An NBA league is precisely the opportunity to increase competitiveness and expand the pool. If Manchester United, the most popular football team in the world, has already said yes, there must be a reason.
He emphasized that this new league would stimulate the development of the basketball system and provide spectators with exciting matches. The agreement stresses the mandatory participation of registered clubs in their respective national championships.
