Tony Parker thinks it's important for European basketball that NBA, FIBA, and EuroLeague find an agreement for the future.
NBA Europe story is approaching reality as time passes by.
Owner of LDLC ASVEL-Villerbaunne Tony Parker is aware of that fact.
It's rumored that Parker would like to see his team in the new project ever since NBA Europe idea arrived, even though the club has an active A-license with EuroLeague.
Parker used his platform to share how important it is for European basketball that NBA and FIBA find an agreement with EuroLeague.
"I think it's a great idea," Parker told China Daily on Sunday while visiting Chengdu to promote a street basketball tournament in the Sichuan provincial capital.
"If the EuroLeague, the NBA and FIBA can find a way to work together to build a strong league. That will be amazing for European basketball."
"There is a lot of room for improvement (regarding the commercial operation of clubs in Europe now). I agree with that, at the end of the day, we are talking and we are trying to go in the right direction."
"For me, as an owner of a French club, having an agreement between the three (NBA, FIBA and EuroLeague) is the key to the success of European basketball. NBA Europe league for me is just a matter of time. They are coming, and it's going to happen," Parker clarifies.
