I heard about this possibility a few years back about having NBA teams in Europe as part of a regular NBA season. David Stern was talking about this one day being possible. Teams would be traveling overseas throughout the season. Talk about about season jetlag. this would do it. NBA players would probably retire sooner because their bodyclock would be messed up. Jabber your scoring record is secure,lol.

The travel schedule would be worse for both sides. the nba could possibly shorten the games in a season if this did happen. money wise is would be good.

even if money wise I think our teams need to stay home and play here!

I could see this becoming a reality. It would be a difficult beginning but in the long run you would be looking at a European division and possibly other divisions. The question is how soon could this "global" version of the NBA become a reality.
