Professional basketball pre-season is underway, uncertainty is getting clearer. DIMAYOR and Liga Nacional are being formed, yes, two parallel leagues. Live televised games help to improve the exposure and funding.

DIMAYOR 2011-2012 season, the mature but returning Professional League, finished in April 2012, in the midst of a restructuration. The parallel Liga Nacional tournament also finished a long 5 months season. Most players competed on different leagues.
