Since the press conference on March 27, when Adam Silver, the boss of the NBA, officially announced his project to create a league in Europe, all eyes were turned to the Euroleague Commercial Assets (ECA). The company that manages the Euroligue, the current, prestigious and renowned competition of basketball clubs on the old continent. A competition born in 2000 and which could be the main victim of the arrival of the NBA.
