Qld the best league???
Basketball Queensland has claimed they are the best and the weekend ABA finals have "put the QABL on the map as the proven superior ABA League in the nation".
Now having checked the league results and rosters for the men up there, the league looks pretty average. The Carins program is excellent and is working hard all year to produce NBL players, full credit to them but one team does not make a great league.
Where do they get off saying this???

QABL- Proven as the most superior ABA League in the nation!
The Townsville Flames and Cairns Marlins have been crowned the 2007 National ABA Champions. The Waratah League winners couldn't put a dint in them; the best that SEABL had to offer were weighed and measured and found undersized; while the Big V 'big-guns' couldn't match their might. After collecting the honours in the QABL State Grand Finals, both the Townsville women and Cairns men breezed through the ABA Nationals to put the QABL on the map as the proven superior ABA League in the nation.
Grand Final results as below-
Townsville Flames 92 def. Hume City Broncos 49 (stat's)
Cairns Marlins 110 def. Dandenong Rangers 98 (stat's)
These two wins are a massive boost for the profile of basketball in Queensland, with the QABL looking bigger and better in 2008, with two national crowns and 15 clubs working well together to progress and strengthen the full State Championship.
