The Big 8 in the USA NBBA is going to be insane this year with arguably the two toughest DII teams joining an already stacked conference.

I know many believe that Italy and Brazil possibly have stronger leagues than the NBBA, but I don't see any conference in the world that's as tough as the NBBA Big 8 this year.

We have one of the top 4 teams in the entire world (King Drive Ballers), 2 B3 quarterfinalists (Salisbury and Chicago Bulls) and every other team could finish 1st in 90% of the leagues in BB.

It's going to be brutal this season.

Yes and i am Santa Claus -.-"

and there's a marmot that packages the chocolate(36290)..and there's also a penguin that thumbs a ride..:)

Thanks, now that you've rested the reputation of the NBBA on all the B3 teams from the US (me), this should be fun.

After taking a closer, yet brief, look at the Serie A have to give the advantage to their conferences based on team ratings from recent playoff and end of season games. Not a huge advantage, but noticeable.

But, thats just team ratings, not overall team health and one big thing that stands out is the difference in arena size. Big 8 from the NBBA has an average arena around 16k (14.5 w/o JuicePats massive arena), while the Big from Serie A is around 10k. That's around 1.5m of additional funds the US big 8 has invested over our Italian counterpart.

Also, 1.5m wasn't a huge amount of money last season, it wouldn't even add a good backup then. But, with the recent changes, assume the value of every dollar/euro just doubled, which means the cost to expand to similar arena's bascially just doubled, and 1.5m should get you a much better player this season then it did last season.

We'll see how things line up by the end of this season, I think the edge to the Serie A conferences will be smaller, if at all, when season 7 starts up.

I now fully expect Drunkers and Stella Rossa to obliterate me if we happen to meet.

Everyone also Italian knows that the strongest conferece in Italy II.3 est. In serie A people speaks about beer and womans in II.3 est there is the real game
:P

II.3… did they ever come there to explain you're not forced to transform your players monoskilled monsters? I'm just glad I saved poor Renato Ferrari from becoming a legendary jumpshooter who can't defend against his old aunt…

What, you've never seen Peja Stojakovic in action?!
