Tebas Warns of NBA's European League Impact: Financial Losses and Inequality Fears

LaLiga President Javier Tebas voiced strong concerns about the NBA's new European league, drawing parallels to the failed European Super League. Tebas fears this new model will exacerbate inequality and diminish competitiveness within the sport. A LaLiga-commissioned study projects a substantial 32% decrease in television revenue for first and second division clubs, amounting to €1.16 billion, if the NBA's plan is successful. This loss could rise to 45% if games are played on weekends. Tebas's comments highlight the potential ripple effects across sports, sparking debate about the future of European basketball and the financial implications for clubs.
