US President Donald Trump announced that India will have access to another world-class product - (National Basketball Association) NBA basketball next week.

"And very soon India will have access to another world-class American product, NBA basketball. Wow, that sounds good."

"Next week thousands of people will gather in Mumbai to watch the first-ever NBA basketball game in India," he said at the NRG Stadium during the Howdy Modi event before a 50,000 strong Indian American crowd.

He then smilingly asked, "Am I invited Mr. PM. Haha. I may come, be careful, I may come," he said, in a jovial manner.

The NBA announced in December 2018 that the Indiana Pacers and Sacramento Kings will play in two preseason games on October 4 and 5 in Mumbai.
