Disappointed with the "NBBA" moniker. It should just be NBA. I highly, highly doubt there are any legal issues here (speaking completely off the record as a law student, but not constituting legal advice).

I'm sure that if BB takes off, David Stern or Rod Thorn (is he still the NBA henchman?)will show up in Boston with a subpeona asking for compensation for stealling the NBA name for the top league in the US......

nonetheless, eventually, I think the thugs would show up telling BB to stop using NBA in any way, shape or form....
unless, of course BB was willing to pay a stiff licensing fee......

I seriously doubt that the NBA would care. I mean, Hattrick is insanely popular amongst the type of people that play it, but I don't think that organizations from the respective countries mind if they use the league names. At most, they would consider it a form of flattery, nothing more. Anyways if a lawsuit did arise it would bring a lot of attention to BB and a lot of new users with it, and then BB could just change the name and be done with it. I really don't think it's much to fret over.

But i think the American National League suits the top level just fine.

I really think we should rename the league in honor of my team. That'd be best.

I agree. And I suppose Major League Basketball is right out as well.
