Jorge Garbajosa: ‘The NBA is coming to Europe and it will do so with FIBA’

There is a lot of talk about the possible creation of a tournament sponsored by the NBA with the help of FIBA. What can you say? Jorge Garbajosa: I am convinced that there is because Mr. Silver, from the NBA, does not just talk for the sake of talking. And they said it because it is true, because they believe that there is a clear opportunity in Europe. With a great product, with great teams, with brands like Real Madrid, Panathinaikos or Fenerbahçe, non-sustainability is a threat. What is not sustained disappears. With a large mass of fans, with public and private support, with a great tradition, why are we not making this more attractive and commercial? NBA has detected a weakness and has decided to come. We don’t know how or when, but it will come. We are waiting. We are proud that they have said that anything they organize in Europe will be in the hands of FIBA. NBA considers FIBA’s reputation to be of the highest level. They believe in FIBA.
