The Toronto Raptors and New Jersey Nets will take part in the first regular-season NBA games to be played in Europe at the O2 Arena tonight, and then they play again tomorrow.
The back-to-back games represent a groundbreaking move for the NBA, which hopes to achieve similar success to that of the recent NFL games at Wembley.
Chelsea stars Petr cech and Didier Drogba will be cheering for the Nets while Arsenal’s Cesc Fabregas is backing the Raptors. The Raptors boast Spanish star Jose Calderon, whose $9million salary blows compatriot Fabregas’s pay out of the water.
Tickets for both matches are available now.
