    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The NBA will return for its second year of NBA Europe Live presented by EA SPORTS? this Fall when the Boston Celtics , Memphis Grizzlies , Minnesota Timberwolves and Toronto Raptors will conduct training camps and play exhibition games in six European cites in four countries, it was announced today by NBA Commissioner David Stern.

    The 2007 NBA Europe Live presented by EA SPORTS? will mark a series of firsts in the NBA?s 19-year history of conducting games in Europe. The Boston Celtics and the Minnesota Timberwolves will play in the first basketball game in the O2, London?s new state of the art NBA style arena.

    In addition, the NBA will conduct its first game played in Turkey. The event will also feature the first time two NBA teams have competed against one another in Rome.</div>
    I think that's awesome for the players. Not everyone gets a chance to go over to Europe in their lifetime, so this should be a great experience for the guys. From a selfish standpoint, I'll say this: I just hope we get our usual amount of coverage on the team throughout camp.

    As long as this doesn't hinder the amount of coverage, like you said, I'll be ok with it. Maybe they can play a few foreign teams in the preseason? That'd be pretty cool.
