Andrea Bargnani: I didn't even know what the NBA draft was. And playing in the playing in the NBA when I was eight, nine, 10 years old was an unreachable dream. You were not even allowed to dream to play in the NBA when I was eight, nine, 10 because nobody was going from Italy to become an important player in the NBA. It never happened. I was dreaming about playing in Barcelona, playing in Real Madrid, in Panathinaikos, because that was my dream when I was growing up. So to answer your question, I didn't really feel the pressure of being number one.

It also seemed that this project would be solely developed by FIBA and the NBA. "If the NBA comes to Europe, it will only be with FIBA," said FIBA Board member Darius Gudelis. However, Zagklis confirmed that the EuroLeague is also involved in these discussions. "We sat at the table all three [FIBA, EuroLeague, NBA]—and that is our job: to bring everyone to the table," Zagklis said. "Where this ends up, I cannot tell you because we are still in the process." "But the atmosphere is correct for a professional [dialogue], and then we need to see the next steps in this process. I would definitely stay to that, because anything more concrete that I give you is now perhaps immature—not only for announcement, but immature even for decision," he added.
