[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1420070, member: 7292"] The ABA and USFL both tried to attract fans at a lower price point, plus family entertainment and several gimmicks involving players and fans (including the dunk contests, family nights, etc.) At the end they all failed. Not because the price point, but lack of audience. If you will not compete/steal audience from the NBA or NCAA, you assume that there is an untapped audience there that will be attracted to G-league because of just a lower price point. I do not believe there is such audience. Right now, some G-league teams are pretty much giving tickets away and still can't get the market pull. A few 5* players will not attract an audience, most would not even know of those 5* players. Most of their fans who know of their existence are college fans who follow recruiting. The occasional super phenom (like Lebron) who will stay there for just a year will not change much. JMO. [/QUOTE]
