Present in Bologna to mark the 100 days before the start of 2025 FIBA EuroBasket Women, which will be played in the Italian city as well, Jorge Garbajosa spoke in the press conference to comment on the potential upcoming project involving the NBA in Europe.
FIBA Europe president indeed confirmed ongoing conversations and also the new contacts with EuroLeague, revealed by Eurohoops.
“March will be a very important month. The Bureau of FIBA Europe confirmed the mandate to keep talking with the NBA and EuroLeague Basketball. We have scheduled the FIBA Executive Committee agenda and a meeting with the owners of NBA franchises,” Garbajosa commented.
“At the moment, everything or nothing can change. We want to keep talking with all possible interlocutors and find a unified solution for the collective good of basketball. This state of disagreement makes everyone unhappy. We must grow together,” he added.
At the same time, Jorge Garbajosa was assured of the safety of domestic leagues. “National leagues must continue to exist, as they are the basis: without the league, there are no national teams, domestic cups, international competitions, and so on,” he commented.
