Some good news for my new home town of L'ville that it may, potentially, possibly, could be, rumoured will get an NBA team most likely, if anything by the 2018-19 season.
Other finalist include: Seattle, Mexico City, Las Vegas and Vancouver. My personal thoughts? Seattle and Vancouver both already had teams and for whatever the reasons couldn't keep 'em. If the con on Louisville is that it's a college town then what is Las Vegas? Sure the Raiders are rumoured to be moving there but I wouldn't consider it a sports town outside if one considers either betting or betting on sports a sport. As for Mexico City? That is an intriguing one. It would be the first US originated sport to set-up outside of the US/Canada and would certainly fit into the NBA's goal for expansion and growth internationally. Also, if you factor in the population size (i.e: loosely translating the size of an area's population to even sustain a professional sports franchise) then Mexico City (app. pop = 8,918,653) would win hands down versus Louisville (app. pop. = 760,026).

In the face of global growth a competitor founded just down the road in the 800 lb. gorilla in QSR known as McDonald’s, not even with the onslaught of the better-for-you burger brands like Shake Shack and in spite of a comparable small geographic footprint In-N-Out Burger has built a cult-like following by maintaining a laser focus on its brand identity of keeping things simple, maniacally executed against that promise and providing a dash of secret menus. https://www.qsrmagazine.com/competition/secret-n-out-s-cult-following?utm_campaign=20170814&utm_medium=email&utm_source=jolt
