Interesting connection between the halcyon days of NBL and the attention Jordan brought to basketball worldwide. Obviously, the NBL has to get its product right, but I think the return of great FTA NBA coverage on ONE needs to be exploited by the NBL. If teenagers all over the country aren't tuning in and being blown away by NBA on ONE, I'm a Lakers fan.

Once you're hooked on the NBA, but can't get to a game, the next thing you are going to want to do is go see a live NBL game! BA should do everything it can to attract NBA teams/ players to Australia for games or other promotions. Someone needs to be thinking how we can get Bogut, Brown, Mills, Jawai and Anderson in Europe working their contacts in the off-season to get whoever they can out here. Imagine if we could the Bucks out here to play either Mills team (once he hopefully gets drafted) or Anderson's Euro outfit? Ogilvy's NCAA team (Vanderbilt?) would be great too. So many opportunities for someone who knows how to make these things happen.

Nice to read something that wasnt all doom & gloom.

Maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
