Real Madrid Tried To Join The NBA And Start A European Conference... Wait, What The Hell?

“In basketball we play many insignificant games,” he said. “It’s better to play less, but better. We have explored the option of a European League and I have the dream of seeing Madrid in the NBA.

“I have asked us to be included in the Eastern Conference, but they say that’s far away.”

Alternatively, Perez suggested the creation of a European division of the NBA

I can’t stress this enough. This would be the dumbest fucking thing in the world. Stop trying to get crazy with expansion in all sports. Let’s think about what’s important here and that’s what times games are on for me to watch.

Now logically, of course it’s the dumbest thing in the world. You’re trying to tell me the Blazers would travel to Real Madrid for a game? It’s not like baseball where you can try to justify being somewhere for a series vs one game. But come on?

Now I will say, if it would have made Luka Doncic’s mom (yes, this is strictly a reason to remind everyone how much of a rocket she is) an icon earlier I’d be a little more convinced.

Also what happens if there are 3 conferences in the NBA? The playoffs make sense. West vs East. Boom. If you have 3 conferences, then what? I mean there’s already EuroLeague. Leave it as is.

If you want to add expansion teams make it Seattle and Louisville. Some would say I just solved it.
