Greek media SDNA reports details of a potential seismic shift in European basketball set to happen in the continent and revolving around a more involved activism of the NBA in Europe.<\/p>\n
The “fight” between Euroleague and FIBA could end after the departure as CEO of Jordi Bertomeu – in the upcoming weeks – and his likely replacement with Dejan Bodiroga, with NBA Europe VP Jesus Bueno noted as a possible key member of the new Euroleague management. Such moves could be official as soon as tomorrow, as there will be a meeting between Euroleague shareholders. A key figure in NBA involvement in shaping the future of European basketball is deputy commissioner Mark Tatum, who has reportedly conducted several talks in recent months on the subject.<\/p>\n
SDNA also reports of a hypotetical new structure of European club competitions, with an expanded Euroleague – up to a maximum of 24 clubs with 46 regular season games – and the merge between Eurocup and BCL in a new competition run by FIBA and slated to “qualify” up to 6 teams to the top-tier competition. Such plans could happen soon, although there is also the possibility of a “transition year”.<\/p>\n
SDNA also foresees the potential involvement of new European competitions, alongside BAL and G-League, into a new Netflix-type streaming platform which would offer all the games worldwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
