“After many years of sending our teams to the United States on the Euroleague Basketball World Tour, we are very excited about the opportunity for two of them to play each other there for the first time,” Jordi Bertomeu, Euroleague Basketball President and CEO, said. “Americans know their basketball, which is precisely why we are sure they will like what they see of the Euroleague’s unique style of play.
Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv and EA7 Emporio Armani Milan are two of the many Euroleague clubs that are steeped in history, but they also play the kind of basketball that we are sure will be to the liking of fans in Chicago and New York.”?Two European League basketball teams are competing at?United Center in?October.
