p.s. if my post above is overly negative, you can attribute that to my disappointment at the content of this thread.

When I read the title I thought it might be about Shaq or Yao Ming using the NBL to make their basketball comeback.

if the Jerseys were made by Nike, Jordan Brand, Mitchell & Ness or Adidas of similar quality to the NBA Jerseys they would be more popular.

Regarding the average increase in attendance, might this also have something to do with there being less teams then there were in 2008?

Brisbane, Singapore, South Dragons, Sydney Spirit/Razorbacks and Brisbane were all in the league in 2008. If you halve the amount of teams in a city (like happened in Sydney and Melbourne when the teams mentioned above left) won't the amount of people attending the remaining teams games rise?

Sure you'll lose a portion of the fans who were one-eyed supporters, but there will also be a lot of people who love basketball and will go to whichever team is still playing in their city. And it can be argued that the defunct Melb & Sydney teams weren't around long enough to grow a loyal following.

As for Facebook, I'd attribute that more to growth in the popularity of social media than the popularity of the NBL.

Its sad isnt it. none of us want to see this great game in this state. I still dream of the good old days of the tigers v magic at the tennis centre, the bullets v kings at either the kingdome or Boondal infront of 12,000. Oh how i wish my name was Marty Mcfly and drove a Delorean. 1992 here we come

In Today's Advertiser Boti said that Phil and Mal are meeting to make an agreement (to part).

It is very dissapointing the way he exited, but 9th and 11th are just not good enough, especially with the Sixers expectations.

With the free agents list out, Boti said the 36ers could go with..

C Schenscher/Cooper
F Ballinger/Mottram
F Holmes/Dodman?
G Hodge/Maher
G Williams/Davidson

He thinks that Ballinger will naturalise before the NBL season :S
