The idea may still be at a very early stage, but it is real that the NBA’s desire to somehow expand to Europe, which has also been confirmed by official “lips”.
‘Basketnews’ citing its own sources and refers to the form that could have one European league under the aegis of Nba. If what this publication presents come true, it will be a … cosmogenic change in the “map” of European basketball!
Specifically, the leaders in the world’s top championship allegedly designing a league that includes very strong economic teams from large markets. Indeed, in the original plan that has been discussed so far, the Greek teams have no place, despite their very warm audience. The same is true for Serbia, Turkey.
NBA’s first goal, of course, is the Real Madridwhich is still hesitant to renew its cooperation with the Euroleague, leaving the door open for a possible switch to the NBA European League. At the same time, as this report points out, if the Madrilenes “cross the Rubicon”, then it is very likely that the same is that the same opponent, Barcelona.
Beyond that, the NBA will target the ‘French’ market, and in particular Villerbanlegendary group of legend, Parker Tonywhich is expected to perform a key role in this project. But the most striking of what Basketnews says is that in the NBA they think not only the building of a league with the existing teams, but also the creation of new clubs in strong markets!
In detail, it is alleged that there is an intention to “regenerate” its basketball department Paris Saint -Germainbut also to create its equivalent Manchester City! Obviously, here are the influences from the Arab world, as the Parisians are controlled by Qatar and the “citizens” by the United Arab Emirates.
In general, the plan discussed is a league 10 groupswith emphasis on ticket revenue and rights. To create this championship, NBA profits could be used by the new television rights deal, which would get “flesh and bones” from the 2025-26 And it will bring about $ 76 billion in the league.
