During a video on his personal YouTube channel Russell detailed that he wants to follow the example of other NBA players, who had associations in China and even exceed their legacy.

"For me, I think what Stephon Marbury did was something that I really want to try to inspire, to be and if not even better, you know, and treat people right on the way, you know, and I think that'll leave my legacy behind in a way that I could never even imagine," he said.

"I thought it was just make it get paid to do it. And now I see it's bigger and it's more inspiring to the next group. You know, there's basketball everywhere. There's opportunity everywhere. You just got to open your eyes and be willing to take what you want. I'm trying to be the biggest ever, bro. Still got a lot of game left in the tank."

Valencia Basket, Paris Basketball, Dubai Basketball and PAOK Thessaloniki are reportedly set to become the first four clubs approved as new EuroLeague franchises. According to Encestando, the announcement could come in early November, with the four clubs paying around €300 million in total entry fees.

Valencia and Paris would reportedly pay around €50 million each, Dubai €70 million and PAOK as much as €130 million. The fees could be paid in installments, with the first payment expected in December following final approval. The move would be part of EuroLeague’s long-term plan to generate around €1.2 billion from incoming franchises.

Partizan and Virtus Bologna are also said to have advanced talks, although their financial situations could delay admission. Crvena Zvezda and Hapoel Tel Aviv remain among the leading candidates for a later wave, while Napoli, the two newly created Rome clubs, London Lions, Hapoel Jerusalem and Aris have also reportedly submitted bids.
