Let's talk about Kai Sotto, he is now with the Adelaide 36ers, an Australian team. I think this league is more competitive than Japan's B-League.

As we can see, he is already in the roster_ https://www.adelaide36ers.com/players
(wondering why PBA team does not have their own website)

So my question is, will he make a name in this competition and improve as a player?

his first game .

I'm not actually watching MPBL but because of Marc, I might be following a few games not only from him though. It's really good to see someone out from retirement goes back.
It's not just about the offer but also about the love of the game. Well, we see players going from the league after league. AFAIK, there's also another league for which some players from PBA that haven't taken the spotlight are playing there. I forgot the name of the league, it's also in our country.

Is that Philippine Basketball League - PBL?

Most of the players there are draftees to PBA. I think only a few players reverted from PBA to PBL.

Anyways, the league is already disbanded for a decade now.

MPBL is becoming more interesting, with some PBA players participating in the league, it will become more popular Manny Pacquiao as the founder will become successful as well. He has no success playing with the PBA back then with KIA, but here, his league grow and has become very competitive now.

ABS-CBN Sports is the official broadcaster of the league and will air games of the MPBL through its ABS-CBN S+A channel

I rarely watch this league too, so I am not familiar with what channels are covering them now.
If they have a online live streaming in youtube, that would be better.

I don't believe in that, you should show some proof to convince me. 

PBA is still more popular than MPBL and I don't see MPBL is competing with PBA since the players of the PBA are way better than the MPBL players, and some PBA players are representing our countries in international competition.

PBA stars do have that big advantage against MPBL players, the media exposures and the company who holds the franchise, the minimum fee for PBA players is already the max for MPBL(not sure but close enough i guess)  . Since PBA established the organization for longer time, it's incomparable in term of fan base success.

Though MPBL now is also gaining exposure since there are some PBA stars who transferred to this league, they are playing in a much tougher game. MPBL brings back the fun if you compare the type of game in terms of physicality.

With Pingris announced his comeback to this game, there's a good impact that he will carry when he starts to play.

Maybe he’s referring to MPBL now and this has been the second league to give spotlight to other basketball players, and give every cities to have a representative and play their game. Actually MPBP are way better just like NBA where every city have their own team while PBA works with private company name and it slowly going down because of so many issues with them. With MPBL, many players has the chance to shine and show their talent as well.

Basketball are more on physical game so technically he should be more prepared for this and I know he is already prepared considering all the trainings and exposure that he already have. Kai is a great player with a great potential and that’s why he was able to enter Australian league. There’s a good reason here why 36ers are not allowing Kai to play for the rest of preseason, they want Kai to be on a good condition and that’s a good reason already, hopefully they can maximize Kai’s potential.

There's no question about the popularity of PBA. No way it can be dominated by other local leagues. There's also no proof that most viewers switched to MPBL but we have to accept that the league is gaining attention. We should look not only at a single tree but at the whole forest.

I'm following MPBL for a long and I can see clearly the difference between it on PBA that's why it gained attention from viewers since then. PBA is already business but now becoming more and more business. If MPBL's funding will be maintained, the league has the chance to surpass PBA's usual number of audiences but of course, in terms of popularity, PBA is the top.


He's not referring to MPBL because he already stated it on the first line of the statement. Anyways, disregard now.
