I wonder why the NBA needs to approve such a measure? Does AS Roma have an affiliated pro basketball team?
Or is this just a simple review by the NBA to ensure that this deal wouldn't be a "conflict of interest" case?
As it stands- I love the fact that two inner-city icons of one sport are venturing off into investing in another international sport.
The world is getting smaller, my friends.
