David Stern believes that NBA stars will stay in the U.S.

David Stern recently merely out in the media, but this time did not refer (only) the possibility of expanding the NBA into Europe.

"I guess if we in Europe want to induce NBA players at salaries that are clearly beyond the budgets NBA to play on a computer that at best going to see 1,000 or 5,000 spectators, are free to do so and will be one or two players who have a great benefit for it, "said David Stern, referring, for example, Josh Childress, who charged $ 20 million for 3 years without taxes.

However, David Stern, speaking of deals that Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony would ensure "at least listen" if coming from Europe and around 40 million dollars without taxes, argues that "simply, the system can not hold with the European audience.

As always, David Stern had words for the future of the NBA in Europe. "Going into the Olympics in 2012, could play regular league games there. I do not know whether one, two, or more. "However, a possible AllStar on European soil would be difficult because of the media. The NBA has led to soil games Europe and Asia this summer despite the crisis that had the world over.

It seems that the future of the NBA in Europe is closer than ever.
