As an older guy, let me share what I remember for the Voodoo-voodoo chant. 1995-1996 football team of Panathinaikos is eliminating one team after the other in UEFA Champions league reaching the semi-final winning the first leg game with Ajax in Amsterdam. Our coach was the "Indian" alike Argentinian Juan Ramon Rocha. They were teasing us that he was using voodoo tricks to eliminate our oponents. ...and that's how it started. The chant was our answer....

I LOVE YOU FOR SHOWING UP WITH PAO SHIRT,WE FORGIVE YOU FOR NOT BELIEVING IN US TOO,WE WAIT YOU IN OAKA NEXT SEASON YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT☘️

Congrats brothers from Žalgiris fans! 💚☘️☘️

Rytis is at home, boiling SEVEN basketballs and trying to understand the game !! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☘️

Congrats to Pana from a Virtus fan in Indiana! Thanks for the podcasts and content fellas

Congrats to Pana! Efes fans’ hearts with Pana. this is not only because of Ataman but also Pana is a really humble team. Pana and fans deserved it!

Congratz to PAO from Lithuania! Well deserved 7th star! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Voodoo voodoo" chant, was firtstly introduced for Saragosa's final four in 1995. The translation is : "Voodoo voodoo and green magic we will bring the trophy from Germany " (the original was referring to "Spain")

You are very welcome to Athens next year! Rytis also! You are the best podcast in Europe. Greetings from Greece

Panathinaikos' logo soon will look like the flag of European union

Rytis is still in amber alert!!

The shot of sloukas was metered from the greek TV channel that cast the game. Was 9 meters!

Just bought your merch, much love and support . Was nice to see you in Berlin. ☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘

Guys as a PAO fan I want to thank you for the amazing work you have done analysing the game and all the great things you said about my team. Thank you again.Keep going.

Ataman is not only a very good coach.. he gave a sign of a good character. Defensive tactics of the team have at a great percentage the stamp of Christos Serelis first and Savvas Kamperidis second.. and Ataman had the guts to admit it.

I'm a PAO fan we are the champions. And that's a fact, deep to the bone, for everyone, I hope Evans return healthy and strong as soon as possible, firstly cause he is a great guy and a great player and we do not laugh over injuries, and lastly to join Olympiacos so we can have a better competition and win against them even with Evans!!

"Voodoo voodoo, voodoo voodoo and green magic ✨. We will bring the trophy 🏆 from Germany! " The exact translation, in Greek it rhymes. ☘️

As a "silent PAO fan" the intro with our anthem was EPIC XD. I was downtown Athens during the game and after. Ambelogarden, Omonoia, Alexandras Avenue, Pedion tou Areos. ATHENS WAS BURNINNNNNNN

Congrats Panathinaikos! ❤☘️

as a neutral viewer there were a lot of funny & crazy moments for me while standing next to pao fans. for example - how they mocked larentzakis constantly in the game for the 3d spot - how they shouted sloouuuuukaaaaas to the oly fans - how so many greeks echoed the name of a turkish man after the final =)

the chant goes : Voodoo Voodoo , //

Vildoza locked Campazzo down... He couldn't move a muscle without him being there.

Real Madrid has probably better players if you compare the teams head to head...but Panathinaikos was a better team...the way they communicate and support each other and how they stay at their role is amazing...I've only witnessed this in Obradovic days...Baby we are back...The King is Back...🤣

As a Fener fan, I do not think I can ever warm up to Ataman but you gotta give credit when its due. Congrats to him, to Sloukas and the whole team. It is tough to beat Madrid, they have done a great job.

Boys keep up the amazing show. You can’t be right in sports most of the time. Waiting for you in OAKA.☘️

Amazing conversation !!!

Our Lithuanian friends are welcome in oaka 🏆☘️🏆☘️🏆☘️🏆☘️🏆☘️🏆☘️🏆☘️

As a turkish basketball lover watching international basketball since late 80s, this years pana story was very special and I enjoyed witnessing it. Especially macca series was amazing.

Please address the elephant in the room. Panathinaikos did all that by having a proper Greek team with Greek players, off course they were supported by skillful foreign players but that's not the case with other clubs. For example Macabi, I think that's what Euroleague needs, teams with more national players and to promote their inner talent.

Congratulations for the show guy, greetings from Athens ☘️ We really like you and love the content. Don't feel bad about the predictions,even we ourselves didn't expect Panathinaikos to qualify at the f4 not to mention winning the trophy, but man, Sloukas and the crew had a different opinion.

Not a fan of any of the F4 teams, but a huge fan of Basketnews!

Very nice video guys,hello from Greece.

Come to OAKA this year in Greek Finals to see the peak atmosphere

You are a great team guys. We love your podcasts. I love Monday nights because of you. Congrats to Pana organisation, fans and our Ataman.❤ We have celebrated in Turkey with you guys.

Not everyone can win after building a completely new team that's true. but Pao is not like Armani or Monaco who just put in money. The history/legacy of this team is very heavy. He was like a sleeping giant.

Hey guys, thank you for this year’s coverage of the Europeague and your great work with the analyses throughout the season. Another thing about Sloukas is that at the beginning of the 2023-24 euro league season he was voted the most overrated player of the league at your survey with 23 Europeague players published on 24 October 2023. I think he gave some pretty convincing answers with his performances this year and off course his mvp performance in the final.

That chant is no near new! We've chanted it since 1996 and more back ;)

Great job guys! PANA über alles 😁☘

the chant "voodoo voodoo" comes from 1994 if I am not mistaken, the year "voodoo people" from Prodigy conquered the charts

The "feel the European crowd", "Dont try to americanize everything", is a serious discussion that they should take more seriously. Thanks for bringing this up! It should be talked more!

Thanks guys you are the best European online basket channel

Thanks guys..it was a very beautiful journey this year. Even we the greens could not believe we got the trophy..its an amazing feeling

Congrats to PAO from an Oly fan. Unfortunately we always come short coz we don’t have a leader to take the ball when it matters. I love the vision Bartzokas has about team basketball but we need a ball handler that will not choke and can make the crucial shots. You can’t counter losing Sloukas and Vezenkov by signing Sikma and Brazdeikis… And now Evans injured before even signing. We got to be the most cursed team in the post-Spanoulis era.

Huge shout out you lads, your efforts your contents on English are deserves huge shout out, I do follow and subscribe for a while but it's the first time I want to interact with. Huge appreciation lads and keep it up. PS. Just bought 2 Ataman swags to Ireland from your site. Amazing mee here 🎉

Voodoo voodoo, voodoo voodoo kai prasini magia, to kipelo tha feroume apo tin germania! Sing it with us! ☘☘☘☘☘☘☘

You are welcome to OAKA guys.. You should feel this green vibes.. You will like this even more than BERLIN.

I am Olympiakos fan but this is how the greek fight spirit wins, gongrats to PAO! p.s Only the Turks were the black spot of the final4 as usual

I hope rytis is alive and well, get well soon bro

Predictions can always go wrong guys.. Don't worry about it,us Greeks love trash talking,but non the less we hold no hard feelings. Come to OAKA and i promise you that you'll have a once in a lifetime experience..cheers.☘️☘️☘️

Can anybody please why did Chus Matteo start with Eli Ndiaye, what was the plan, and why did he sub him and never took him back in the game when he had completely surprised PAO defense and scored 8 points in a row at the start of. the game ?

Gytis Blazevicius, as you have pointed out in previous videos, Ergin Ataman qualifies as a manager who just recruits players and is not even qualified as a coach. Can you elaborate on how the MVP player of the EuroLeague champion invites this employee "manager" to raise the cup with him and praises him as the genius behind the success in the post-game press conference?

Oh my God, there are so many words to say that I should say nothing... But Europe, how can't you like a team (fans, players, coaches, owner) with this authentic passion for the game? How can't you like a team that combines the most flags of the European basketball map: 🇬🇷🇹🇷🇫🇷🇪🇸🇱🇹🇵🇱 + 🇺🇸🇦🇷 (Yes, Americans and Argentinians are also serious part of Euroleague basketball). I hope next year some of the most important flags will be included to ☘️ family: 🇭🇷🇷🇸 Cheers everybody! See you in OAKA, you're all welcome here! Just bring your best vibes! 🙂

This chant is 30 yrs old, first sang around 1994, before the Tel Aviv F4

EXCELLENT COMMENTARY!

Guys I you think Lessor is quite similar with Mike Batiste...Especially on his role under the basket...would you agree? Panathinaikos under Obradovic used to play with a shorter player in the 5 position....

Thank you guys, your words made us champions of Europe. Μπινεδες

Panathinaikos is the most lovable/fun team in terms of amazing fans and player characters ...congratulations greeks.. from my perspective Ataman outplayed both Sarounas and Mateo..and wasnt real that missed 3s and the game..He did the same thing in Fener in the same way with Fener and dominated Real that got in the game exactly the way with Olympiakos but Panathinaikos was better, Ataman is the coach of the year.

voodoo voodoo is a very old chant from the 80s

Is he breathing? Is he ok? Does he need any help? You know who. Our favorite guy the one who is always underestimating us.The Panathinaikos jersey is made out of titanium. Its something unique. Panathinaikos team is literally giving hope and keeps alive all green and white brothers around the world.Its not just a team.Its a religion. Have than in mind next time you guess Maccabi 3-1 Pao

1. Never the nr1 ceed of the regular season get a Euroleague trophy! 2.Pana has 7 Euroleague finals with 7 victories 3. Matias was playing alone as a center, the whole season !!! All alone!!!

ΒΟΥΝΤΟΥ ΒΟΥΝΤΟΥΥΥΥΥ ΒΟΥΝΤΟΥ ΒΟΥΝΤΟΥΥΥΥΥ ΚΑΙ ΠΡΑΣΙΝΗ, ΜΑΓΕΙΙΙΙΑΑΑΑΑΑ ΟΟΟ-ΟΟΟOO ΤΟ ΚΥΠΕΛΛΟ ΘΑ ΦΕΡΟΥΜΕ! ΑΠΟ ΤΗΝ ΓΕE-ΡΜΑΝΙΙΙΙIΑΑΑΑΑΑΑ ☘🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆☘

It was all about psychology. Panathinaikos hustled like mad, took no shit, and persevered. With 8.000 crazy Greeks on their side and the Eye of the Tiger they had, it was impossible to lose. Real Madrid is a team who was never challenged like that and they lost completely confidence.

Lol the comments are roasting tf out of Rytis

it is a very old chant back from the 90s..and we used it this year with a little bit different lyrics asking for the 7th star..and we have allready changed it to ask for the 8th..

Where is Maccabi 3-1?

This Real Madrid team is like the baddies in Rocky movies. Before they fight Rocky they go around demolishing everyone in the most brutal way. Then, the time for the Rocky fight comes, and for the first couple rounds they have him on the ropes and at round three they receive a massive punch on the head and you can see them gradually falling apart until the inevitable KO at round twelve.

Guys I told you while sitting next to you at Redo XXL, that we will win easily... My greetings to the guy with the microphone!! 😉 ☘️☘️☘️

Guys , keep up the good work! Trash talk always comes with fame together! We love you. Today, at least 😂. ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️

I think you guys need to come to Greece to learn about the Culture & especially the Basketball Madness that this country always has. Greeks Love this sport, and they tend to be very knowledgable about it when you actually sit down & talk to them. We invite you to Greece fellas Come & See 🇬🇷👌🏻

I think someone is in love with Panathinaikos fans!!!

Voodoovoodooo music come from a 1963 song: Giorgos Zampetas (O Pio Kalos O Mathitis - Ο πιο καλός ο μαθητής)

Speaking about the organization of Euroleague, there was a time not long ago, when Dimitris Giannakopoulos(president of pao) was talking about Bertomeu and that on terms of finaces,ads,sponsors,bad referees and organization in general, it is veeery far behind and creates problems in the teams.I remember, everyone was mocking him.Now, it turns out he was right. Unbelievable that the winning team only is rewarded with around 3 million€.Imagine someone paying 20-30-35 mil € and only takes at most 5 mill back.

Gytis 💚☘️

Where is Rytis?😂

2nd 3rd 4th quarter score: 70-44!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 55% 3pts PANA destroyed Real Well deserved champions!!

the rytis jinx became reality a well deserved title winner

Mateo forgot NDiaye and Musa. Smart coaching Ataman all the way from switch of the pnr to deny down the right side. Amazing game.

you should come to oaka during the league finals against olympiacos

Great analysis you guys, You really know basketball and have done your homework! Keep up the good work!

Scottie came, got drunk, slept on the first row, got the money and left.... proper ςhttςhow idol.

AMBER ALERT, RYTIS DISAPPEARED

Dear older guy @giok2182 your memory fails you. The chant "voodoo voodoo and green magic, we will bring the Cup from Spain" was sung by PAO fans not in 1995-95 but in 1991, when we made it to the Euroleague Final Four in Zaragoza, Spain. Sadly, we lost to Olympiacos in the semi-final, so the fans considered that it brings bad luck and stopped singing it. However, they did sing it in 2011, when we actually did bring the European title from Barcelona. But, as we all know, that was our last Final Four, as after that Zeljko left and the team went through a 12-year hiatus. This year, Spain (Ispania) was changed to Germany (Germania) and the 32-year old song was revived and FINALLY became a European hit! ❤ Voodoo Voodoo Kai Prasini Mayia, Voodoo Voodoo and Green Magic, / to Kypelo tha feroume apo ti Germania !!! we will bring the Cup from Germany !!!

Let's start with what's important... He is alive? He survived the onslaught? Our prayers with him 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Joking, I always enjoy the content guys, keep it going!

Also we should say congrats to our "enemy" Olympiakos for the fight he gave and the 3rd place . Both top Greek teams finished in the podium and from a small country of 8-9 m people population . The future is bright for our basketball , and futurewill always have our names written there.

Το κάναμε και αυτό, το κάναμε και αυτό, σηκώσαμε το 7ο με Σλούκα αρχηγό! Επικό το 7o αστέρι, τέτοιο comeback κανείς δεν έχει κάνει στη ιστορία του αθλήματος! Για τον Παυλάρα και τον Θανασάρα εκεί ψηλά!

The voodoo voodoo was first introduced in 1994 Saragosa final 4

I am worries about Rytis.. is he ok??? ☘️☘️☘️Voodo voodoo

actually I slept like a baby. I didn't on Saturday waiting for the game!🙂

Voodoo Voodoo was a song about berlin 2009 so we bring it back,but from now on we are gonna use it every year

it's very nice that you broadcast and your analysis is very nice but where is the ritis?

As for Euroleague product value, Yiannakopoulos he as told / written many things.. and I think he ys right on this. Euroleuague as an organization does not enough to promote its product.. Although I don't like certain practices and character dudes of the guy.. Olympiakos, I think they should sign Evans but giving a quite smaller amount of money for the first year and having opt out then. In the past they have regretted letting Hacket leave after a rehab period.. thinking that possibly he could not return to be the same player after his injury. Although there was a very strong connection between the player, the fans and the organization.

Translation "voodoo voodoo and green magic, we brought back the cup from Germany"

Nononono, we want Rytis Visniauskas. We want the "Prophet". Stop protecting him.

no new chant..."vodoo voodoo "and green magic, the cup we are going to take,inside germany"*(translated)...born about 1994-96,just hadnt been heard since 2012....☘👑..we are back!!!!

The Voodo Voodo chant is actually very old, but used in years where we are strong contenders for the title. It translates to "voodoo and green magic , the cup we will bring from EnterF4CountryHere" So we haven't had a chance to use it in many years. Love from Athens.

the "Voodoo Voodoo" chant is actually a very old one with several different version to suit different occasions....but its a strong one...

Voodoo voodoo is an old chant actually, but it is now again relevant, next year 8th star is coming

No worries the 6 stars jersey u wear right now its collectable !
