I could see this happening, but you do have to see the overall picture. Basketball is not the #1 sport in the world. Soccer would be the overall dominate with the majority of countries. With LeBron and whoever else going over seas to get paid and spread the NBA game over there, who knows what could be said about basketball world wide then. Plus David Stern has made it clear that there is a goal to push the NBA into Europe and maybe one day having a Euro division or at least a team. I like the idea, if it meant keeping our stars in our league. I don't mind waking up early or staying up late to watch my fav players play. But I think it would be hard to get European teams to agree to it most likely.
