The New Jersey Nets hope that they can be the "International Face of the NBA". The team will be playing the Toronto Raptors in London this weekend, but have already played overseas in China in the Preseason. Their Russian owner Mikhail Prokhorov has already set up a team website that can be viewed in Russian dialect. The NBA is looking to make moves on the Russian market in the off season which will help expand the international appeal of both the NBA and the Nets.
