For years now, NBA has been coming to Europe for regular season games. However, 2012 was the only year when two games were played; in all the other years, only one game was played, at the O2 Arena in London, usually on a Thursday sometime in January.
I have been to every game in London and, without a doubt, it was a memorable experience. All the right stuff was there, starting from the arena - which is top notch - and finishing with the dancers (the teams even flew in their announcers, to mimic the perfect experience). I was fortunate enough to go to a game at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and saw no difference. My point is that the NBA got the quality so right, but the quantity is not quite there. The public in Europe is craving for more, there should be no question about that!
In 2020, the London game was cancelled and replaced with a game in Paris, between Charlotte and Milwaukee. While the encounter is extremely interesting nonetheless, we, the undersigned, believe it's too little. NBA enjoys a huge fan base in Europe, yet not enough is being done to satisfy demand. At least two games per year would be nothing but a super reasonable demand. NBA was a leader in exporting the game, yet it has fell behind, if you consider that the NFL is playing four or five games and NHL has also been hosting at least three regular season games in Europe in the last three years.
Let basketball fans in Europe enjoy the game, we want more live action!
