Half an hour after my boys lost their home game this week in Euroleague. No one is leaving - instead fans are singing, to let the players know they will stand behind them no matter what.
This was the first time in my life I cried watching a basketball game.....

It’s a song .Translates loosely to:
" When you’re no longer at the top,
and when you start hearing whistles ,

I’ll still love you!"

Pure awesomeness…

Dude...

Euro fans know how to truly be fans. I think they get it from the hardcore soccer fandom.

I wish American spectators would be this dedicated.

No problem.
Some of my high school buddies were there.
They say that the entire thing was spontaneous and people were crying all over the place, not because of a home loss, but because they were so proud to be fans of the team.
Pure emotion.

My favorite line that night was Lester Bo Mccalebb, PG for the team. He said:
" I will be telling my grand kids about this…"
