One of the more interesting statements by Commissioner Stern concerned NBA franchises in Europe. While not as dramatic as John Kennedy promising to put a man on the moon by the end of the 1960s, Commissioner Stern noted that if the game continues to prosper, NBA teams may be taking road trips to Europe.
" I think that realistically, if there are new buildings in Europe and if our sport continues to grow, there is a good possibility that there would be NBA franchises in Europe by the end of the decade," Stern said.
Can´t wait ´til that first New York Knicks-Paris Chevaliers matchup.
