The NBA Development League, founded in 2001, is the NBAs official minor league. Eighty-four former NBA D-League players were on 2008-09 NBA end-of-season rosters, and the league continues to develop current NBA coaches and referees. In fostering the leagues connection to the community, its teams, players and staff promote youth basketball, support local needs and interests, and assist in educational development through NBA D-League Cares programs. The NBA D-League also advances the game of basketball as the research and development arm of the NBA. Throughout this season fans can watch all NBA D-League games on NBA Futurecast, the free live Web-streaming initiative found at nba.com/futurecast.
