British Basketball League

The  British Basketball League, often abbreviated to the  BBL, is the premier men's professional basketball league in the United Kingdom. It currently had 30 franchised teams. Until 2007 it had just 12 teams before James Harrison bought the league and brought 9 teams from the English Basketball League and 9 from the Scottish Basketball League to give it the current 30. The league currently generates the second most revenue of any British sports league after the Premier League. Harrison bought the league and invested millions into it to allow it to be the European equivalent of the NBA.
