McDonald's Championship 99
Filaforum , MilanSpurs' seem set for Milan stroll
With less than three weeks to go before the world's finest club teams converge on the Filaforum in Milan for the 1999 McDonald's Championships, NBA Finals MVP Tim Duncan has already taken the chance to scout the host city on behalf of his San Antonio Spurs team mates.
Not that unfamiliarity wil be any excuse should the Spurs fail to continue a winning streak which has seen the NBA participants win every edition of the tournament since its inception in 1979.
With Euro League champions Zalgiris Kaunas looking a shadow of their powerful unit of last season, there seems little chance even of a competitive final for the Texans who will first face either Italian champions Varese or Lebanon's Asian champions CS Sagesse in the semi-finals.
Kaunas will take on either Brazil's South American representatives Vasco da Gama or Australia's Adelaide 36ers who meet in the tournament's opening match on Thursday October 14.
