“Yas Island” lol. Right off the coast of Queen Peninsula.
Ah yes, just the market needed to promote this global game. /s
I don’t want to be pessimistic but teams usually get off to slow starts to the season after they fly across the world during preseason
Ant is going to love it there… LMAO
Basically going to lose a week of practice. NBA is so dumb with their bullshit marketing. Just let teams practice and get some cohesion as opposed to bad marketing bs.
I will be there
Well shit. More accessible for me than getting to Minnesota.
Still gonna cost a bomb. Worth it? Debatable
I think this sounds stupid. These places rely on slave labor to exist. Hard no.
Y tho
21 hour flight
“#SportsWashing”
Gross
The team released a video on socials in regards to this and Naz Reid partook. All the confirmation I need he’s coming back.
I guess they were impressed by Ant’s controversial video…*ducks*
Also is this the NBAs version of Garfield sending Nermal to Abu Dhabi to get rid of her?
Why play games in that shit place? We have to stop doing business with rogue nations.
This will only be cool if we get a special jersey out of it
What is the difference between Abu Dhabi and Dubai? People in Dubai don’t watch the Flintstones and people in Abu Dhabi do. -dad
