Raptors and Nets prepare for landmark London visit

The Toronto Raptors and New Jersey Nets will take part in the first regular-season NBA games to be played in Europe at the O2 Arena in London on March 4th and 5th.

The back-to-back games represent a groundbreaking move for the NBA, which hopes to achieve similar success to that of the recent NFL games at Wembley.

Basketball is sure to be one of the most popular events at the 2012 Olympics, and this event will only add to the surge of interest. Even other sportsmen have been getting involved. Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas is backing the Raptors while Chelsea stars Petr cech and Didier Drogba will be cheering for the Nets.

Tickets for both matches are available now with prices starting at £12.
