JAKARTA (JP): The newly-launched Mahaka Satria Muda basketball
club aimed to compete in this year's NBA-like league Kobatama, a
club official said on Tuesday.

Doedie Gambiro, the club's chief, said that his club has
targeted to qualify for the final four by the year 2000 for its
second time after 1996.

"We want to compete in the final four next year. This year, we

to qualify for the final four. (ivy)
