Daniel Eade's little anti NBL crusade continues

I don't agree that our local legends would feel insulted but the hype surrounding the current batch of imports has been a bit overblown and the truth stretched. Sure, if I worked for the NBL or one of the clubs, I'd be trying to build these guys up to. It helps get people to games and increase TV numbers which are all good things. The article doesn't try to take away the accomplishments of these players, it actually provides facts of the NBA experience for each player. The fact is that Sam Young is the only guy of the 3 to play in an NBA game. Yet, we constantly here about all thee guys as being "from the NBA".

Yes, Eade has written some pretty negative articles on the NBL in the past that I haven't agreed with. The problem is that whenever he writes anything now everybody just wants to jump up and down and scream rather than reading it with a level head. I actually agree with most of the article
