It's got electrolytes.

Your kids are starving. Carl's Jr. believes no child should go hungry. You are an unfit mother. Your children will be placed in the custody of Carl's Jr.

It's what plants crave
February 14th, 2017 at 10:17 AM ^
What ARE electrolytes? Do you even know??
Brawndo's got electrolytes.
February 14th, 2017 at 10:23 AM ^
Water? Like out of the toilet???
February 14th, 2017 at 10:31 AM ^
I ain't never seen no plant grow out of no toilet!
Hey, that's pretty good! You sure you aren't the smartest guy in the world?
February 14th, 2017 at 10:44 AM ^
Shit, I know shit's bad right now, with all that starving bullshit and the dust storms, and we're running out of french fries and burrito coverings.

That's what you said last time!
South Carolina! What's up??

It's a developmental league with minimal following. Was everyone up in arms over the Barclay's Premier League? If Gatorade wants to pay enough to brand the league with their name then good for them.

Zero Sugar Gatorade League?
February 14th, 2017 at 10:47 PM ^
Wu Tang (sometimes) means without sugar in Mandarin.Wu Tang Gatorade Clans? or WTGC.

February 14th, 2017 at 9:54 AM ^
Well that is just really fucking stupid.
February 14th, 2017 at 9:56 AM ^
How is McGary doing?

The Gatorade G-League sounds way cooler than the NBA D-League. Great move, can't think of a better decision.

Honestly, who cares? When is the last time ANYBODY here watched a D-League game? I've seen part of one because it involved my team's D-League affiliate and it happened to be on t.v. when I went to the gym.
If Gatorade wants to pump some money into the league, why not?
February 14th, 2017 at 10:47 AM ^
One of the teams was from Maine. Maine! I was enteratined by the sheer fact that I was watching a pro team from Maine.

I find this name change to be shallow and pedantic.
February 14th, 2017 at 10:16 AM ^
This the D-League. Should have gone with G2 League.
February 14th, 2017 at 10:44 AM ^
is this for real or just like a 10-day contract thing
February 14th, 2017 at 10:56 AM ^
February 14th, 2017 at 11:31 AM ^
Maybe they can now pay their players more than $25,000, 19,000, or 13,000.

WARNING: THIS IS NOT AN "ALTERNATIVE FACT"
The NBA D-League/Gatorade League leader in points per game (26.8) currently is Manny Harris of the Texas Legends. LINK.
February 14th, 2017 at 12:16 PM ^
Despite leading the league in scoring, Manny Harris was NOT selected to play in the league's All-Star Game on Saturday, February 18. LINK.

I feel like I remember this happening to Jerry Stackhouse with the Pistons back in the day.
February 14th, 2017 at 1:25 PM ^
DAMN IT! You beat me to it.
February 14th, 2017 at 12:53 PM ^
Still waiting for the.. G-League to expand. I wish they would make it a full fledged minor league to the NBA. Give every team an affiliate, extend the draft to a 3rd round, & let teams start to manage and develop guys in their own organization.
February 14th, 2017 at 1:02 PM ^
Hope the NBA shares that wealth with the talent. Doubt that it will.

Gaaaaaaatorade!
H20!!
Gaaaaaaaaaaaatorade!

Well, I was never a fan before, but now I'm going to start watching! Woo!
February 14th, 2017 at 8:06 PM ^
the NBA should be Nike Basketball Association, let the negotionations begin.
I am not against it in anyway.
MLB could be Marlboro Baseball League
NHL, ?
WWE, Westinghouse Wrestling Entertainment
NFL, ? Verizo - N Football League.
I see no reason to not have league wide sponsers at every level, in every sport, it has worked for Nascar Winston Cup/Sprint Cup for 40 years why did it take so long to catch on?
