NBA game in Australia

If in the future there was an NBA game of some description what would be some of the things you would like to see?

2 musts for me are:

Go with an Australia vs the world like the Africa game. We should have 8 Aussies next year in the NBA and could easily fill up the roster with other top talents.

Do it at Etihad

This could even turn into a world tour during the offseason. USA travelling to play Australia, Africa, Canada, South America, Europe all of which are reasonably represented.

Love to see it at Perth Arena. Would not be am empty seat in the house, and its probably the biggest for purpose basketball venue in Australia (Etihad is a lot of things, but its no good as a Basketball venue)

NBA games should stick with NBA teams playing e.g. Cavs vs Warriors, unless they call it an international exhibition, then would love to see AUS vs USA.

Another option I would love to see is a 3 team round robin possibly at Perth, Melbourne and Sydney. Would be looking at about 15,000, 15,000, 18,000 capacity which would probably be big enough.

So....just like the World Championships and the Olympics?

Sydney would be perfect, although there aren't many NBL fans here due to the Kings being shit, there are a lot of NBA fans and we'd most likely sell out allphones arena pretty quickly.

It could be a chance for the Kings/NBL advertised while also getting people in Sydney to watch basketball.

Although I don't see it happening any time soon...

I don't really know what "for purpose basketball venue" means, but either it isn't a purpose-built basketball stadium, or Rod Laver and Allphones are bigger stadiums that would suit basketball. Either way, whatever you were trying to say is not true.

Sydney Superdome 20K suitable for bball would be the venue.
