The NBA arrived in London on Thursday night as Toronto Raptors took on Orlando Magic and the crowd was full of Premier League talent.
Members from the Arsenal and Chelsea squads descended upon at the O2 Arena to watch the Raptors narrowly beat the Magic 106-103 in overtime.
There was also entertainment at the interval from former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba, who demonstrated that he’s just as capable with a basketball than he is with a football.
he Eastern-Conference match was the sixth NBA game to be held in London in the previous six years and there was a sell-out crowd. In fact, tickets were gone in under an hour - the quickest a basketball game has sold out in London.
Many players from Stamford Bridge were in attendance as Kurt Zouma, Asmir Begovic, Eden Hazard, Thibaut Coutois and Loic Remy gathered at the O2 alongside former Blue Michael Ballack.
