The NBA commissioner showed a united spirit, Adam Silver, in an interview with the Italian newspaper “Corriere Dela Sera”, regarding the relationship with FIBA and the possibility of cooperation…
«We are at the beginning of the discussion, but I must say that we have been working with FIBA for many years in the “Basketball Without Borders” and finally in the Basketball African league, which is going to be further developed in the future.“, He commented characteristically.
On the contrary, when asked to talk about the Euroleague, the “strong man” of the top basketball league in the world, was more sparing, saying: “We had some pre season games in the previous years».
At the same time, referring to the discussion that has opened after a challenge from FIBA and personally of President Andreas Zaglis, on world basketball and the situation in Europe, Silver pointed out:
«We gladly accepted the invitation to sit at the same table. Our goal is not to conquer Europe, but what we want is for all of us to work together to develop the basketball ecosystem on the European continent. We look forward to resuming our meetings».
