Will you watch NBA Europe?
>>151844029>No Monaco>No Zalgiris>No Serbian teams>No Basque teams>Britbong teams when there is 0 basketball culture in the UK>Berlin and Lyon when Alba and Villeurbanne suck cock for years >Potentially only one Turkish team>Potentially only one of Panathinaikos/Olympiakos>fucking Rome
>>151844055this is a fake league like the parallel universe ones where aekaki plays like basketball champions league, trumpfags are gonna getBTFO just like all of dormps and joe rogiane's alternative social media escapades failed and legacy media won
>>151844029I'll just watch Olimpija vs Buducnost instead thanks.4vnmv
>>151844029No, I'm not gay or a minority.
>>151844029there are too many turkish and greek teams imho
Can't wait to watch the London Stabbers against the Munich 88ers.
No, but I'd watch MLB Europe
>>151844029Isn't there already a European league? (I dont follow basketball much)
>>151844029No
>>151844055That's the point. NBA is trying to grow basketball in places that don't have strong basketball cultures.
>>151844029What the fuck are we doing in this? Twice? I imagine whatever team in Vilnius or something would leave us looking like Kevin Nash on a sweaty early 90s summer night.
Seattle and Las Vegas not getting a team before this league is shit
>>151844029Will the players only be European?
>>151844029No Balkans? They are what most of us think of when we think of European basketball
>>151844029Turkey is not European and should not be included.
This is not a good idea
Why not? If the teams are better than the ones in Europe why would someone not want to see better teams playing?
>>151844861>NBA is trying to grow basketball in places that don't have strong basketball cultures.like literally everywhere except burgerland?
it'll be as big a hit as NFL Europe was, i'll wager
>>151844029I thought they already had Euroleage + several national leagues over there?Why can't the NBA make a U-18 summer leauge or expand the G-League here to BTFO the NCAA once and for all?
>>151845808Presumably all the players and coaches will be drafted Americans so it doesn't really matter how good the places are at basketball
>>151844055at the very least manchester couldve made way for belgradealso i dont think they will use existing teams, i think theyre after new teamsbecause it theyre planning on having only existing teams, 1 team only in istanbul or athens will cause riots
>>151849621>If the teams are better than the ones in Europe why would someone not want to see better teams playing?lol
>>151862605What are you implying?, that are not better? I don't know because I occasionally watch some NBA playoffs game and from Euroleague I don't remember the last time I watched a game.
>>151844029Wait, what is this?München and Berlin are the cities with the most successful basketball teams here. It would be much smarter to go to Hamburg and maybe Köln - large cities dominating respective regions and lacking basketball success. If they establish new teams, competing with Alba in Berlin and with Bayern in München will be tough. Much tougher than competing with the Towers in Hamburg and … whatever Köln has in KölnAlso, I don’t think there are that many people who are crazy for NBA-style basketball itself. And NBA Europe isn’t the NBA, so the big advantage isn’t there
>>151862755Yes, I'm saying that. It's a meme at this point for cocky NBA teams to come to Europe and get beaten up by the much 'inferior' european teams
>>151862755NBA definitely has the superior individual quality, but the way European teams play is arguably superior … and more attractive to watch in combination with FIBA rulesI think it would be dumb to say NBA isn’t the strongest league overall, but the gap isn’t that huge. And establishing some NBA-style league in Europe doesn’t mean anything for the quality of that project. The European leagues are already too strong and established to get swept away by a mediocre NBA copy that doesn’t have the insane star power of the original
>>151844055What's the point of fucking up the Balkan Leagues and Eastern Europeans who already have established brandsRome cause the Pope is American. But generally natural rivalries by two teams in each country (if you count Ottoman/Byzantine Borders) and not too much fucking with FIBA
