London will be the hosts for the first ever NBA league game held in Europe.

LONDON, ENGLAND, February 01, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Basketball fans will be in for a treat in March, as the NBA game New Jersey Nets vs Toronto Raptors is set to be played at London's O2 venue.

To see this kind of sporting talent, enthusiasts would otherwise have to cross the Atlantic, but all the stars from both teams are being brought over to the UK for two matches on March 4th and 5th 2011.

What makes this occasion so special is that they are not exhibition games - they are part of the two sides' regular season.

It is the first time a league clash has been held in Europe, so any fans who head to the matches from their hotel in London will be a part of a historic moment in the sport.

As they are league games, people can expect both sides to be pumped up and showing all the passion and skill that the NBA is known for.

Among the big names that attendees from nearby accommodation such as The Bloomsbury Hotel London may be looking out for are Devin Harris of the Nets and Alexis Ajinca of the Raptors.

The action kicks off at 20:00 GMT on both nights, but people should be sure to get there earlier so they do not miss the pre-game atmosphere.

If sports fans have not reserved accommodation for their trip to London, they could use Hotels-London.co.uk to book a recommended location such as the Marlin Apartments London Bridge.
