NBA D-League partners with Gatorade, will be called NBA G-League next season How does the NBA Gatorade League sound to you?
James Herbert @outsidethenba Feb 14, 2017 • 1 min read Ads on NBA and NBA D-League jerseys were not enough, apparently. On Tuesday the D-League announced that it has entered into a partnership with Gatorade, and next season it will be renamed the NBA Gatorade League. Or G-League. Yes, this is for real. From the press release: Beginning with the 2017-18 season, the NBA Development League (NBA D-League) will be renamed the NBA Gatorade League (NBA G-League) as part of a multiyear expanded partnership announced today by the National Basketball Association (NBA) and Gatorade. This marks the first time a U.S. professional sports league has named an entitlement partner. As part of the partnership, the NBA and Gatorade unveiled a new NBA G-League logo that will be featured across all game balls, team jerseys, oncourt signage, and league digital assets. Additionally, Gatorade will incubate its latest product and equipment innovations into NBA G-League locker rooms, and teams will have the opportunity to collaborate with Gatorade to help players maximize their athletic potential and oncourt performance. Through the Gatorade Sports Science Institute (GSSI), the sports fuel company will collaborate with the NBA G-League on programs to enhance player sports performance and recovery. Since 1985, GSSI has helped athletes optimize their sports performance and well-being through research, education, innovation and providing high-caliber sports nutrition science services. GSSI scientists will partner with the NBA G-League on player nutrition and training programs, incorporating the newest technology and innovations in Gatorade testing, product and equipment. The D-League was already sponsored by Gatorade -- whenever a player was called up to the NBA, it was officially known as a "Gatorade Call-Up." This is obviously a much bigger deal, and it's going to take a while to get used to saying "G-League."

I suppose it's not that bad - as long as it means fans pay less, given that more revenue is coming from a sponsor. I think you can catch all the D-League games on YouTube for free (I've watched parts of some ages ago, briefly), so maybe the deal helps fund that.
