American vs European Basketball: The Differences 🏀
I'm not a regular basketball watcher, but I do enjoy a good game. As you may know, there are differences between American and European basketball, which make it seem like a different game altogether. I found a good article that explains in detail the differences between American and European basketball, if you're interested in learning more you can do so HERE. One of the main differences is the atmosphere in the stadium, the fans have a totally different behavior. See for yourself:
