They added some more teams, and took it to multi city formats, kinda watered down the big names a bit by spreading them out but still some really good players. New format though which has what looks to be 3 games in one city, then 3 games in another with only 1 game televised in each city just doesn't feel like a step in the right direction, either does switching from Fox to CBS but it's good to see it still hanging around. I know they are trying to bridge the gap with the NBA but I really wish they'd just go to Olympic style rules for this league. It's much faster pace as more fun, but it's less street ball which seems to be the demographic. I like the ball hogs, I don't think they're very good, but I always liked the White Mamba.
Playing in Detroit on Saturday, breaking everything down and moving it to Indy for sunday's game just seems like way to much effort.

There's just something about Power that makes me think they'll win it all every year. Cat is so smooth

Joe Johnson can still ball. He may be the X factor in the league.

Bird man...
But yeah, they're stacked. They got really lucky in the draft last year it seems.

Mobley another amazing game this week. He and Joe Johnson look like early MVP frontrunners

Stephen Jackson's team also doing pretty darn well. People didn't know about Frank Nitty unless they really follow Drew league and that scene

Another game winner for Joe. 4 pt shot this time. He's the man in this league. If they can get more guys like him the league quality would go way up.
Side note, I play basketball very low key pickup game and about 2 months ago Pargo was there playing in the big boy game with guys like Randy Brown. I didn't know he was an assistant with blazers and he played very well today with Triplets.

Yeah Iso Joe is tearing up the league. The guy could legitimately still find a spot in the league if he wanted to. Perhaps as the Big 3 becomes more popular some of the older NBA players will start heading over. I could easily see Vince Carter playing in the Big 3.
I thought Pargo was a coach on on the DLeague Bulls, but either way cool. He's a streaky shooter but when he hits he really hits.

I believe he played at Boston College. Undersized power forward for the NBA but dominated the college ranks. He would have faced the Illini in the Sweet 16 had they not been upset in '05

If injuries hadn't destroyed him he could easily have been in the league this whole time too
