There are a number of big basketball fans in the Arsenal squad - but what many people might not know is that Arsene Wenger is one of them.
The manager enjoys watching the NBA, and says that he was first attracted to it when some of his compatriots joined the league.
“I like team play, so [I watch] basketball because we have as well many French players who go and play in the NBA,” he said.
“So I follow as well the French players. I like Tony Parker and before him Michael Jordan of course.
“I think Tony Parker opened the way for many French players to join the league.”
