Chelsea stars Cech, Drogba roaring on New Jersey Jets for NBA in Europe

Chelsea stars Petr Cech and Didier Drogba are excited about the NBA taking their season to Europe.

The Blues duo pulled on New Jersey Nets shirts to talk basketball ahead of next month's first-ever NBA regular season games in Europe.

Keeper Cech, 28, said: "I am a pretty big fan of basketball because I played as a kid at school and really enjoyed it.

"I started watching basketball mainly because of Michael Jordan who was my favourite player and then got involved more because of him.

"I will be supporting New Jersey, definitely."

Like Cech, Drogba loved watching Jordan during his days as the top man at the Chicago Bulls.

The striker added: "I am a big basketball fan, I used to follow the NBA games when Jordan was on fire.

"I like the way New Jersey are playing at the moment, so I would go for them over Toronto."
