The NBA will never have a team outside of North America

Never, ever, ever, getting back together. But seriously, it will never happen. Players would have to agree to it in the CBA and that shit wouldn't get passed. Players love money, fame, and attention but they would hate the constant travel. I know the NBA says it cares but it should stick to its fans in North America. Besides, people in Europe love association football, not brothas playing hoops.

The only way I see it happening is if they reduce number of games teams play against each other tbh.

NBA should just launch a separate league in Europe or China. There's no point in making NBA players travel to Europe every other week.

It's the National Basketball Association. Having a team outside of the nation makes no sense. Then again, National Semiconductor has fabs overseas.

Bald man was talking earlier today about how he would like to have a division in Europe. I know he was trying to kiss ass in London and to the European fans but that is just bullshit. It's one thing to have 1 team outside of North America but a division would be a travesty. Like I said earlier, the players would never agree on this.

Too bad, The Afghani Stone Throwers had a nice ring to it

jet lag is a much bigger obstacle than the time itself spent on plane imho. If the NBA ever recruits a team outside of North America, it must be a team from South America or Central America because there's basically no time difference between US and other American countries, compared to those countries on the other side of the Atlantic ocean. And I don't think a flight from San Antonio to Buenos Aires would take much longer time than one from LA to Miami.
