Does that mean two NBA teams going across the pond to play each other in front of redcoats? Or does it mean a London based NBA team? If it's a London based team, they should be the England Lobsterbacks.

I don't like it. Two teams traveling that far to expose the NBA? Send the broadcasts not the players. I hope I never live too see our present U.S. NBA teams commuting to foreign countries for league play. How ridiculous. Give them their own leagues and players, and let their champions come over or we go there for a playoff at best.

Seriously, there are no games broadcast in the UK beyond the occasional late night replay. It seems like the NBA should take some initiative to get their games on British Television.

From a marketing standpoint I see what they're trying to do, but that doesn't mean I have to like it! It's not the WBA (World basketball association), it's the NBA. I just don't think our teams should travel way over there to play ONE game. That's a large controversy. Which team has to sacrifice a "Home" game to play there. Which team has so suffer the jet lag that could set them back for a while with a busy NBA schedule. It's just dumb.
