Euroleague final had fires in stands, Salt Bae, and ceremonial cutting of a man bun
The EuroLeague championship got crazy after Turkish club Fenerbahçe won the the championship
The EuroLeague Championship got insane this year when Turkish club Fenerbahçe took down the Greek club Olympicacos B.C. in a total blowout. This was Fenerbahçe's first Euroleague title, so their fans had been waiting a long time to celebrate becoming the top team in all of Europe.
With former NBA players like Pero Antic and Ekpe Udoh on the roster, Fenerbahçe dominated on their way to an 80-64 victory. It's hard for a fanbase to not let excitement consume them in a moment like that and since it's Europe there's only one way to properly celebrate. Set the arena on fire as quickly as possible.

Of course, the players themselves were pretty excited as well. In the NBA championship celebrations vary between champagne showers, cutting down nets, dog piles on the court. However, Fenerbahçe took this one step further with one of the most incredible celebrations you'll see. Some NBA fans will remember Luigi Datome. He has a man bun and according to Pero Antic that man bun had to go ASAP. So they grabbed a pair of scissors and cut it off right there on the court.
Salt Bae, who is Turkish, made a random appearance to celebrate with the Fenerbahçe players.
