NBL beats NBA

I cant believe people are arguing which eague is better....its obviously the NBA

Hell.......bring the current Atlanta Hawks or Toronto or Charlotte Bobcats roster out here for one season and they will demolish any side in the NBL on any given night

The NBL need to use the NBA as a marketing tool. Basketball is basketball, If you get kids watching or playing ball NBA or NBL eventually that will turn into ticket sales. More Junior development at school level would help. I remember Mark Davis coming to our school in year 3 and I have been playing and watching ever since. I know me and my little mates nagged for weeks to go to a game after that experience.
I love bball and basically im gonna watch it as much as possible. basically for the NBL it all comes down to bums on seats and if you are charging $24 a ticket most casual fans will head to the footy, cricket, cafe or movies ect.
They should discount the last 1000 tickets at the door and sell the place out each game. once people experience I have no doubt they will consider season tickets. Selling tickets at that price will bring in numbers those will then buy drinks, food merchandise ect all money for the club.
I agree NBA is a better quality but you dont get the same atmosphere on espn as you do going to the games especially when its packed (thinking back a number of seasons).

With the merchandise Im gonna buy the NBA gear as I like it and it looks good. I have season tickets to the sixers but there is no way im gonna spend $70 for a adelaide singlet plus another 30 for the numbers. The singlets are nice but ugly to wear casually. champion definately got their sponsorship $$ with that deal. champion everywhere. The polo's look good.

All those true bball fans support both NBA & NBL there is plenty to go around.
