The Unuted States’ National Basketball Association has long been the world’s preeminent basketball league. This is the country that invented the sport, and it’s highest league is supposed to be where every basketball player the world over aspires to play. United States basketball has lost some of its luster in recent years though. Will premier players start to defect?
