Magic, Grizzlies to play in Berlin and London this season. More games coming to Manchester and Paris
LONDON (AP) — The NBA will play at least six regular-season games in Europe over the next three seasons, starting with a pair of games between the Memphis Grizzlies and Orlando Magic this season. The Grizzlies and Magic will play in Berlin on Jan. 15, then in London on Jan. 18. The league will play games at Manchester, England and Paris in the 2026-27 season, then return to Berlin and Paris for games in the 2027-28 season. The games will be held at Berlin's Uber Arena, London's The O2, Manchester's Co-op Live and Paris' Accor Arena. 'Announcing the next three season's regular-season games in Europe reflects the incredible momentum and appetite for NBA basketball in France, Germany, the UK and across the region,' said George Aivazoglou, the NBA's managing director for Europe and the Middle East. 'We look forward to welcoming the Grizzlies and the Magic to Berlin and London and to engaging fans, players and the local communities through the games and the surrounding events.' The Berlin game in January will be the NBA's 14th in Germany since 1984, but the first regular-season game in the country — and will serve as a homecoming for Magic players Franz and Moritz Wagner, both of whom play for Germany's national team. The London game this season will be the 10th regular-season contest in that city. Manchester has never played host to a regular-season game, and Paris has been the site of five regular-season contests — including two last season between the Indiana Pacers and San Antonio Spurs. French star Victor Wembanyama plays for the Spurs, which made them a logical choice to go to Paris for last season's series of games. The full NBA schedule for this season is expected to be released in mid-August. The dates and participating teams for the games in 2027 and 2028 will be announced prior to the 2026-27 and 2027-28 NBA seasons, respectively. ___ AP NBA:

"That's the stupidest question I ever heard" - Tim Duncan on why he cringes when people say winning rings isn't the most important thing
"That's the stupidest question I ever heard" - Tim Duncan on why he cringes when people say winning rings isn't the most important thing originally appeared on Basketball Network. There was a moment in 2003 when Tim Duncan sat in front of the media, having just added another title to his name, and couldn't quite believe the question he was being asked. He had won twice, was only getting better, and had just reached the top of the mountain again. Yet somehow, the question wasn't about the climb or what it took to get there. It was about what came next, as if winning a second championship created a new kind of doubt. 'People say, 'You've done this once, you've won twice, what else do you have left to do?' That's the stupidest question I ever heard,' Duncan said. 'To do it over and over again — you can't beat that. Every time that you don't win it, it's more disappointing.' That response came from a place most players don't talk about publicly. Once you've experienced what it takes to win a championship and gone through the physical and mental strain of that pursuit, the idea that anyone would casually ask what more there is to accomplish completely misses the point for players of Duncan's ilk. Earlier in the same exchange, Duncan had been asked whether winning a title felt like everything it was supposed to be. He nodded and said yes, but then caught himself and tried to clarify. 'Yeah, it is, but it's a little miscon … skewed? Mis … con...?' He knew what it meant to him. He just didn't know how to describe it in a way that would land with people who hadn't felt it for themselves. The drive to win didn't come from outside pressure Duncan never seemed concerned with legacy talk. He never leaned into drama or public arguments about who deserved what kind of credit. Heck, he doesn't even come out in public. He showed up, did the work, and expected the same from everyone around him. What pushed him through each season was the simple, brutal understanding that anything short of winning the whole thing wasn't going to sit right. That mindset didn't need to be explained inside the San Antonio Spurs locker room. Everyone there knew what it was. If you had been through a title run with Duncan, you understood what he demanded from himself and how little patience he had for half-measures. He treated winning titles like proof that everything he had put into the season had actually counted for something. So it struck a nerve when people started asking questions that suggested the pursuit might be complete after two rings. If winning had already shown him what the top looked like, why would he ever stop trying to get back there? The ring debate today would frustrate him even more The idea that championships should matter less in evaluating greatness has become a regular talking point in modern basketball debates. There's a steady stream of commentary online (we're looking at you, LeBron) about how titles depend on team situations, how the focus on rings distorts the appreciation of individual skill, and how context often gets buried under championship counts. The conversation has shifted into a space where fans feel the need to push back against what's now called 'ring culture.' However, the contrast becomes obvious if you revisit what Duncan said over 20 years ago. Every year he fell short, he felt it. Because he knew how good winning felt and what had been lost when it didn't happen. When you know what winning a championship means, and when you've done it more than once, the drive only sharpens. And hearing someone downplay that? That's the part that always sat wrong with the ol' story was originally reported by Basketball Network on Jul 29, 2025, where it first appeared.
