“ We have a close relationship with AEG, which built the O2 is Silver explained during his traditional press conference preceding the match played Britain, But the next step in the near future is to play more regular-season games in Europe, even if it is logistically complicated. Paris is a market that interests us very much, our teams love going there, and they come to expand and renovate Bercy. Work that was conducted by … AEG. I just met the director of their division Europe today and we discussed. We will look at that very closely. “
The NBA has instead taken a step backward on the assumption repeatedly proposed to create a franchise or a division in Europe. “ We are not actively working on expansion. This is something that we studied. But this is not the time. Especially with the current project in the Euroleague, which will launch its new competition. The best way to establish our presence in Europe today remains the annual event, as well as working with our development by going out to meet the fans to the base, to constantly improve the attractiveness of our sport. “
