"We are very proud about this kind of initiative, which is very attractive for our clubs and fans, confirms the globalization of basketball and reinforces the healthy relationship between Euroleague Basketball and the NBA," Euroleague Basketball CEO Jordi Bertomeu stated.
"These games continue our collaboration with Euroleague Basketball as we work together to grow the game of basketball globally," said David Stern, NBA Commissioner.

I remember a few years ago when we played Panathinaikos in the pre-season they had about 3 rows full of fans sitting right behind me. They were chanting and waiving their flags the entire game. It was actually pretty cool.
KBP tailgaiting ouzo and souvlaki hoping for a glimpse of his hero.
I really hope we demolish Olympiakos, otherwise we're going to have to put up with that asshat KBP for quite a while.
When the Spurs trained in Paris, they went on a 4 game barnstorming tour in Europe and destroyed the compe ion.
I bet the Clippers lose that game though.
I thought for sure the Spurs would play Partizan.
What makes you think a win or a loss will change things?
It is spelled Olympiacos not Olympiakos.
I am a PANATHINAIKOS fan.
Spanoulis does not even ing play on Olympiacos.
NBA fans are by far least knowledgeable sports fans in the world.
I am a fan of pussy
