Basketball is its business, so while the NBA D-League is selling dreams, it's also offering insurance.
When it was founded six years ago, the league formed a player development program designed to assist players on and off the court. It's since been incorporated into the Martin Luther King Jr. Showcase, an exposure-fest that's being held this week in Sioux Falls.
Each of the 12 assembled teams will play two games and attend one educational session featuring retired player turned motivational speaker Walter Bond and a panel of NBA scouts.
We are the people our parents warned us about.
