Sports: SI.com - NBA - Stern indicates European expansion not in near future - Wednesday June 9, 2004 4:16AM: “The NBA won’t be expanding to Europe any time soon, commissioner David Stern indicated Tuesday at his annual NBA Finals news conference. ‘With respect to international expansion, it’s becoming clear to us that the infrastructure, meaning buildings, world-class arenas, are simply not there outside the United States yet,’ Stern said. ‘The fans in Europe have not been the beneficiaries of a building boom.’” Maybe European fans don’t like baskbetball as much as Americans do. Then again, I think basketball is pretty boring.
