  1. soccer is most popular sport in turkey of but we always had couple players in nba and our basketball league pretty competitive in europe

  2. The government has really made things more difficult for its
    citizens and we can't sit back and bear all the consequences
    of the bad governance. it's obvious we are headed for
    hyperinflation, it is always the poor who take the hit

  3. those were the days yea, now full of arabs, syrians, afghan and pakistani all over the city, city is dying after 2300. and faces are all angry.

  4. Thanks for this great Cultural video. Turkish Basketball means is Passion <3

  5. I am mot surprised. Turks are very competitive and very physical. World famous for physical sports like weight lifting 💪. And basketball is very physical. So yeah.

  6. Just to be clear there is absolutely no competition between Fenerbahçe Galatasaray and Besiktas in bball. Fenerbahce is dominating clearly in the league and in the europe and only competes with Anadolu Efes .

  7. Beautiful cinematography. Would love to know more about the production. Great storytelling. Nice work NBA.
