Currently in Serbia and was in Belgrade earlier today and caught some live Partizan on TV. The two boys in the room with me were basketball players and showed me clips of the insane crowds that are normal in the Balkan league and especially in Belgrade with either Red Star or Partizan.
If there is any cheating by the refs here it is very minimal. The caliber of players may not be up to NBA standards, but the quality of the game from every other aspect exceeds the NBA.
Would be easy to become a Serbian team fan because all you have to do is say you're from Sacramento and it's Napred Kraljevi's!! all over the place. they already root(ed) for our team, would be easy to return the favor. Wonderful country. At least the corruption in Serbia is known by all rather than the charade we have in the US of which the NBA and their fake refs with serious face are emblematic.
