Well said, enough to me

Ain´t that the truth!

The free throw line alone intimidates him. Can’t make his freaking free throws.

@@kikomagana1990 But he can drop 40 on everyone, so yeah, your point is dumb

@@markomarkovic5729 it ain't a point, it's the truth. He's prolly like 50% from the FT, but can drop 40+ no sweat, like Shaq.

@@jardanivito Luka has a ft problem CURRENTLY, I don't know if it's shot mechanics or some psychological blockade, but his career ft% is over 73%, in Europe around 83%, which is far from bad. Simply, such things happen, and there's no rational explanation. I remember one great European player from the 90s, also from the region of former Yugoslavia (Žarko Paspalj), the best European forward at the time, who was almost automatic from the free throws, and then inexplicably shot ft's below 50% for two seasons, and then again over 85% in the last three seasons of his career. He was asked numerous times to account for the sudden loss of his shooting confidence and while he was unable to pinpoint any one cause, remarking on one occasion that the shot was a mechanism that he done for years without any problems until he began to miss regularly and question himself. Many years later, he said that for years he had a minor injury to the shooter's arm, which he didn't completely heal, and that this was most likely the cause. I didn't notice that Luka changed his shot mechanics, so I think this is just a momentary lack of confidence, which is strange, considering that he's able to drop 40pts triple-double every night and that he's a clutch.

@@jardanivito He's a scorer not a shooter. Oh and throughout his career he's in the 70% region from the freethrow line like Lebron. This playoff series is an anomaly.

I agree but the problem is in my opinion that u cant have ppl spiting or throwing bottles on players in Europe hooligans are a huge problem for the game it self lots of ppl in Greece dont want to go in a big game with their kids cause they are afraid that maybe hooligans will make the game a battlefield Other than that for me chanting and yelling and the overall atmosphere is fine as long as ppl dont throw stuff or fight there needs to be a line and the Nba is doing good banning ppl that throw stuff or spit on players imo trashtalking is ok now the racist stuff im unsure how to adress them cause there are so manny ppl out there saying them on both leagues and i doubt any of those leagues would ban half the fans or so

@@comptonGANGBANG it would be better without the throwing, but it is what it is. Everything has positive and negative sides.

@@yamwaimeng5933 They are not... affiliated; they are the same teams, with many... 'branches' in different sports.

You're right dude

@@yamwaimeng5933 it's not only top teams, many many small teams are multisport.

Years ago I was in Serbia and went to a Red Star game because a team from my country came there when I was there. So, I went to the game. I was more in awe with the Serbian fans than with the game haha. Really good atmosphere. The singing, the cheering, the noise, the earthquake from all the jumping in unison as you see in this video in the beginning... goosebumps.

100% right. I remember once I tried watching a baseball game, there was a time where the camera men focused on the people and I saw a couple guys taking a nap in the middle of the game LOL.

Well spoken

Perfect description! 100% accurate 😄

Ah. I remember a bar from a fan song that roughly translates to "And we're about to show this nation how arena violence is conducted"

Yeah it's completely different, noise level alone is on another level

The rivalry between Boston Celtics and L.A. Lakers in NBA can be compared to that which exists in European football between Liverpool and Manchester UTD in England, or that between Real Madrid and Barcelona in Spain, or that between Juventus and Inter or Milan in Italy. But here we are just talking about "sporting rivalry" between big clubs. "Fan rivalries" in Europe, such as that between Fenerbache and Galatasaray in Turkey, are something else, definitely..

@@brothoftheworldbro4333 No. Not even close.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Garnett is a clown.

a lot of rivalries in europe go beyond sports themselves. Since we can't go to war against each other anymore we pour our hearts onto sports and I honestly think it's very meaningful and helps a lot in creating healthy relations

yup...although they are a huge Basketball nation

Its not picked because its a poor market. No one would fight over NBA clubs lol

Τι να μας πει κ ο κυριος αυγολεμονος

its a small market. nba has nothing to gain from greece and considering that nba games are all early in the morning for us in greece, its a no go... i mean no man with a job can stay up that late at night to watch a fucking game and the kids that have the time to do that dont have the money to buy nba sub etc... when i was younger i used to watch constantly... now i havent seen a game for years... and its not like i dont want to watch yiannis...

There's no arena in Greece fulfilling the NBA standards, unlike most European countries. We have either too small or too degraded or just not modern enough arenas.

Just Southern? Everywhere!

All europe

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@300subscriberswithoutanyvideos In basketball? LOL. Only southern Europe! Or I should say Greece, Serbia, and Turkey.

, today almost all of the clubs belongs to private people also in football. What makes the fans so good is the fans organizations. They pave the atmosphere. NBA and U.S. professional sports in general are lacking the fan organizations who would start singing and jumping pave the atmosphere for people who would be passive without them , oriented fans can really electrify all the building when they are on fire. College sports are more oriented because all of the students are more oriented, and they have band and college culture.

Ocigledno si primio fajzera. Nisi pri pameti😂😂

Make a point

Rich people mostly.

But that's how it used to be here in the US until the games started pricing the avg fan out for the rich folk

In Europe bring family to the games seems like a joke. You have to protect your family.

@@koalabandit9166 better to get some steam off at the stadium then shooting kid at school I guess

13:50 - Like Crips vs Bloods The passion is certainly impressive, but it's no good if you are being disrespectful (spitting) or even harmful (throwing firecrackers and hard objects) to anyone, but especially to the players and the people working there. On one hand American fans are not as passionate so that kind of intense atmosphere is lacking, but on the other hand you can be fairly certain that you are not going to get harassed or injured as a fan or as a player.

It is kinda like american gangs, but way more traditional.

@@4726-i4d Also it's about your city, region, state or religion etc. Especially at derbys. Not about some superficial Jaguars, Rangers or Bears mascotts who travel to the next city in a few years.

I’m from Britain where our football (soccer) games atmosphere is electric. I haven’t been to an NBA game myself but I watch a lot of them and they seem too much about dancing and eating rather than supporting your team and really getting lost in the moment through pure passion and/or hatred for the other team. That’s sports to me

Thats completly false. Modern mass sports became a thing only at mid-end 19th century.

Nope the real reason is history in the europe peoples live in the same place for the centuries that's why they know everyone around them and can pack a strong bond some of them use that bond for a hard core cheerleading. In the US peoples move all the time, they doesnt have this type of bond everything is more superficial including cheerleading

Yes! I had the same experience with hockey. There was more crowd energy in my small city team game than in an actual NHL game. Definitely feels very different. It’s like people would look at you weird because you’re cheering too loudly for your team. Not saying it’s bad but a bit underwhelming

In american sports especially baseball, the fans busy stuffing their faces.

As someone who lives in Germany can you tell what is the popularity of basketball in Germany? Handball? Volleyball? football? Ice hockey ? Water Polo? Are there areas in Germany where a specific sport is more popular than in other cities?

@@sami...b-s3h Football is by far the most popular sport here. You have teams in the SECOND division filling up stadiums holding 30.000+ spectators (under normal circumstances, that is). That's more than many top teams in other countries are gathering. Basketball is developing and increasing in popularity, with some teams being Euroleague ready, but it still has some way to go to rival the top European leagues. Volleyball is on the decline. Interest is low and there isn't much money invested in it, which make Germany a pretty poor destination for professional volleyball players. Ice hockey is faring better than basketball and many teams can definitely compete with top teams from Finland and the Czech Republic. Atmosphere is pretty good too. Trouble is, it is becoming financially unattractive and only about three teams average anything coming even close to NHL attendance numbers. Water polo I don't follow, so I have no clue, but you don't really hear anything about that even in sports media. The best German team would probably be beaten easily by an average Greek team. As for the popularity: People are interested in most sports all around the country, but it is definitely in southern Germany where most successful teams are based. Northern Germany lost a tremendous amount of decent teams over the years and as such, interest in investments has declined in the North. It also depends on the affiliation each city has with its teams. Hamburg, for instance, which prided itself as a "sports city" until a few years ago, has not one single team in the top division of any major sport. Football is second class (two teams), hockey is third class. Only basketball is in the top division, but with mixed results in the last years. So as with everything, it depends. Interest in sports is high, but depending on the sports you want to watch, you are better off in the South.

The europeans should stopping taking pride in babriic behavior.

He better move out of town and never come back or he gonna get beat down bad. Damn, nobody ever thinks of that kind of stuff. Talking back to the fans after the loss.. damn, they gotta stay still, cry and take all the abuse. You got payed to win, you lost so you failed at your duty.
