From the Ground Up: Building a G League Franchise in Greensboro

It’s a typical cold and blustery early December morning in Chicago when the alarm clock goes off at 4 a.m. Just a few hours ago, the Greensboro Swarm had put the finishing touches on a three-point victory over the hometown Windy City Bulls at the Sears Centre just north of the city. There’s little time to rest though as a home date with Raptors 905 awaits back in North Carolina later that night.

Mother Nature has other ideas though as a snowstorm soon rolls into town just as the team’s commercial flight is set to depart O’Hare International Airport.
