The commissioner of the NBA, Adam Silvergave a wildly exciting update on the possibility of expansion in an interview during the match broadcast Boston Celtics-New York Knicks this Monday night.
Silver he told Brian Scalabrine y Mike Gorman in the broadcast of the Celtics game that the NBA in fact it will expand once the new television contracts are completed.
“The Mexico City It’s easy in terms of, I mean, its high altitude, it’s 2,000 feet higher than Denver, so that affects the players a little bit, but it’s a shorter flight to Mexico City from New York than it is to Los Angeles, so… Nowadays, I think it would be amazing to expand into a market like City of Mexico“, said Silveraccording to Daly.
Silver mentioned also mentioned Vancouver y Montreal as possible locations, Smith said.
Vancouver was the home of the Grizzlies from NBA from 1995 to 2001 before moving to Memphis (the team name “Grizzlies” was kept). The Grizzlies they failed to generate large attendance and simply ran out of financial resources to keep the team in the Pacific Northwest.
Both the NFL as the NBA They have played several games in the City of Mexico. With a population of more than 20 million people, the Mexican capital would undoubtedly be a successful market for the NBA to expand into.
Montreal is the home of the Canadiens from NHL and previously had the Expos from Major League Baseballbefore the team moved to Washington in 2005. The city has pushed hard for a new MLB franchise, with the expansion team the only realistic hope.
