The NBA is back in France at the Accor Arena in Paris on Thursday, January 11, for the third edition of the “NBA Paris Game”, introduced in 2020 and revived last year. This relocated match will see the Cleveland Cavaliers face off against the Brooklyn Nets in front of excited French fans who are thrilled not to have to stay up late or wake up early for the game.
For them, the NBA game always leads to an all-nighter, but the NBA Paris Game will be at a reasonable time for the European audience. Fans are eager for this opportunity to enjoy the game during an earlier hour since most games typically take place late at night due to the time difference between the US and Europe.
There is no denying that the NBA has created a dedicated following in France, with the organization regularly scheduling games to accommodate its European audience.
One such fan is Thomas, who, despite the time difference, stays committed to following NBA games, especially those of his beloved San Antonio Spurs. This dedication is shared by many fans, and with the rise of social media, fans are able to connect and interact while watching the games.
The NBA is not just a sporting event – it’s a show. The league serves as the greatest sports reality show in the world, according to Bastien Fontanieu, co-founder of TrashTalk. With its drama and excitement, the NBA games keep fans engaged, and the experience is enhanced when watching live.
Fans who dedicate their time to follow NBA games stay committed and disciplined to maintain their health. For some, living at night is not feasible due to various personal and professional commitments. However, for those who can attend the NBA Paris Game, it will be a chance to celebrate their passion for the sport without the constraints of time.
