To be honest, I'm not even sure where the talks of expansion for the NBA came out from. Like, what was the context. Someone tweeted it, and then next thing I know it's on Team1040 radio and they're talking about it for a good 10-12 minutes on the radio. How serious, and how far long, I don't know. Probably not very. But it wouldn't surprise me that the NBA wants to make right what went so horribly wrong with Van as an NBA city. We are still considered the gateway to Asia.
Seattle's great, but do you know how much asian presence Vancouver has? You talk to anyone from China about Vancouver, and they instantly know where we are. The NBA can't not to have us back in.
