Holy Flares and Smoke Bombs, Batman! - Greek Eurobasket Final Ends in Pyrotechnical Forfeit

Most fans are usually fired up when it comes to watching their favorite team play for a possible championship.

However, Olympiakos fans in Greece took that to a whole other level as they faced their rival Panathinaikos for the Greek A-1 title. During game four of the series, unruly Olympiakos fans threw garbage and chairs onto the court along with lighting fire crackers and smoke bombs near the Panathinaikos bench area.

The game was eventually awarded to Panathinaikos after a fan threw a flare onto the court and officials deemed it unfit to continue which gave Panathinaikos the 3-1 series win and their 9th consecutive Greek A-1 title.



UPDATE: So of you have may noted that many former NBA players were in this video including Linas Kleiza, Josh Childress, and Maryland star Drew Nichols.
