Serbia, France, Spain etc coming to Australia

I can't believe my first reaction is this but would anyone like to see say a Serbia play Australia and whilst they are down this way also play in New Zealand, as they are most definitely a competent enough squad that Serbia can test out combos and plays and other things and get feedback if they get stopped ie can't say that about Chinese Taipei and I think Tall Blacks are a good team

Would be great if BA can start some kind of invitational that takes place in Australia before the world cup every 4 years. Get all the best teams here to warm up.

Agreed re: selling point but since we are on a basketball forum it's jarring at times to see the same "OMG NBA players!!11" reaction from those you would think would know better.

Anyway back to this news -- this kills two birds with one stone. We finally for the first time since that Tang Super Series vs. Soviet Union in the 80s get Boomers vs. quality Euro teams, plus Argentina and USA. Plus it is the best warmup you could possibly have playing these teams before the World Cup. AND in effect with so many games down under it's like we are hosting a de facto World Cup. Hopefully down the track we actually host the real thing but for now this is the best you could possibly hope for. Exciting times!

It's not all about NBA, come on.

These are quality teams, their Euro-based players are good too. Eurobasket down under!
