Just wanted to give a heads up for anyone looking for some high-intensity basketball before the NBA games start tomorrow (Friday).
The Belgrade Derby (Partizan vs Crvena Zvezda) is happening in the EuroLeague. For those who don't know, this is widely considered the fiercest rivalry in European sports. The atmosphere is usually deafening with (often more than) 20,000 people chanting for 2 hours straight, flares, the whole package.
Why you should care:
- The Atmosphere: Unlike NBA games where crowds can be quiet, this is non-stop noise. It’s a huge culture shock if you've only watched US sports.
- Easy to Watch: Usually, EuroLeague is hard to access in the States, but for this game, they partnered with House of Highlights. It will be streamed live and free on their YouTube channel for viewers in the US and Canada.
- The History: The rivalry started in 1946 on an outdoor court at the Kalemegdan Fortress. It goes deep.
- Familiar Faces: Former NBA DPOY Joakim Noah and streetball legend The Professor and Brian Windhorst are in Belgrade specifically for this game creating content, so you might see them on the broadcast.
- The teams also contain a lot of ex NBA talent, such as Jabari Parker, Devonte Graham, Jared Butler, Shake Milton, Aleksej Pokusevski, Donatas Motiejunas, Isaiah Canaan, Jordan Nwora, Sterling Brown, Duane Washington, Bruno Fernando, Isaac Bonga and more.
Game Info:
- When: Friday, 20:30 CET (That is 2:30 PM ET / 11:30 AM PT).
- Where to watch: House of Highlights YouTube channel.
