NBL Relaunched.

There is going to be a new season of the NBL. They’re launching in October but there will be no Sydney or Brisbane based teams. Seriously NBL, get your model right. How are you going to attract a) public interest b) sponsorship c) match coverage if you’re missing two of the 3 biggest markets in the country. Of course there is the need to make sure that the clubs are solvent but it’s tantamount to entering a Jamaican bobsled team into the winter Olympics. Although a heart-warming, charming and humorous story, you know that it will be about as competitive as Andre Pistorious at a grape stomping competition. Check out those simile’s eh?

I’m not trying to suggest that Sydney and Brisbane are more important than the Melbourne market but for a truly national competition, it’d make sense to at least float at least one club in one of the two major cities without a presence. I fear things will only get worse.

Until then, here’s another picture of Kingma.



He’d know what to do. He'd make the NBL pose with a white trapezoid on their face.
