European player doesn't want European expansion

David Stern after speaking with commissioner clear indicates that the League's plans to expand on this side of the Atlantic, Polish centre Marcin Gortat of the Orlando Magic hit out at the idea.

He said: "That's impossible. In my opinion, that's impossible. That's just too much travel. I would just want it just to stay the way it is right now."

The prospect of playing at least a portion of the season closer to home doesn't appeal to at least one European NBA player.

And in comments that may end up costing him a few dollars/euro/zloty he said Stern wants to "control the whole world" and that expanding to Europe could hurt the NBA's standing as "the best league on earth."
