    The National Basketball Association (NBA) will make basketball history when the league holds its first-ever regular-season games in Europe, NBA Commissioner David Stern announced today. The New Jersey Nets and Toronto Raptors will square off for back-to-back games at The O2 arena in London, England, on March 4 and 5 as part of NBA Games – London 2011. “The staging of our first regular-season games in Europe is a milestone for the NBA and the ongoing development of basketball in the region,” said Stern. “By bringing these two young and exciting teams to London, we are fulfilling our commitment to schedule a regular-season game in the UK prior to the 2012 Olympics -- a natural progression given the overwhelming response to the many friendlies we have played to sold-out crowds over the years.”

    Does this have to do with the Nets and Raptors being crappy teams?

    I'm surprised that any team would want to forfeit their HCA for even two regular season games.

    The teams probably will make a ton more playing overseas than they will for playing at home. Seriously, these 2 teams have nothing going for them. Well, the Nets have Lopez but that's about it.

    The NBA is not allowed in Greece because Kill_Bill_Pana would not allow it.

    Some Greek league > NBA

    Euroleague > NBA

    Maybe they'll crash on an island that will mysteriously heal guys like Barbosa and Calderon, allowing them to play a full season without injury for the first time ever. That's IF they can find a way OFF the island without getting killed by a smoke monster first...
