Gianni Petrucci makes an'assumption about the NBA

These were the words to’ANSA du Gianni Petrucci, president of Fip, on the phone with ANSA, responding on the news that may be in basketball in the near future.

"There's an idea, a project that is emerging and coming forward: the Nba wants to invest in Europe with its own teams that could face and play on the continent".

"All this, forò, if it materializes, it must be done under the aegis of Fiba – he added -. È undeniable that the Euroleague has the best teams, but I am for finding an agreement with the International Federation, with which we want to work peacefully”.

Also on the Fiba board is our secretary general Maurizio Bertea, so we are well represented in the European arena. We would like to see the development of this idea that è very interesting, it would be an extraordinary strategy and example. All the fascinating things are feasible, but it takes goodwill; and time" concluded Petrucci.
