The president of LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne, Tony Parker is optimistic about a potential collaboration with the NBA as the league is actively working on an expansion to Europe. Earlier than focusing his post-playing profession on the French membership within the Turkish Airways EuroLeague, he turned a four-time NBA champion with the San Antonio Spurs. He talked about probably reconnecting with the league primarily based in North America in a current interview with RMC Sport. “While you see what the NBA is doing, they’re very robust. Whether or not it’s advertising and marketing or the brand new TV rights contract that may begin subsequent 12 months. We have to be related to that. I need there to be NBA Europe and for us to be a part of it,” he talked about. -via EuroHoops.net / January 21, 2025
