This is probably one of the reasons why none of the European coaches made it in the NBA. In Europe, especially in Serbia and Greece your coach is like your father, you respect and listen to him in the NBA the power dynamics is a bit different

[@wroomwroomboy123]

Forreal. It's the dynamic in every sport. The coach is the general.

[@cryptidian3530]

NBA is a star player driven league, they are the money makers for the team. That's the difference.

[@ileana8360]

You have to love the translation. If they only would know which curse words have really been used.

[@pennybleta9721]

Coach Itoudis is in our Greek National basketball team. He is the best coach for Giannis and his brothers. I am so proud of the team he built regardless of the outcome with Germany in EuroBasket. He needs to be in the Bucks.

[@Čangrizavi_Cinik]

Players arent the stars, they are just the tools, The coach is the star. The boss, The General !!

you can add,the dictator

[@someguyfromarcticfreezer6854]

@@cinematographos In game a coach or manager is the boss, and we had a phrase for that: "No player is bigger than the club" and the manager or coach is the club.

Mostly Serbian and Greek coaches. Passionate by nature and passionate for the game.

[@purpleir]

Well the Greek translation was let's say ... kind? 🤣🤣🤣 The coach Ioannidis was infamous for his temper! When he was showing the ref his "coat" he was saying to the ref that he(the ref) had sold the game, that he had arranged the game, therefore he was not fair. He called him "coat". 🤣 I promise you it makes perfect sense in Greek.

Thanks for the explanation 🤣💕

It is all about the mentality and frankly it makes you a better person to be able to withstand this kind of thing. I remember two years ago the local basketball team in my village asked some of us old timers to play a couple of games with their teenagers team so the kids would lose their fear of playing older, stronger, taller people, while at the same time keeping things competitive since we were mostly 35+ years old and totally out of shape, ok? God knows how, but we kept on winning those games and the coach (in a nobody team, in a middle of nowhere village, right?) was FURIOUS. Shouting, swearing and losing his mind at the kids. We had to tell him to tone it down at some moment ahahaha but he was going OFF, in a friendly game against people that didn't even have a coach or a team. We were just random dudes that liked basketball and lived in the village. However, don't you think that this kind of thing gives lessons to the kids? I, for one, prefer that kind of wild intensity and competitive fire, compared to the lame "participation trophy" and "give praise to everyone" modern ideas.

DUDE - GREG POPOIVICH IS ALSO A BALKAN BOY BY THE SOUL!

[@hjonkamgoose899]

3:30 so in greek we cuss with "heavier" curse words than english i'm realizing, because we actually say "(i) f*ck your/my Christ" or even "(i) fuck your/my Holy Mary" (and your house, your mother, your family line and so on) it's the greek equivalent to "for Christ's sake" but includes the profanity in it. so in english they needed it to be a "heavier" curse and switched it to "for fuck's sake" in a kind of anti-censoring way, opposite thing happened in greek, at 1:13 you hear Giannis Ioannidis saying the greek version of "for fuck's sake" i'm not going to give you a literal translation because it does not make sense in english but he's basically just swapping out "Christ" in the same phrase (the (i) is because verbs carry the subject with them in the ending of the word (like "i read" vs "she reads" except the verb changes every time)) also damn this man is in half of these clips and i'm watching this and i feel like i'm getting scolded through the screen 6:34 so, what i'm guessing he's trying to say is like "i'm begging you to play defence" or basically saying "(i'm asking you to) please play defence" instead of "may i please you" i'm saying that cause i'm a native greek speaker and if you translated the phrase word for word that would be the literal translation in greek, so i think he's just like literally translating what he wants to say and using an idiom from his native language word for word in english

[@nekane6168]

In Spain we use a lot "I sh1t on god" "I sh1t on your wh*re mother" "I sh1t on the wh*re Virgin" ... In cursing, translations are never easy. Some expressions may sound terrible in another country, and lame in others. The social context is everything.

[@nekane6168]

Thanks for the greek context 💕

[@Drescher1984]

The female European leagues can run laps around WNBA players and win like 8 out 10 times. And like with European Handball they focus on going hard and play well and for me are more fun then the guy's at times, in European Handball that is.

[@dekipet]

All Serbs, one Greek, one Lithuanian, plus Repesa and Ataman. This video could be called American REACTS to Serbian Basketball Coaches Are Crazy...

[@albertomagnani3984]

No. Coaches do not get fired just for protesting. They could be punished with a ticket or something like that but not fired. They get fired if the teams will perform badly for the season or more than one season, but not for protesting. We have a completely different mentality.

[@Tresonfan]

"may i please you" - best part xD

[@Čangrizavi_Cinik]

he wanted to ask: can i politely ask you but his english is bad when he gets excited. He tried with trashing and screaming about their defense but they never listened, so at the end he tried to ask them politely would they "please" start to play defense.

[@milanmatejic2954]

Dusko Ivanovic ex Baskonia coach run 5 hours training in Red Star now. And yes he still curses and insults everyone on the team. business as usual.

[@ItzJustJP]

Oh wow!!

[@huginmunin8253]

Im not sure it was in these clips or another but i think some of the translations into english was made nicer to fit in KZbin values. I dont speak any of the languages in the video, i herd what people from those countries said.

[@derionone]

When they speak any of the ex Yugoslavia languages so croatian serbian and so the translation often leaves stuff out because our cussing is really heavy but some translations would also make no sense ... but yeah i thinks its more because of youtube

[@huginmunin8253]

@@derionone yes, thats what i herd from some guys. Yeah some translations dont fit in to certain languages, i spoke to some hungarian and asked for a translation for a word but did not work. I also think i noticed a spanish coach in the video that said something with puta but it did not translate to what it ment.

[@zekeriyahaldun1518]

I think European coaches would be very successful in the NBA. It changes the stagnant atmosphere of the NBA. European coaches are more ambitious and determined. This is also reflected in the stands. Fans watch the match like they're watching a movie. NBA teams should definitely open their doors to European coaches. For example, Ergin ATAMAN would be the best choice for NBA teams

[@bijeliorao6460]

Ivković, Obradović, Pešić, Ivanović... Serbia They're coaches 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🔥

And then, when I watch clips with NBA games on KZbin, I find comments under them from US citizens like: "European basketball and basketball players are too soft. The NBA is the tough one." 😂 European clubs make gladiators out of the players and sell them to the NBA. They go to the NBA literally ready for anything!
