belgrade vs CsKa Moscow. I'm no basketball fan but been enough football games. Was working in Greece and in Piraeus on an olympiakos match day just before Greek/ orthodox Easter. Thank god I wasn't wearing my hometown clubs shirt on my day off

[@vladastojkovic1071]

Agreed😂

[@arjanpetersen]

mwoah Germany/france/netherlands all have insane crowds as well. Especially Germany. In Netherlands we have an insane amount of hooligans. You don't usually see them at matches but usually outside tearing up the place.

[@OhNoNotFrank]

I think most Europeans would find it strange and awkward to sing their National Anthem at a national championship.

USA - everything revolves around money, Europe - PASSION AND LOVE for our club that we support always and everywhere, whether we win or lose. That's the main difference. in the USA it seems to be important just to appear in the stand, while in EUROPE coming to the stadium means giving your all, your voice and energy to support your club

[@addictedonhiphop]

Greek over here: Just to explain a few things: First And 2nd European games in the video are Aris vs Paok. Local Greek Derby in Thessaloniki the 2nd biggest city in Greece. Similar Atmosphere it is On football at these games. 3rd game video is Red Star Beligrade vs Cska Moscow for Euroleague. (Cska got out from Euroleague due to War with Ukraine). Red star Beligrade is a well known Serbian Team for their hardcore fans first of all. Partizan the arch enemy of Red star has also really good atmosphere. Last but not least The last team on the video is Panathinaikos and that was at his Latest Euroleague win at 2011 Final vs Barcelona that the final was hosted at 2011 at his home stadium. Honorable Mentions of Good atmosphere teams (No Order): Zalgiris Kaunas from Lithuania Turkish Teams have really good Atmosphere like Galatasaray and Fenerbache (No order to these 2). Efes are slightly quieter. Virtus Bologna From Italy Olympiacos Bc arch enemy of Panathinaikos Partizan from Serbia . There is also an interesting new thing from Euroleague that they count Db on the arena during the game so you can see pretty loud fanbases that I forget to mention. (Euroleague is the biggest European Club Basketball tournament) I mentioned although teams who aren't on Euroleague because they have strong atmosphere in Football for example Galatasaray and Aris BC .

[@vladastojkovic1071]

No Anthem Just Red Star Fans Chanting 😂

[@Vld96]

THANK YOU, the last 3 minutes is what i want, every other video that i saw they just dont stop to talk about what they seen.

[@arjanpetersen]

well european way of experiencing a sport match is just on a completely different level as in America. Europe is on top of the EiffelTower and american somewhere on the bottom of the ocean. Difference is HUGE

[@vjekoslavprpic496]

There is a euroleague anthem and players are obligated to stand up,but,Red Star fans from Serbia refuses the song and while anthem is goin on,they try to silence it with their own song and they are doin pretty good job 10:30

[@thijshagenbeek6554]

In Europe we added sports to our battles. Added a few rules in to help deceide a victor. Then we deceided passion and decibels where the weapons of choise. And we went to war.

[@GryLi]

There are a few videos about american basketball players who are telling their stories how it was to play in Europe. Some stories are pretty funny but will you give more of an idea what sports in general means to us in Europe. Although Football is the number 1 sport but Basketball in certain areas is high up there.

[@ikaros5515]

The ''greens'' were Panathinaikos they are the greatest basketball club in Europe with many legends one of them was Dominique Wilkins also have the greatest fans and the most scary ( for the others obv).

[@CapoDeiCapi01]

Most scary fans with 90% of the season games with empty OAKA just against the 3 biggest teams.....

[@VodeniZeka]

that's not an anthem, that's a war cry. and that war cry doesn't stop trough the whole game. in Europe that is called a home court advantage

[@riccardocoletta2398]

Minute 10:43 - We don't chant anthem during local matches, it's the team chant. We use anthem only when the national team fight another national team (like Italy vs France), not when a town team fight another town team (Like Rome vs Paris) US is the only democratic country in the world that chant the anthem every time, even during child matches. Only US and some dictatorship countries.

0:55 It doesn't matter if it is a play off game or not what do you think what goes on at football games in Europe that are mid season and are totally meaningless games? No matter how insignificant games are or how important they are, the atmosphere in football stadiums in Europe is always at the same level,

[@tadaska6917]

In usa basketball is biznis in europe its passion

[@svenpedersen9140]

Yea, in America they do kiss cams and 6 people in suits doing a dance. Of course the anthem and cheerleaders etc (and I totally respect that). In Europe, I would not be confortable to bring my son in the stadium. As crazy as "soccer" fans but in a closed arena. Just the fires hehe :). But the chants can seem agressive or racist etc... when you look at the lirics, it is actually funny most of the time or just showing their dedication to the club

[@grusbekse]

I love how the reaction of seeing flares for the first time is always what is that, is the stadium on fire.

[@leontinemccain5170]

The third game (the team in white and red) are red star Belgrade from Serbia playing CSKA Moscow in the Euro league. There's supposed to be the Euro league anthem playing but the fans are chanting over it so loud that they've completely drawn out the music playing in the arena.

[@albertomagnani3984]

I'm an Italian that now live in US. I'm been a fan (ultras) for long time when I was backl in my hometown in Europe. I experienced now the American fans. American fans has the mentality to go to seat down quiet, relax, enjoy the match with a soda in one hand and the hotdog in the other one, seated next to a rival fan... In Europe is religion, is a way of life, is Honor. We do not go to watch the game (also because sometimes is impossible with all the smoke from the Bengala (smoke bombs) fireworks and general fires hahaha), we go to play the game. We go to war. We go to defend our city from the invaders. We are the 6th player in the basket or the 12th player in the football. American fans get (you guys say lit for for us you are likely cold), when the music in the speakers is great, instead we are the music. Every single team has several songs composed by the fan group which then we sing before, during and after the match. I think that the huge difference come from the History. You guys are young's, really young's. Over there we have thousands of years of History and wars. Europe had tons of wars in the centuries. For us ours team ours colors are inside our blood. Comparing USA fans vs European fans, our best part is that, this passion make us so loud, aggressive and intimidating. Your best part is that you can go to the Stadium/Arena and enjoy the match also with kids and families. In Europe going to the Stadium could means ends up to the Emergency room or even in the morgue in some cases when plays an important match like the 2 rival teams or the 2 team that play for the same city. In some cases we do not take kids to watch a match. We are too much. Die for a sport match is not really smart right...

[@ItzJustJP]

Oh wow!

[@GiannisMD]

10:52 it is an anthem made by the fans to show their love to the team

[@philipprollmann4442]

In Europe the Fans are family part of the Club, we dont have franchises we have Teams which are based to the City. So genereations of Fans go to the Stadiums. They write Songs, the Ultra´s make Choreographies for every Game. In Europe sports wont work like the Franchise type in the NFL no one will watch them when they change the city.

[@bymero1980]

Each club have their own chant, not only pop song... They have their identity, something you cannot hear anywhere else

In the NBA the standard of Basketball is higher (despite that arguably at least three of the top 5 current NBA players being European), however the European fans (especially in Serbia, Greece & Turkey), win hands down. To be clear the fans are at full volume sometimes hours before the start of the game, & some will burn more calories than the players.

[@RazvanCostea1977]

Most of european clips were regular season in national league The last 2 games were Euroleague regular season. On the 3rd clip there are Red Star Belgrade fans singing We Are Red Star so loud in order to cover the Europe anthem which was played on stadium speakers (you can here it in background if you listen carefully). They did that because they hate Euroleague Management. In the first two clips are Aris Thessaloniki fans which always are like that 2 hours before the game, during the entire game and maybe 3 hours after if Aris wins.

No football fan or basketball fan in Europe would accept something like what is called fan culture in the USA. Europe is passion USA is business the more the better. The problem, however, is that their type of business covers everything like mildew. You are driving on a road that is very, very narrow and anything that is different is considered a threat. Always the same singing. The fans dressed in red, white, yellow, etc. give you the feeling that you are at a Communist Party conference in North Korea. Nothing is left to chance, that has eaten into their society like a straitjacket. This would be/is unacceptable for Europe.
