A New National League?

[Shootmaster_44]

If you were to start a new national minor basketball league what cities would you place it in? The only criterea is you can't go head-to-head with the NBA.

Here's my list:
Fresno, California
San Jose, California
Spokane, Washington
St. Louis, Missouri
Winnipeg, Manitoba
Halifax, Nova Scotia
Albany, New York
Baltimore, Maryland
Bridgeport, Conneticut
Grand Rapids, Michigan
Birmingham, Alabama
Tallahassee, Florida

I'd love to say Saskatoon, Saskatchewan too. But I live here and know all the problems the Hawks encountered the last time around.

Just Amish Cities - Lancaster, Decorah, Freeman, and Minot. Traditional uniforms, No Sunday Play. I think this is just the beginning. A religous based minor league system may be best. Example - The UML - Utah Mormon League, The QJL - Queens Jewish League , The TBDL - Texas Branch Davidians League. I see world expansion as a possibility - The MML - Mecca Muslum League - CTL - Chinese Taoist League I really feel this is the idea Isiah Thomas had in mind when he attempted to run the CBA :twisted:
