Japan Basketball Association officials said that they would actively keep discussing how to overcome the differences between the nation's top two leagues in order to establish a new professional hoops circuit in two years.
Hopefully they will really be able to unite the two circuits, the NBL and the bj-league, because so many basketball media and fans still don't believe that they can make it happen.
On Thursday afternoon, the JBA held a news conference to provide an update for the first time publicly on where it is in terms of progress for the establishment of the new pro league, which is scheduled to begin for the 2016-17 season.
