NBA aiming to set up in Europe
The NBA is weighing up a plan to create up to five European teams to play in their league, U.S. media reported on Wednesday. Sports Illustrated's Web site SI.com (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com) said they had been told by a source that NBA commissioner David Stern will announce the proposal at a news conference on Saturday. A spokesman for the NBA told Reuters that the idea had been circulating within the organisation but could not confirm details. "We have been talking about this for some time as a possibility or as one of many scenarios," he said. According to SI.com, the idea is to create five new teams in large markets to create a fully-fledged European division within the NBA. The teams would participate in the entire 82-game schedule and compete for the title as any other team would.
