NBA G League The NBA G League is the National Basketball Association's official minor league basketball organization. The league was known as the National Basketball Development League (NBDL) from 2001 to 2005, and the NBA Development League (NBA D-League) from 2005 until 2017. The league started with eight teams until NBA commissioner David Stern announced a plan to expand the NBA D-League to fifteen teams and develop it into a true minor league farm system, with each NBA D-League team affiliated with one or more NBA teams in March 2005. At the conclusion of the 2013–14 NBA season, 33% of NBA players had spent time in the NBA D-League, up from 23% in 2011. As of the 2017–18 season, the league consists of 26 teams, all of which are either single-affiliated or owned by an NBA team.
2000–01 NBL season The 2000–01 NBL season was the 23rd season of competition since its establishment in 1979. A total of 11 teams contested the league. The regular season was played between 23 October 2000 and 31 March 2001, and was followed by a post-season featuring the top four from 4 April 2001 until 29 April 2001.
