what is the NBDL?

National Basketbal Development League...You haven't heard of it? A lot of players/coaches go to that when teams drop them...They even have commercials for it...LOL
--- End quote ---
so it's like a minor league for the NBA?
I'm interested to see if the ABA will become more popular with all these new teams. I'm a buy a Vancouver jersey as soon as the get a team name, lol. They'll probably call them the dragons or something.

Yea...ABA and NBDL are basically the same idea...Dennis Rodman was on an ABA team last year (the Long Beach Jam) along with Jannero Pargo (after the Lakers dropped him)...Matt Barnes (now with the Clippers) was on an NBDL team last year as well...They're just leagues for people who aren't good enough to play in the NBA...LOL

NIK, I know you're a big basketball buff so lemme ask you:
From what I understand the ABA and the NBA were started at the same time, and the ABA was initially the bigger organization, do you think the ABA will ever become big again?
And what do you think about the Vancouver team being made up primarily of Chinese players? I think that's damn wierd. I mean we have a HUGE number of Chinese people here, but still.

The ABA will never get as big as it once was...It will always be a secondary league for people who can't make the NBA; there's no doubting that...Will it become better? Yes, eventually. It will probably be the second best basketball league, and I'm willing to bet a lot of players will be selected to play on NBA teams from the ABA in the future...I think the reason the Vancouver team will be made primarily of Chinese players is because a lot of international players (especially Chinese, now more than ever) want to play in the NBA, but don't get drafted. It's hard to send scouts all around the world to look for players. So they're probably playing in the ABA to gain some American recognition. Then they can make the transition to the NBA once they make a name for themselves...PeACe
