The Birthplace of Basketball Gets a D-League Team

This isn't about LA sports at all, but since I have tons of family from Springfield, Massachusetts, I thought I would point it out. "The Field", as locals call it, is getting a local NBA Development League team. I think it is a great idea. The city loves basketball and even a minor league team will probably gain a following. I have been to Springfield a few times and it really is a historical basketball city and considering the fact that the Hall of Fame is in Springfield, this pairing makes perfect sense.
