The president of LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne, Tony Parker is optimistic about a potential collaboration with the NBA as the league is actively working on an expansion to Europe. Before focusing his post-playing career on the French club in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, he became a four-time NBA champion with the San Antonio Spurs. He talked about potentially reconnecting with the league based in North America in a recent interview with RMC Sport. “When you see what the NBA is doing, they are very strong. Whether it is marketing or the new TV rights contract that will start next year. We need to be associated with that. I want there to be NBA Europe and for us to be part of it,” he mentioned. -via EuroHoops.net / January 21, 2025
