The New 
York Knicks and Milwaukee Bucks are getting ready for their game when they face off in London on Thursday. It will be the last game of the 2014-15 NBA season that is played outside of the country.
The Global Games will come to an end for the season, but the NBA will still be working on its relationships and partnerships throughout the entire world.
Knicks star Carmelo Anthony joined Prince Harry for a special event hosted by the NBA Cares and Royal Foundation on Wednesday January 14th, the relationship between the two being announced back in December 2014 when the Royal Family visited the United States and attended the Brooklyn Nets vs. Cleveland Cavaliers game on December 8th.
