The LeBron James Index
There is an economical concept called the Big Mac Index, which essentially lists countries based on the cost of a Big Mac. What this does is gives an idea of purchasing power, for lack of a better term.
E.g. A Big Mac in Iceland cost $7.44US, but a Big Mac in the United States may cost $4US and a Big Mac in China only cost $1.41 etc.
So applying this concept to basketball, if you were to rate the league's around the world, how would you rate them on the LeBron James Index?
Here's my take:
NBA - 30ppg
Euroleague - 35ppg
NCAA div 1 - 55ppg
NBL - 45ppg
Where would you rate the L's around the world? Anyone game enough to cast SEABL (or dare i say ABL) onto the index?
