The new NBA Europe channel will feature original and archived content, including current and former European player and Legend interviews, short-from features, unique behind-the-scenes access, highlights from NBA games played in Europe, Player Spotlights and more. The channel will launch with an exclusive conversation featuring four-time NBA Champion, Frenchman Tony Parker and Serbian actor and star of ‘Money Heist’ Darko Perić, himself a huge basketball fan.
