Jordi Fernandez, the spanish coach of the Brooklyn Nets, explained what he thinks about NBA’s last project, the “NBA European League”. These are his observation:

“The identity of European basketball is very important, just as the identity of basketball is here. It’s something that can’t be lost. Both styles of basketball are excellent, and maintaining them is important, but also evolving them and doing new things. The ideal scenario is with everyone sitting at the table and creating what’s best for the fans. Let everyone sit at the table, and together we can create the best possible league for the benefit of the fans, so they can see a better product than the one we have now.”
