Tony Parker: "The NBA will come to Europe no matter what!"

Tony Parker, four-time NBA champion with the San Antonio Spurs and strongman of the French team Villeurbanne, expressed his belief that the NBA will come to Europe.

Speaking to "L'Equipe", Parker revealed meetings with American funds for the financing of Villeurbanne, which is among the European teams that could join NBA Europe, if the effort by the NBA and FIBA ​​is implemented.

Parker stressed that the funds want him to continue to be involved with the French club for some time to come. He also stated categorically: "The NBA will come (to Europe) no matter what," adding that it is not certain that Villeurbanne will be part of it, as it will have to apply for a place in the new League.
