Europe will soon have the opportunity to be blessed with local blackouts, how exciting.

On a serious note, kind of interesting basketball is getting big enough to launch another league. Makes sense with all the new international stars I guess.

    They have domestic leagues, and a superleague already where top teams play against each other. So this is going to be in competition with that but since FIBA is doing this, they have to figure out how to roll this out without damaging existing leagues.

    This sounds like a super-league for Europe. If that's the case, will existing teams leave their domestic leagues? Or is it going to function like Soccer's UEFA or Champions league?
