My point is simply that in most countries, Toronto and Halifax in spite of the size disparity would be in the same pro basketball league. That's the type of stuff that builds relationships, affinities, commonality and rivalries.
Sure, but most of the country are not going to be joining Toronto in the NBA. The vast majority of the country will view basketball in terms of their university teams, the NBL which will be Canada's pro basketball league (Toronto excluded), and our national teams.

I realize the NBL is very young and small but surely it rather than the NBA will become Canada's pro basketball league.
