American basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal and French football star Thierry Henry stressed that the NBA's arrival in Abu Dhabi will hold two NBA preliminaries between the Atlanta Hawks and the Milwaukee Bucks, the 2021 NBA champion, on Thursday and Saturday, the sixth and eighth of Next October, at Al Ittihad Arena on Yas Island, for the first time in the UAE and the Arabian Gulf in general, is a great achievement for the tournament.

Henry asked former basketball star Shaquille O'Neal through a television interview, saying: "As it became known, there will be some preliminary matches for the new season in Abu Dhabi, there is no doubt that the region is witnessing continuous growth, as it attracts the most prominent events such as Formula 1, the Club World Cup that I experienced myself. How do you think this hosting will affect the league and the region?”

O'Neill replied, "There is no doubt that the matches will contribute to the support of the National Basketball Association, which has been seeking for many years to strengthen its presence globally, especially since eight or nine of the top 20 players in basketball are international players.

Therefore, I see her arrival in Abu Dhabi as a great achievement.

Although we haven't visited it before, I see all the visuals and technology of the iconic destination and consider it a great move for the NBA.

I am looking forward to being there.”

It is noteworthy that the NBA has appointed Shaquille O'Neal as an official ambassador for its matches in "Abu Dhabi 2022."
