MUMBAI - Basketball can become as popular in India as it is in neighboring China and bringing pre-season games to Mumbai can prove a timely catalyst, a top NBA executive has told Reuters.
On Friday, Indiana Pacers and Sacramento Kings faced off in Mumbai in the first of the two pre-season games in India. Since 2004, 17 NBA teams have played 26 games in Beijing, Guangzhou, Macao, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Taipei and LeBron James’ Los Angeles Lakers will play a pair of exhibition games against the Brooklyn Nets in China this month.
“There is no doubt that the presence of Yao helped accelerate our interest in the game of basketball there,” said Tatum, who is also the chief operating office of the NBA.
