NBA and Europe
no one gives a fuuk

I wasnt offended or anything lol but I was actually kind of shocked, I thought people followed it more so then Americans that follow EPL or Champions league etc. I was in England, France and Holland and didnt even see one score even on Eurosport which is the main sports channel on tv in all 3 countries.

I even thought they knew about MLB but that was laughable after seeing how no one cared about basketball.

I thought Kobe , Lebron , Tony Parker and Dirk Nowiztki were world stars. Maybe in Asia they care

but the nba games do sell out when teams play in europe...but probably could be seen as an event rather than being knowledgeable about the product and even caring about it
