LeBron James wants to make International Basketball League to rival the NBA

[pete clemenza]

So he's not going to be part of the Las Vegas expansion team ownership? That would be a conflict of interest trying to start up another league.

Try to “buy NBC” and see how to turns out, brehs

He should focus on getting african players, the Motherland has a lot of potential in all areas and has already revealed great talents for basketball.

SAS once again carrying water for Jordan in some weird “Jordan vs LeBron” debate that’s now carried over to ownership lol.

Mav Carter is an advisor for this, while LeBron is not connected, and SAS has had no talks with anyone relating to the story but makes it solely about LeBron lol

Essentially because LeBron didn’t do a dunk contest, and cause he went to Miami that means owners will refuse to help him out like they helped out Jordan…. That’s essentially his argument lol

Windy rightly is like “I mean sure there are some owners that don’t like things that Lebron has done, but it’s about $$ and that’s all they care about”

Lebron no doubt will have tons of investors and $$ in addition to the Fenway Sports Group, and if they come out with an equal offer to another group (7-10 billion) there’s no doubt they are choosing Lebrons group. Cause in the end it means more $$

Bronny might be a star in it

Would be curious about their plans for this, because I just don't see how it could work. He would probably have more success in investing in existing NBA or European teams, or in the NBA plans in Africa.

Now is probably the best time to try to start a new league. There are solid players in their late 20s and 30s being pushed out of the league with the youth movement. And they could use FIBA rules and court size to cut down on excessive 3 point shooting.

What does this even mean? The best basketball players from around the world already play in the NBA.

Who would make up this international league? It would just be a bunch of average to below-average players from around the world.

How would that be different from any other international league?

Did you watch USA vs Serbia in the Olympics? Most of Serbia’s players don’t play in the NBA but they have NBA talent. The league could cater to solid international players who want to be starters, not ride the bench in the NBA.

Need to make a National Negro Basketball League. That will kill the NBA.

Ain’t nobody trying to watch a bunch of CACs play basketball.

They got one already, its called the NBA
