I'm so totally out of the loop these days. What the hell is a G League? and what's the difference between the D League and the G Leauge?

Same league, new sponsor. D League is now named after Gatorade

The G league is simply the D League rebranded as a result of Gatorade now being the major sponsor/advertiser .

I fucking hate rebranding and new sponsor naming to a structure known for years by 1 name!! I still refer to Roger Centre as the skydome, i dont care if they change it.

I'm with you, but 'D-league' was an already horrible name if not outright insulting to the players that might have to play there. You hear 'D' and you think 'fail' or 'nowhere close to good enough'. There isn't much associated with the letter G aside from 'good', and now - Gatorade!

Google pretty much owns all things G.

Didn't D stand for Development?

Yup. It was known as the National basketball development league.

D stands for Developmental. But if you are looking at it from a slang perpective, there is more reason for ridicule with the new name if you think about it.

" Yo you best fear my boy Bruno, he's a real G...3 years running!". But seriously naming a league after a toxicated coroprate "Sports" drink makes the league be taken less seriously. Its bad enough that the "Sprite Zone" at the ACC is a snickered joke as it is.

Just read that DraftExpress got bought out by ESPN. Sucks. Looks like all that great content going behind the Berlin paywall. :-(

I guess that answers the question of who was replacing Chad Ford after ESPN pink-slipped him.
