Gianni Petrucci opens the doors of the Nba Europe project in Milan and Rome

Gianni Petrucci in an interview with Il Messaggero spoke about the Nba Europe project: “Now it is done. In fact, I would say it’s official. The commissioner NBA Adam Silver said it months ago, FIBA top brass confirmed it to me the other day. A 16-team league, some fixed and some entering on sporting merit: the obligation to participate in their own championships and players available for the national teams. With all the big capitals of Europe. So also with Rome, in Italy, in addition to Milan”

.

“This project involving Europe confirms the importance of our sport. And starting with the big soccer teams: Manchester, London, Paris with PSG that has confirmed its interest, Munich with Bayern, Istanbul, Athens, Madrid and maybe even Barcelona” will be involved.

“Certainly Rome and Milan are the only two Italian cities that are part of the project. It also appears to me that in Milan, for some time, many things have been moving, perhaps around the names you mentioned (Olimpia, Milan and Inter, ndr). But even in Rome we have great entrepreneurs, there is concrete interest. In Rome behind Virtus, Luis and Stella EBK there are solid properties, the landing of the NBA is seen as an opportunity”, he concluded.
