The name change from the NBA Development League to the NBA G League has been met with some chagrin and derision. On this episode of Fastbreak Breakfast focusing on the G League I explain why it is actually a really good name. Does my guest, expert Dakota Schmidt (@Dakota_Schmidt) from Ridiculous Upside, agree?
In addition to debating the merits of the new name, we address the following G League related topics:
- How does one become a fan of the G League?
- Were there any surprising or notable moments from this year’s draft?
- Which players have stood out so far this season?
- What are veterans like Kendrick Perkins and Emeka Okafor hoping to achieve by playing?
- Why doesn’t every NBA team have their own G League team yet? What are we waiting for?
- Are two-way contracts even a good thing for players? Are they good for anyone?
- Is the Wisconsin Herd logo terrifying or terrifyingly awful?
- What are the best rules in the G-League that the NBA should consider adopting?
- Do teams that are located a short car ride from their parent NBA team have an unfair competitive advantage?
- Has any NBA team without their own affiliate ever sent a player down to the G League for the express purpose of espionage?
