Japan basketball community leaders strike pose with single league in sight

Saburo Kawabuchi (C), chairman of the Japan Basketball Association, poses after a press conference in Tokyo on July 27, 2015, together with Toshimitsu Kawachi (L), commissioner of the bj-League, and Mikiya Horii, vice chairman of the National Basketball League.
