If there was interest in watching live basketball, they'd be there at the Drillers games, and we'd at least be able to sustain a pro basketball team for more than a single season. The idea that the NBA would even have an ounce of interest in Calgary is a joke

Actually, the Drillers didn't even last a season, and the team was dead on arrival as well. But that tends to happen when you have teams owned by underfinanced people, managed by ######s and playing in a league that exists only to make its owner rich via a revolving door teams arriving and folding with a constant supply of expansion fees. Several teams play in high school gyms, for christ sake.
You might as well say Calgary couldn't support an NHL team because the AJHL doesn't draw flies.
