The thing is, the NBA already has a lot of control over what FIBA does?so why not just call it the NBA World Cup or the NBA/FIBA World Cup? ?NBA has created an international brand?and shown they know how to create an incredible product, entertainment-wise. Not involving them in the branding?of the tournament is just wasting a resource.
