Honestly, who cares? When is the last time ANYBODY here watched a D-League game? I've seen part of one because it involved my team's D-League affiliate and it happened to be on t.v. when I went to the gym.

If Gatorade wants to pump some money into the league, why not?

Still waiting for the.. G-League to expand. I wish they would make it a full fledged minor league to the NBA. Give every team an affiliate, extend the draft to a 3rd round, & let teams start to manage and develop guys in their own organization.

the NBA should be Nike Basketball Association, let the negotionations begin.

I am not against it in anyway.

 

MLB could be Marlboro Baseball League

NHL, ? 

WWE, Westinghouse Wrestling Entertainment

NFL, ?  Verizo - N Football League.

I see no reason to not have league wide sponsers at every level, in every sport, it has worked for Nascar Winston Cup/Sprint Cup for 40 years why did it take so long to catch on?

I think this makes sense because it's the NBA D-League. It's a lower level league that wants to get attention, so if Gatorade wants to give it some money to work with that's great.

If this happened on a bigger stage however, I would hate this.
