Flights too long to the middle east.

Players ain't gonna wanna go there and play back to backs. That flight would have nikkas bodies fukked up especially if they already hurt

They DEFINITELY not gonna wanna move their wives/daughters/mother's out to the middle east either too much fukkery afoot.

More eyes on the NBA and basketball. Keep saying it, as well as others, but this sport demographically/culturally will look so much different the next decade or so.

I don't want this.

If they mean an NBA affiliate league in the Middle East, ok, but there will not be an NBA team in the Middle East. Be for real

It’s a 14 hour flight from NY to the UAE they won’t even add European teams in the NBA and those flights are half the length.
