@@impresum881who gives a fuck about the serbian jersey lol, even jokic doesn't even like basketball that much and just uses it to fund his horse hobbies
Even football to soccer comparaisons the ultras here are wilder for soccer in London - France - Italy it's a religion and ultras are the largest groups of fans that goes to game to end up fighting almost all the time as shaking the stadium
Over the last 20 years, the chants of fans in a wide variety of sports have adapted in the vast majority of european countries. Totally boring. The same Ultras Lalala chants everywhere. Louder and longer in some countries, but ultimately always the same. Only in England do they still have their own style as far as possible, but there they have become a little quieter and less enthusiastic because of the expensive ticket prices and new stadiums
In the US, sports are family events. You bring your family, get some hot dogs, and enjoy the show. A Disneyland basically. In Europe, you put on your armor, say goodbye to your loved ones, and tell your fellow warriors that if you should fall to tell your sons that you died with honor.
yeah we dont really talk about that because if you call them teens then rape allegations come out and we cant have our star player associated with that, shush shush.
greek fans are something else, I was flatmates with greeks in university and they are as crazy as us scots when it comes to sports , they love their football and basketball with passion and get whipped up into a frenzy at games. The atmosphere the fans make is electric.
I don't think there's anyone in Europe that's not insane when it comes to Football. Here in France there wasn't a time I went to watch the on a stadium that I didn't have to fight someone
Pretty much all of Europe. England had an infamous reputation, but it's been cracked down now due to football hooligans going to international games, we've calmed down a little but football done properly is mad all over the World, Europe and South American are of course notorious for it.
@@victorhugo3952do you have difrent sektions in your stadiums? When i went there where diffrent sektions for how deticated a fan you are so a family Can go to the same game as the holligams With no problom
Europe teams are built on a club, an identity related to a town , an area. NBA teams are franchises, purely commercial entities set to move for profits.
I went to a Lakers game years ago. I had seats near the ceiling. It was dead quiet most of the game. I could hear every dribble, every step, and even what the players were saying to each other. Honestly, it was horrible.
@@chazdoit You could just talk to girls and here lots of gossip tho. I guess in US, sports are just entertainment while in Europe, it's still very much seen as passion and pride. It's a battlefield and fans do kill each other, tho now its quite rare.
Honestly there are probably crazier fans, basketball is just a really small sport in europe outside of the balkan regions. Just watch some football fans go
Serbia has the most hardcore fans in football and basketball in the entire world bro. Red star belgrade fans are known world wide as the maniacs of sports. They once went on a road trip to a english team and occupied 90% of the stadium and turnd their city into ashes bro
European fans outdo us in every sport lol. Interestingly enough, the most exciting baseball game I've been to was in Seoul, South Korea. I'm not a fan of baseball but the atmosphere was incredible there.
"out do us in every sport" No, no they do not and you're lying through your teeth "B-but Seoul baseball!" Do you know how many national sports worst korea even has? Baseball is the only one, the only thing that gets close is soccer and friggin archery and they aren't nearly as big The US has 5 national sports spread out over a huge area and it isn't used by the government to distract the people like it is in the rest of the world.
I toured Europe for two months one summer. I flew back to the US, landing in D.C. I then walked to the domestic terminals to catch my final flight home. I can not explain to you the shell shock of screaming children, fast food, and angry adults I returned to. I then decided to spend my remaining time in the international terminals. As soon as I did, a beautiful couple from Spain asked me all about my journey. I reflect on that experience often.
The shock of experiencing the European way of life and then comparing it to the American way of life is downright depressing. Americans simply have no idea just how shitty life in the USA is compared to places all over the world, including Europe and mainly the Mediterranean. It's just another reality altogether.
@nicolasmartinez795 As an American, the problem with America is shit is kind of too great. There's too many distractions vying for your dollar and dopamine that you don't realize the shit situation your in.
Every time I have a layover in DFW, I head over to Terminal D, the international terminal. It's uncanny how much more relaxed it is over there. The architecture certainly helps, with the much higher vaulted ceilings and wider concourse, but travelers in that terminal seem to keep things calm too.
@@el_mal_de_ojo Even worse - they don't know what financial advantage they have comparing to Europeans, so one could say they are "artificially unhappy". Prices of pretty much everything are higher in Europe (especially fuel and tech), and janitor in USA has higher salary than a university professor in most of the European countries. They are filthy rich beyond comprehension, and eternally unhappy.
Not really. Most teams are tied to a specific state, region, or city here in America, and there is a lot of pride that that city, region, or state has in that team.
@@robertcarson3116 meh most teams are so much more focused on money than the fans that the game experience suffers. Also unless you're a rich team relocation is never off the table
@@brenislanders I strongly disagree, and I'm not sure where you're getting that thought that these teams are focused on money. And, I don't see how the game experience is suffering. People here are having fun like always. And why would a team relocate? I just said that they are often tied to a specific city, region, or state, and that causes a certain level of pride in that team from the people living there.
I went to the Final Four in 2022. I'm a lifelong duke fan, and it was duke vs unc, AND it was Coach K's last season. The energy in that building lasts with me to this day. If yall wanna see real energy in american sports its in college, not professional.
@@LiberationOhioanMapping you’ve never attended a game at Cameron then, especially against UNC. Small stadium by today’s standards but the acoustics are incredible and the fans every bit as passionate as anywhere in the world
@@DonGivani this comment tells me you've never been to Cameron 🥱, take away the flares and the flag and it's pretty similar. and nothing is as intense as the crowd being
@@velocity960 In Europe we know and have seen a lot of Coach K Court. It is vivid but nothing like The Balkans . Even in Lisbon at Benfica Basket the crowd is crazy. Nope Duke is not in the same range
One thing I wish was more common here in America is fans doing these European song chants because here it is either simple cheers that the cheerleaders do or it's just general noise. I think it can really bring a cheerful and strong fan base together
No. The European cheer style sucks. They're just noise makers. We should aspire to cheer like the Japanese who have specific chants for every player. Also making chants against the other team is just what douchbags do
Too true.... Islander fan but born in Liverpool and go back 3 times a year for the match. That's part of the atmosphere/passion which exists on an entirely different spectrum when you compare the two cultures. But dont think for a second, with your Canadian flag there that you get something different from what goes on in the states at leafs, habs, flames, Oilers, sens, and canucks games
I'm from germany and when I went to my first basketball game with friends, we were standing right behind a big group of hardcore fans with drums, chanting, horns etc. They were rooting for our local team and when they won, everyone went crazy (in a positive sense). It was incredible!
@@augustus9708 Well I thought they were somehow supposed to help coordinate the cheering of the fans, hence the word cheerleader. Apparently I was wrong huh... but why would the team need them?
Lol try a match between two Istanbul teams, you would feel like you are going to war. The only place i can think where it can be tame is some English football clubs who have become too corporate like Man City and Chelsea.
@@kovacvc Lol what 're you talking about? Have you ever been to a game of Zenit, CSKA, Unics, Lokomotiv? The crowd is like in cinema. Serbians are much better in basketball. Partizan, Zvezda.
@@kovacvc SERBIA ALL ABOUT FOOTBALL??? Partizan had probably the best basketball fans in the world...Search for some games like against Maccabi in 2010. Football always was the 2nd sport in Serbia.
Yeap, at times they even use well respected people such as head coaches and general managers to calm people and not initiate mass riots. Sometimes, they succeed.
As an Asian our school is very first in the country to introduce Basketball to other schools around forty years ago. When we have interschool championship, the entire neighboorhood knows there is a match going. We used to go back with broken voice due to how much we shouted.
Nos USA existe fãs, na Europa e na América do Sul, tem torcedores fanáticos, seja no basquetebol, seja principalmente no futebol, e ninguém supera essa paixão
Aqui é paixão e fidelidade! Como um praticante assíduo de MMA, posso afirmar que uma das coisas mais lindas no mundo dos esportes é isso... A GARRA. Só pegar os torcedores do Cruzmaltino, o vascão da gama, como exemplo, ou meu SPFC, o time onde a moeda cai em pé; a torcida continua fiel, mesmo que desde 2012 tenha sido só ladeira a baixo.
I remember all standing in Football grounds in UK, they were some experience, the passion, singing, chanting, giving grief, being squashed in. Great days.
Yes that’s why they say it’s less pressure and easier to score in America but they also usually only average 8-12 points cause the skills level is so drastic although recently I think Europeans have a lot of players that are coming in great
In the USA, there are fans, in Europe and South America, there are fanatical fans, whether in basketball or especially in football, and nobody can overcome this passion.
@@bigoofinthechat5496 White people pretending that they are completely different from Europeans despite literally every culture they have coming from Europe never gets funnier. Whether its an aussie or an american, to most of the world yall are still just filthy colonisers who still feel morally okay to justify your existence after centuries of revolting beliefs and actions.
To the US, taking your kid to the big game is excellent bonding time To Europe, taking your kid to the big game is a coming-of-age ritual for only the strongest warriors
@@him1019 well than check how we "warm up" before/after the games arround the stadium.... sometimes during the game too 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Its ok that you dont have Ultras attempts on WorldCup, cuz your guys are going to get some "lessons" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
While this is funny... You don't know many American sports fans do you? You'll find that most US passion for her sports is in her college games. Florida State, U.S. Naval Academy, Portland Timbers, etc. There are some really good ones in the US. You just have to know where to look.
Shaq came to Greece back in the 90s and did an appearance at the Olympiakos stadium. We waited for an hour for him to come out because we were too loud 😂 I was 12...
I didn't pay 150-600 dollars to get a better workout than the players. I went for a few beers, entertainment, and some food. Ill yell and scream when they actually do something worthy of applause.
Yeah, the Serbian that can never make it past the first round. He's a joke. Edit: He beat an old heat team with Lowry, Butler, Herro and Oladipo all hurt. Adebayo even had a shoulder injury.
@@shaunm4208 we dont need good players because we arent glory supporters you might just follow which ever team is the best but we stick with our team through thick and thin
The person who made this video is obviously European cuz there are plenty of better ways to express the US crowds, and US basketball is 10x better so enjoy watching shitty basketball
im studying psychology and my professor once told me that humans always need something bigger than them self (big reason for religions) …one of the wisest things i ever heard for many many europeans its their football (for me dynamo dresden) or basketball club, idk what americans have, maybe money?
The fact that basketball isn’t even europes #1 sport and they’re still like this just shows how much people love sports over there. Like in Latin America from Mexico down to Argentina it’s the same but not nearly as close as it is in Europe tho
Yup, they love to spout off about freedom and then EVERYONE SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM NOW. Creepy place. edit: to be clear, this video is creepy to me because the American segment reeks of overly corporatised, prescriptive "fun-having". No spontaneity. No passion. It is also creepy (to anyone who knows anything about the Prison Industrial Complex or US foreign policy) to be sold the ideas of Freedom and Democracy by a government that clearly has little to no interest in either, and it is done through the constant low-level propaganda of various patriotic symbols/phrases (one nation under God, the star-spangled banner, sweet land of liberty etc.). This isn't to say that all Patriotism is bad, or that my country doesn't have its own problems, but this is an insidious part American society and it serves as a barrier to progress.
@@jacob8949 because we love the song. What's so creepy about that? We're not singing it for the world to see our patriotism. We sing it because we are just naturally patriotic. Notice alot of the people weren't singing. How is that not freedom? Its only creepy when your history isn't coming from weakest underdogs to strongest in the world. You know, like 90% of europe.
@@EBG... Patriotism through propaganda, nothing natural about it. As for that "strength" you love to boast about, how's American Imperialism working out for the rest of the world? Not something to be proud of.
i had a blast going to Treviso basketball games when i was young i still remmber the atmosphere and the vibe of the time when the fortitudo bologna team came for a game we had a police security cordon around their fans section of the stadium and when they arrived it started a literal chant war their supporters and their spot in the audience are literally called "Lions pit" and we consider them tame in confront of the Ultras of soccer you don't want to wear the worng colour in the wrong part of the audience
I've always wanted to go to an nba game, but after seeing all these videos i realized that i have something better way closer to me. Still want to see an nba game in person tho
American stands near the stadium: “we got all kinds of food, what would you like?” European stands near the stadium: “looking to protect yourself, or deal some damage?”
american shop near the stadium: "hey little kid, you can't buy this m16, you're too young, you should try the tec-9 it's allowed for you" european shop near the stadium: "we got all kinds of food and drinks, what would you like?"
In the USA you have basketball fans, soccer fans, baseball fans, hockey fans... In the Europe you have club fans that are supporting every game in the every sport
now its not all of europe. to get good basketball atmospheres, go to greece and watch giants like olympiacos and panathinaikos play and there's your atmosphere
@@fullnelson9999 "Individualism" is like a plot-armor. It's so convenient to just throw the concept of "individualism", whenever there is even a slight criticism of capitalist system or culture.
@@fullnelson9999 How does supporting your club passionately independently of your country make you less individual than droning out your national anthem over a big flag with no reference to your team at all? The US basketball crowd looked like a North Korean state address the way everyone is like a bot going through the motions, filling the same role as everyone else.
@@itsWelshy Not only the national anthem ceremonies, the entire "fan" culture is shaped by the franchise owners and regulatory bodies (often the broadcaster). I mean if a small group would stand up and try to sing a chant, they will get escorted out. I can't understand how can anybody throw the "individualism" on here, when they can only chant whenever the announcement guy (I don't know the exact term) actually commands them to yell "D E F E N S E".
@@itsWelshy hyperbole doesn't make your argument any stronger. North Korea? Give me a break. Americans don't associate the anthem with the same things that other countries do. You're trying to analyze this with the wrong perspective.
@@DogukanSeptem "if a small group would stand up and try to sing a chant..." Lol, OK buddy. Not a shred of that statement is true. Have fun in fantasy land.
You don't think not screaming 'defence' or 'mvp' over and over again has something to do with it? I'm European, but only watch NBA and I absolutely hate everything about NBA that happens off the court. Lame chants, loud annoying music, way too commercially organised, courtside is only for rich people, etc.
@@Jay71k of course you can do that, but I reckon if you don't do it, it improves the atmosphere for the average consumer. These teams are very much communities and making it more exclusive, by raising the seatprice, would make it harder for the team's community to attain this level of togetherness. From a business standpoint the American model makes sense, but from an enthusiast's perspective the European (or more specifically, Balkan) model makes more sense.
Those images are from some Eastern European countries. In Spain I have never seen this behavior. I would like to see a comparison of Universities and colleges USA vs Europe. I have seen that in the USA they wear bulletproof vests and they search the students at the entrance. The same would be exaggerated and it is not in all universities and colleges.
The pressure is to produce against the best basketball players in the world and to win. Plus Luka played in Western Europe in Real Madrid -- I don't think he really gives to two shits if the US crowd is more reserved than the Spanish crowd.
the biggest difference: we don't kill each other. we celebrate sport, are proud of our colors but the human factor takes precedence over everything. in the USA people are worth nothing. Brands, gangs, symbols are worth more.
As a Romanian, I remember when I was young going to my first football match against a Russian team. They were literally shouting war cries and chanting death songs. I became a man that day.
Except that European basketball teams are full of American athletes who have successful long term careers there. So your theory falls down. You would probably shit your pants. Psychiatrists call that "projection".
It just means more to the europeans.They truly go to support their club with honor. Also i think that the working class is able to attend games more easier in Europe. In the U.S tickets can become very expensive for the average person. A playoff game could easily be attened by mostly rich people whome dont even really like the team as much. Imagine how a Lakers game atmosphere would be like if the average LA basketball fan would be like and not just celebrities and people with money.
@Antonio Do you really go to comments of people to spread your negativity? Do you enjoy this? You have posted like over 10 comments in this video insulting European basket culture. It's not people in this video who you should be embarrassed of.
@Antonio We sure as hell should be embarassed but not for the reason you named. You can look up Red Star vs Partizan football derby if you want to see them literally having a war in the stadium and playing a contact sport. They always fight, there was even an execution during one match, and there is always a ton of badly hurt people. The stadiums are full of ultra nationalistic people who would love to go to war and commit atrocities. They are usually drunk and or drugged crackheads with no life or future, that's why we should be embarassed, because stuff like this should be eradicated but it is unfortunately often glorified in parts with low HDI.
@Antonio what do you want from me? I come from Frankfurt and we would beat you up every single day in our life. The real sport is in forests or somewhere hidden out of public 20 vs 20. Never watched basketball in my whole life Football is the only passion
I fucking knew the first european clip would be of greece. Fun fact the song they are singing talks about the other team being homosexuals and enjoying such activities.
@@whenisdinner2137 you kidding me?? College basketball is so shit, they just put up some pop music and everyone jumps, nothing special about it and it's not even loud
i watched too many premiere league from UK and european champion league to know how it is on the players, that either give the player hype or completely collapsing them.
