Financial difficulty, lack of interest and poor leadership. That are just some of the things wrong with the basketball league in Australia. So just how long will it take for this code to fall flat on its face?
Sydney Kings were formerly one of the competition’s heaviest hitters but in June of 2008 the club was stripped of its licence.
I think the NBA should scrap the league and start over.
You look at the NSL and how that was scrapped for the A league. The idea of running with less teams but more powerful teams worked well.
Basketball should do the same. Find someone with a strong financial backing, start the league with around six teams, and expand as the league gets stronger.
Most importantly, bring in a player everyone knows. Dwight York was the one for the A league. Imagine bringing in someone like Michael Jordan for the NBL.
They’ve just got to start off small and over time the league will build a following.
