    Why is it cringe? Aside from the possibility of the NBA losing money, I see literally zero drawbacks.

    > You might possibly help out the economy of an entire continent
    > You might discover the next genetic freak who would have otherwise gone undiscovered
    > The new league might be like a pseudo-G league
    > Increases total overall competition in the world. NBA players might want to go back and play for their national teams in the olympics, etc.

    I mean, most of us aren’t lazy and want to give the author credit by way of our web traffic, especially for good content.

    Do you have like, 56k dial up or something?

    I'm guessing the cringe comes because of the inclusion of Obama? Otherwise this is just a story about another professional league on another continent. I think that's cool.

    Yep bingo.

    I think it's really smart they're putting a potential feeder system in Africa.

    Especially considering the athletically gifted basketball players who are popping up all over Sydney schools these days all are of African descent.

    Nah, got Fiber. I mean some of us are lazy and don't want to click links on every single thread in this forum seeing as ...yanno... there are links to articles in the majority of threads...but yeah I mean feel free to click on them all.
    Or here's a crazy idea that might work .... copy and pasting a portion of the article to whet the appetite so forumers click the link to read the rest of the article and in turn give the author credit by way of web traffic. Nah, too crazy to make sense.

    It would have taken you less time to click on the article, whet your appetite and choose to read or not read than it did for you to respond.

    Informative but pointless since I already knew what the article was about and had heard and read the story from other outlets prior to logging onto CF.
    My initial comment was about the majority of the posts and articles CH links as opposed to merely this one. But I guess thanks nonetheless?
