The NBA is a company that is ripe for a competitor to swoop in and take a significant chunk of their market share.
There is A LOT of people who are simple not entertained by Adam Silver's NBA anymore. I bet a lot of people would watch a competitor that went back to basics. People say you could watch FIBA or college, but it's not really the same. College is a lower level and marred by one-and-done's and FIBA is not nearly good enough presentation.
If I wanted to make a competitor I would:
1. Use FIBA rules
2. Teams in tier-2 cities
3. Relegation and promotion
4. Every team must have at least 5 local players
5. Every team has first dibs on local college players to sign
You want to make this league everything that the NBA isn't. A sport, not a spectacle. Local, not global. Fundamentals, not flash.
This is what the people want.
