According to NBA.com, we are the number 1 international market for league pass.
"Participation is high, Australia ranks No. 1 in subscribers to NBA League Pass International and in NBAstore.com’s international revenue, and the country certainly has the sports facilities and culture befitting a possible preseason destination."

Couple of questions.
- If we all didn't jump to Spain and India for our league pass fix, how much more would the NBA get from us?
- When will the games come down this way for preseason?
I'm still sore about Channel Ten dumping the NBL back in the early 90's. This sport could have been so much better in Oz if they had kept up with the push.
There's a market for more professional sport in this country - look at the A League. I used to love going to NBL games as a kid, if they could do it right it would be great.
