European Member Intro Thread

[ip84]

i guess stranger things have happened

Not strange at all. It's a sign of a true basketball fan

I think that liking Players like Ricky and Teodosic is something cross-teams/countries

Maybe we should open another topic of "your favorite players" and see what players are liked not just by fans of their teams.

Hello,

I am a huge fan of international and european basketball. Iam originally from New Zealand, but now live in New York. I became a fan of international basketball during the 2002 FIBA World Championships when New Zealand finished 4th. Before then I only really knew about NBA.

I have been following Euroleague this season and now prefer it to the NBA. The fans and intensity is amazing - particularly Partizan Belgrade fans. Thankfully ESPN and NBA TV show Euroleague games here in the USA.

My favourite players are Steve Nash, and anyone who plays or has played for Serbia - particularly Peja Stojakovic, Milos Teodosic, Dejan Bodiroga.

Appreciated!

Damn,you got nearly all priorities wrong,apart from nba part.Unless you have some family roots from Serbia).
Or maybe it is just me - i know that Partizan fans are something,and although it is not too high up on my bucket list,maybe one day i will see them play live in Belgrade.
You can still smoke in the arena,right?

Partizan

Partizan fans are amazing. I am a PAO fan myself, but I have met some of them and I can only they are amazing. Being in Belgrade is a once in a lifetime experience. It is probably the Paris of the Balcans. :-D If anybody has the chance to visit the city, he should do it without any second thought.

Gee, the Serbs don't seem very popular on this forum.

Paris of the Balkans my ass! More like Rio de Janeiro of Balkans, with all his beautiful favelas... There is big tolerance to many unsocial behaviors here in Belgrade, only making it more and more nonfunctional for it's citizens. Like pseudo-communist haven't ruined it enough in fifty years, with their ugly neo-soc architecture and short-term planing (not to mention Milošević era, sanctions and wild-west governing in the last twenty years).

BTW, Bucharest is the one called "little Paris"...

P.S.
Do visit Belgrade, it have lots of things to offer, but putting it in the same sentence with Paris is, simply, fictional...

Officially it's forbidden, but... it's all individual how one obeys the law.

[Gonzaka]

Bizkaia Bilbao Basket

No, that's BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB.

They have a great arena, i like the design of the interior especially. The black color is used well. Their jerseys are pretty well also.

It's good to see that the Spanish pay attention to this kind of things. Hopefully we will improve in the future also.

The withe t-shirt is partizan t-shirt 2.0.
The black t-shirt is the same than boston celtics t-shirt but green -> Black

[Kwijibo]

so they copied it from nba (black one)

The jersey is really nice but the colors are 'wrong'. I mean, i can't wear them in public, cause people will think I'm for besiktas, they have the same color .

In Spain we have only few teams with the same colours than Galataçaray. For example spain national team has the same colours than Galataçaray and old akasvayu girona had the same colours than galataçaray

I'v been reading the posts on this forum for the last two years or so and lately felt the earge of participating more actively.
So again greeting every one.

P.s.
Maccabeo doesn't understand the first thing about basketball whatsoever. No disrespect but that's my opinion.
