Of course, the main ingredient of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague's renowned basketball passion is the fans themselves, and they are out in force before Sunday's title game at Zalgirio Arena in Kaunas.
In sheer numbers, the championship game is set to tilt in the direction of a home game for Olympiacos Piraeus, whose fans have come from far and wide with an estimated 8,000 supports decked out in the team's cherry-red colors.
The Olympiacos hordes were gathered in central Kaunas early in the afternoon to make their way together to Zalgirio Arena, but they were already in full voice singing their songs and chants for the basketball lovers in town for the Final Four to enjoy.
