This petition was made to hopefully gather as many signatures as it can and to be spread around as much as possible in hopes that the NBA takes notice and brings a preseason game to Australia. This has been long overdue, not only are Australian notorious for their love of sports but the sport of basketball itself has been fairly popular for years, especially as of late with bright young players in Matthew Dellavedova and Dante Exum soon to join the NBA where Andrew Bogut, Patrick Mills, Aaron Baynes and Melbourne born Kyrie Irving are waiting.

Whatever the city, whatever the cost, whatever the team, this would be great for the huge amounts of Aussie basketball fans who have been waiting to see an NBA game.
