While many factors were involved, one cannot disagree over the obvious, a vastly different environment. Durant’s own tweet about the celebration was a stark contrast to the NBA, as colors took over the entire area. Not only was the energy different, but it also felt more happening with people carrying flares in their hands.

Fans in turn asked Durant about NBA, and how they would like to see their fanbase against the EuroLeague.

Durant’s response was bizarre, the Nets star proposing a weird idea to fans. As per the two-time NBA Champion, fans attending an NBA game should use a flare. While that might be possible in American arenas, it would certainly create a different vibe altogether. Not only are the fans tougher, it ends up being a tough environment for players as well.

Was KD welcomed in Greece?

Overall, Durant did not receive a warm welcome in Greece. He was booed by Olympiacos fans at their stadium, as he was there to support a friend in the opposition. The Olympiacos even beat Monaco 94-88, further aggravating the stadium filled with fans.
