Silver eyes Europe All-Star Game

NBA commissioner Adam Silver likes the idea of playing a future NBA All-Star Game in Europe, but emphasized on Saturday such a move was at least five years away.

On the eve of the 65th NBA All-Star Game in Toronto, the first to be staged beyond US borders, Silver said the extra distance to Asia compared to Europe would have him looking across the Atlantic Ocean for an overseas host rather than the Pacific.

"It's something we would love to do one day," Silver said. "It's not going to happen in the next two, three, four years but it's something that down the road could be really exciting for the NBA.
